Cybersecurity is an essential need for a modern society in which information technology and services pervade every aspect of our lives. However, it is challenging to achieve, as technology is changing at a rapid speed and our systems have become ever more complex. We are gradually becoming more dependent upon such information and communication infrastructures, and the threats we face are organized by attackers or cybercriminals to exploit our dependency. Moreover, cyberspace is considered the fifth battlefield after land, air, water, and space. Moreover, mobile devices face many resources and other challenges (battery life, storage, bandwidth, security, etc.). Moreover, the security of Mobile Cloud Computing and Web based Applications is becoming challenging day by day. Therefore, AI and machine learning approaches are more appropriate to secure mobile cloud computing and web-based applications.
The objective of this special issue is to investigate the novel AI and machine learning based techniques that lead to secure mobile cloud computing and web-based applications. Contributions may present and solve open technical problems, integrate novel solutions efficiently, and focus on the performance evaluation and comparison with existing standards.
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
• Security and privacy issues in Web based applications
• AI and machine learning for mobile cloud computing-based applications
