The evolution of cutting-edge technology, such as IoT, blockchain, and big data, has introduced useful tools and apps into our daily lives. There has been a surge in interest in digital technologies such as virtual reality and smart homes, which pose significant challenges to conventional computer systems. Edge computing has been proposed as a new computational approach for bringing data processing and storage closer to the point of origin. It has spawned a new generation of low-latency, high-bandwidth technology and software in fields such as health care, Industry 4.0, smart transportation, and sustainable cities. Edge computing has been proposed as a new computational approach for bringing data processing and storage closer to the point of origin. It has spawned a new generation of low-latency, high-bandwidth technology and software in fields such as health care, Industry 4.0, smart transportation, and sustainable cities. Furthermore, due to the network environment's complexity and high device and user mobility, attackers can swiftly join the group in stealing information. As a result, implementing protection and privacy protocols is critical for edge computing systems to preserve transparency, stability, and health. This Special Issue invites papers focusing on new effective protocols, innovative and efficient algorithms, security schemes, architectures, techniques, and services based on IoT and Blockchain to improve data security and privacy in emerging technology where critical data or information is shared among various servers, devices, architectures, and users. We encourage original research as well as review papers.
