To many people, smartphones and other mobile devices have been an indispensable
part of daily life and work. With personal financial and medical information and
job related data being processed on mobile devices, systems and networks as well
as the connected mobile cloud, it is critically important that the development
and advancement of secure mobile operating systems, secure mobile applications,
secure smartphone devices, secure cellular networks and secure mobile cloud all
keep up with the ever‐growing mobile usage. For this reason, this research area
has been a very important sector in the network, telecommunication and cloud
industry and a focus of funded research projects in many research institutes.

The scope of The Special Issue on The Security, Privacy, and Digital Forensics
of Mobile Networks and Mobile Cloud encompasses the security, privacy, and
digital forensics of mobile systems, mobile networks and mobile cloud, including
but not limited to Android, iOS and Windows Mobile operating systems,
smartphones and applications for these platforms and devices, as well as
cellular networks and mobile cloud and applications. Topics of interest include
(but are not limited to) the following subject categories:
 Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile security and privacy
 Digital forensics on mobile operating systems, applications and smartphones
 Secure mobile application development
 Smartphone and mobile device/hardware security
 Mobile application and mobile cloud application security and digital forensics
 Mobile user and mobile cloud user authentication and authorization
 Multi‐factor mobile system and mobile cloud authentication
 Mobile user and mobile cloud user privacy
 Mobile vulnerability detection and remediation
 Intrusion detection and disaster recovery on mobile OS, applications,
smartphones, cellular networks and mobile cloud
 Mobile device and mobile cloud management
 Modeling, design and testing for secure mobile cloud
 Secure algorithms and methodologies for mobile cloud
 Secure and efficient private mobile cloud
 4G and 5G security
 Security and privacy in mobile edge computing
