EURASIP Journal on Information Security is calling for submissions to our Collection on Trends in Digital Identity: Security, Privacy, and Trust.

Identity management is a critical component in the development and deployment of digital services in a variety of applications, including e-commerce, e-government, healthcare, and financial services. With the increased adoption of digital technologies, the demand for reliable identity management solutions is greater than ever. In this framework, many challenges arise in terms of security, interoperability, data protection and privacy. This involves both technical and regulatory aspects, thus calling for collaboration among researchers and practitioners working in various fields. This special issue seeks to foster this interdisciplinary approach by providing a venue for sharing innovative solutions, systematized knowledge, on-field experience and best practices derived from dealing with digital identity systems.

About the collection

We aim to explore cutting-edge solutions and approaches to identity management that can help secure digital services against potential security and privacy threats. 

We encourage submissions on a range of topics, including but not limited to: 

● Access Control in IoT and Distributed Systems 
● Behavioral and Risk-based Authentication Mechanisms
● Compliance with Regulations such as eIDAS (2), PSD2, NIS2
● Cryptography for Digital Identity (e.g., hiding commitments, selective disclosure signatures, zero knowledge proofs, accumulators, and secure elements)
● Decentralized Identity and Self Sovereign Identity
● Digital Wallets and Verifiable Credentials (e.g., selective disclosure and revocation)
● Identity for Web 3.0 and Metaverse
● Identity Governance and Administration
● Identity of Things and Cloud Security
● Mobile and Strong Authentication
● Passwordless Authentication (including passkeys)
● Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Identity Management
● Remote Identification, Onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures
● Securing Identities for the Financial and Governmental Services
● Session Management for Seamless and Continuous Authentication
● Trust Frameworks for Identity Management Solutions
● Video-based identity proofing (e.g. automated face comparison, impersonation attacks, document analysis)
● Zero Trust Architectures
