The advent of new technologies like IoT, Big data, AI, and Cloud/Edge systems in recent years is leading to elaborate more complex systems where efficacy is the major issue.

In this context, properties such as trust in stakeholders, security, and privacy for their users to ensure their sustainability are essential and should evolve to meet the new requirements implied by those technologies. Moreover, the integration of such technologies raises new threats that are of concern for users’ privacy and systems’ security and towards which new solutions should be proposed. Due to their complexity on firsthand and taking advantage of the regulation low evolution like GDPR,…, proposing security, privacy, and trust solutions by design seems to be a good way to ensure their sustainability.

Last, even though the security of systems, users’ privacy, and trust in stakeholders are of high importance, proposing green solutions to reduce the environmental impact is crucial.

The scope of this Research Topic concerns researchers and practitioners all over the world, from both academia and industry, working in the areas of process engineering, security, IoT, Edge and Cloud security, Blockchain-related platforms, and applications. Expected papers are about state-of-the-art, novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools for developing the next generation of sustainable security, privacy, and trust solutions with low impact.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

● Trust, security, and privacy in IoT-based systems
● Trust, security, and privacy in Edge systems
● Trust, security, and privacy in Clouds and multi-clouds systems
● Trust and privacy issues in Block Chain platforms and blockchain-based applications
● A secure business process composition
● Blockchain protocols in distributed systems
● Privacy by design in distributed systems
● Service dependability, survivability, and reliability
● Design and development of secure services
● Verification, validation, and testing of security properties
● Security, trust, and privacy taking into account sustainability
