Recent Advances in Security and Privacy for Future Intelligent Networks

The articles in this special section focus on recent advances in security and privacy for future intelligent networks. Recent booming advancements in networking techniques have led to an evolution toward future intelligent networks (FINs). This trend takes place under a circumstance in which a great number of devices are connected for specific purposes by a variety of novel techniques. In FINs, we envision the benefits of integrating intelligence into networks. Contemporarily, these emerging techniques are still at the exploration stage, leaving many privacy and security challenges unaddressed. Existing researchers have already uncovered a great amount of attacks and threats. The situation will be more complicated when incorporating artifi cial intelligence (AI) techniques into networking, as AI techniques are facing unknown or new types of privacy and security threats. To tackle the security challenges in the design of FINs, we organize this Special Issue focusing on the security and privacy of future FINs.
