The Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the interconnection and data 
exchange of modern objects across every aspect of our lives, including 
our homes, cars, and even our bodies. It is estimated that IoT will 
consist of nearly 30 billion objects by 2020. However, due to the open 
nature of Internet connectivity, IoT brings a big challenge for the 
security community; hackers may exploit critical vulnerabilities in a 
wide range of IoT applications and devices for carrying out their 
nefarious activities. As a result, IoT security has already become an 
issue of high concern. Undoubtedly, in terms of offensive security, 
there is an urgent need to understand IoT-related attacks. This will 
help toward designing the appropriate security mechanisms. This special 
issue focuses on IoT-related attacks and defences, and aims to solicit 
original research papers that discuss novel ways in compromising and 
protecting IoT networks and devices.

We encourage the submission of high-quality contributions regarding the 
recent advances in IoT attacks and defenses. Topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to the ones listed below.
- Malware and unwanted software for IoT
- Vulnerability analysis and reverse engineering for IoT
- IoT Cyber crime
- Denial-of-Service attacks for IoT
- IoT security and privacy
- IoT forensic techniques
- Usable security and privacy for IoT
- Intrusion detection and prevention for IoT
- Cyber intelligence techniques for IoT
- IoT infrastructures and mitigation techniques
- IoT Hardware security
- Cyber physical systems security
- Adversarial learning for IoT
- Security measurement for IoT
- IoT security visualization techniques

Submission Guidelines:
Authors should prepare their manuscript according to the guide for 
authors available from the online submission page of the Journal of 
Information Security and Applications at 
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-information-security-and-applications.
** Authors must select “VSI:IoT Attacks&Defences” when they reach the 
“Article Type” step in the submission process **. Submitted papers must 
contain original work, which has neither been previously published nor 
it is currently under review by another journal or conference. 
Previously published or accepted conference papers must contain at least 
40% new material to be considered for the special issue. All papers will 
be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Requests for 
additional information should be addressed to the corresponding guest 
editor.
