INTRODUCTION
This journal has been anxiously awaited by those interested in the security and safety problems associated
with artificial intelligence, the blockchain, databases, cloud computing, multimedia, wireless networks, IoT,
and other computer science and cryptography technologies.

In recent years, security threats faced by new technologies are emerging without end, while the security
requirements of traditional technologies are increasing. Interest in these areas has grown rapidly, mainly
including the security issues from the perspectives of AI, data, network, computing, cryptography, access
control, industries, policies, models, etc. The deeper is the awareness of private data that people have, the
higher is their need for application security.

Explosive growth in the number and scale of machine learning models, requiring robustness in their
training and testing periods against adversarial attacks, is one of the most striking characteristics of the
current technological landscape about artificial intelligence. The expansion of research related to both
machine learning-based attacks and their interpretation has driven the rapid growth of the research area
in secure machine learning models. The urgent need for security research is not a unique trend in a certain
field, and tricky challenges regarding security issues also appear in other popular areas, e.g., the blockchain,
where multiple system components, such as consensus mechanism and smart contract, have been found
susceptible to malicious attacks that destroy the credibility of the system.
