Journal of Information Security and Applications (JISA) focuses on the original research and practice-driven applications with relevance to information security and applications. JISA provides a common linkage between a vibrant scientific and research community and industry professionals by offering a clear view on modern problems and challenges in information security, as well as identifying promising scientific and "best-practice" solutions. JISA issues offer a balance between original research work and innovative industrial approaches by internationally renowned information security experts and researchers.

The international editorial board of JISA and its guest editors are committed to the highest scientific standards by implementing a strict peer-review policy for submitted articles. It will also regularly invite the best papers from renowned information security venues for publication in JISA.

JISA issues are published quarterly with a strong emphasis for details and technical contributions, covering a wide range of advanced and latest information security topics, including new and emerging research directions and scientific vision while keeping the readers informed of the state-of-the-art security techniques, technologies and applications.

Special Issue on Recent Advances in Personal Human Identification based on Biomedical Traits
Submission Date: 2023-08-15

Biometrics can be defined as a technology which recognizes individuals by their physical or behavioral characteristics. This common definition is often employed by considering Biometrics as a security solution to deal with the identification or verification of individuals. Nowadays, Biometric technology is not restricted to law enforcement or government departments by identifying criminals or by controlling borders, but it is also accessible and used in almost everyday life. It allows a more secure access as well as making our life easier. Due to the fact that Biometric systems are commonly integrated into general purpose devices such as smartphones and computers, the attitude of the general public has changed towards them because it has become more acceptable. In addition, the commercial Biometric industry is still growing and is continually being innovated, so it is not surprising the conventional metal key and passwords will not be used anymore as we know it today.
