Data Security and Encryption is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes original research on the evolving landscape of security, privacy, and trust in the digital age. We welcome submissions that explore innovative approaches to safeguarding data, systems, and networks in a world increasingly reliant on emerging technologies.

Core Themes:

• Emerging Technologies and Security: The journal focuses on the security implications of novel technologies like Blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G/6G networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). We are particularly interested in research that explores how these technologies can be leveraged to enhance trust and security within critical infrastructure, mobile platforms, and cloud environments.
• Advanced Security Paradigms: We encourage submissions that delve into cutting-edge security paradigms such as Software-Defined Security (SD-Sec), game theory applications in cybersecurity, and machine learning techniques for threat intelligence and anomaly detection.
• Data Privacy and Forensics: The journal welcomes research related to data leakage prevention, data protection strategies, and digital forensics investigations across virtual, cloud, and physical environments. This includes investigations of insider threats, malware analysis, and the evidentiary aspects of digital investigations.
• Cryptographic Techniques and Trust Systems: Submissions exploring novel cryptographic algorithms and protocols for securing communications and data are welcome. Additionally, research on Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency-based trust systems aligns with the journal’s focus on fostering trust in the digital realm.
• Threat Analysis and Countermeasures: The journal seeks research that analyzes existing and emerging cyber threats, including non-traditional approaches. We encourage submissions exploring reverse engineering techniques, threat hunting strategies, and the development of effective countermeasures against evolving cyberattacks.
