About the Journal
The Journal of Communication and Network Security (JCNS) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to addressing the evolving security challenges at the intersection of advanced communication technologies and modern network infrastructures. In an era defined by the rapid deployment of 5G/6G networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), satellite communications, and cloud-edge systems, securing these complex, interconnected environments has become paramount. JCNS serves as a vital platform for publishing high-quality research works that advances the theory, design, and implementation of robust security solutions for current and next-generation communication and network systems.
The journal welcomes original contributions spanning fundamental research, applied innovations, and comprehensive surveys. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- AI and machine learning supported intrusion and anomaly detection and prevention of network threat, and network resilience.
- Vulnerabilities exploration and security enhancements for AI and machine learning.
- Application of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms to boost security functionality of communication networks in the quantum computing era.
- Privacy-enhancingtechnologies, zero-trust techniques, and secure data sharing in distributed networks.
- Forensic analysis in software-defined networks (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and IoT ecosystems.
- Security of cyber-physical systems, industrial IoT and control systems, underwater networks, and critical infrastructures.
- Blockchain applications for securing communication and ensuring trust in decentralized networks.
- Security and resilience of emerging paradigms, including space-air-ground integrated networks and metaverse infrastructures.
