CALL FOR PAPERS

Special issue on:

https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/183811 76/data/v1 Bright Information and Communication Technologies in the 21st Century The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the 21st century provides remarkable benefits to society. At the same time, the dark sides of ICTs including threats to cybersecurity are also on the increase. For example, as a result of cybersecurity breaches, Equifax was hacked, which affected over 148 million Americans (Kennedy, 2017) and the Facebook security breach exposed over 50 million user accounts (Isaac and Frenkel, 2018). Considering the sophistication of ICTs in the 21st century and its impact on our economy and national security, researchers should pay more attention to investments in preventive cybersecurity mechanisms (Miaoui and Boudriga, 2019) to minimize the effect of dark sides of ICTs use and investigate bright concepts and approaches to drastically reduce its undesirable effects (Lee, 2015; Lee et al., 2020). To respond to this need, numerous researchers and practitioners in the Information Systems community (e.g., Lee, et al., 2018) have discussed the vision of the Bright Internet and contemplated a broad coverage of technical, managerial, economic, and policy solutions towards developing global trust building in computing environment, with emphasis on preventive cybersecurity (http://brightinternet.org/).

This call for papers invites original contributions, reflecting broad areas of technical and empirical researches to provide managerial and policy implications in the areas of bright ICTs and trusted computing. Researchers may employ any applicable IS research methods (analytical modeling, experiments, case study, computational models, design science, survey, etc.). This special issue will be fast-tracked for publication from the accepted papers presented at a post conference workshop of the ICIS (International Conference on Information Systems): Bright Internet Global Summit 2020 @ Hyderabad (http://brightinternet.org/bigs2020/) to be held on December 16, 2020. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Cybersecurity issues currently encountered by countries, companies, and individual citizens, and what can be done about these issues? * The status of global cybersecurity and security governance * The next generation Internet, and the principles that Bright Internet should adopt * Required regulations to establish the goals of Bright Internet * Novel and useful methodological approaches to establish Bright Internet

* Novel preventive security mechanisms for deterring anonymous sources of cyber threat

* Security architecture and protocols for the future Internet * Critical success factors for market-driven bright cloud networks

* Necessary protocols and technologies to implement Bright Internet * Trust and psychological aspects of the Bright internet

* Privacy concerns and privacy preservation in the Bright internet

* Fostering collaboration and innovation through the Bright internet

* Emerging technologies and their role for promoting trusted computing

* Best practices for enhancing the concept of Bright internet

* New research propositions, frameworks, theories, and paradigms surrounding the Bright Internet for the future Submission Guidelines:
