We are pleased to announce that International Journal of Information Security will become a fully open access (OA) on 1 January 2026.
Despite their promise in revolutionizing data security for big data, emerging encryption techniques still face significant challenges. Many methods, such as fully homomorphic encryption, are computationally intensive and introduce considerable performance overhead, making them impractical for real-time applications. On the other hand, some encryption systems that are more suitable for deployment in big data environments face security challenges, such as searchable encryption schemes, which carry the risk of information leakage. Therefore, further research into emerging encryption technologies for big data is critical.
Topics
The aim of the proposed special issue is to promote research and reflect the most recent advances in emerging encryption techniques for big data, with emphasis on the following aspects, but certainly not limited to:
- (Fully) Homomorphic Encryption;
- Functional Encryption;
- Identity-Based Encryption;
- Attribute-Based Encryption;
- Predicate Encryption;
- Matching Encryption;
- Broadcast Encryption;
- Proxy Re-Encryption;
- Searchable Encryption;
- Message-Locked Encryption;
- Order-Preserving Encryption;
- Lightweight Encryption;
- Honey Encryption;
- Witness Encryption;
- Deniable Encryption;
- Anamorphic Encryption;
- Kleptography.
