Special Issue of Journal of Systems Architecture on 
  Security and Privacy in AIoT-enabled Smart Cities

https://www.sciencedirect.com/special-issue/313735/security-and-privacy-in-aiot-enabled-smart-society

In a smart city, numerous artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)
communicate and collaborate to improve our quality of life. Both
artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) are
foundational technologies that have been interacting with each other
to realize a smart life. As massive amounts of sensitive data are
generated, processed, and exchanged through IoT devices and AI
technologies, one of the fundamental problems is how to provide
intelligent services in smart cities without compromising security and
privacy. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and
practitioners in IoT, AI, and network security, to share their novel
ideas and latest findings in relation to security and privacy in
AIoT-enabled smart cities. The scope and interests for the special
issue include, but are not limited to, the following list:

 - Secure IoT infrastructure for smart cities
 - Secure smart city applications, including secure AI-driven IoT applications 
 - Authentication and access control in IoT-enabled smart cities
 - Intrusion detection for IoT-enabled smart cities 
 - Architectures and standards for secure IoT systems
 - AI and big data techniques for IoT-enabled secure smart cities
 - Blockchain technology for IoT-enabled secure smart cities
 - Secure multi-party computation techniques for ML
 - Security optimization in heterogeneous environments
 - AI-driven mechanisms and models to perform attacks
 - Security and privacy issues in AI-enabled IoT communications and systems
 - Privacy-preserving ML
 - Privacy-preserving data mining
 - Privacy and anonymity techniques for IoT and AI
 - Data privacy in AIoT-enabled smart cities
 - Privacy preserving techniques for IoT-enabled smart cities
 - Privacy modeling and analysis for IoT-enabled smart cities
 - Miscellaneous privacy issues in AIoT-enabled smart cities
