With the rapid development of wireless
communication technology, mobile computing combined with the current hot
Internet of Things, fog computing, blockchain, and other technologies, in
intelligent transportation, medical health, energy management, and other fields
to extend a wealth of application scenarios. Although mobile computing has
great application prospects in the above emerging scenarios, due to the wide
openness of mobile computing networks, the limited resources of mobile
terminals and dynamic changes in network topology, the emerging mobile
computing networks not only face greater security threats and privacy leakage
risks but also add many obstacles to the design of security and privacy
protection schemes for mobile computing networks.
Security and privacy issues have gradually become a huge challenge and even become one of the bottlenecks of mobile computing development. However, traditional security and privacy mechanisms do not apply to these emerging mobile computing scenarios. Therefore, the design of security and privacy methods for emerging mobile computing applications has received extensive attention and focused research from academia and industry.
The objective of this special issue is to compile recent research efforts dedicated to study the security and privacy of rapidly increasing mobile computing applications.
