Abstract
The goal of this special issue is to showcase cutting-edge research on security and privacy issues in Brazil, with a focus on topics that reflect Brazil's unique security and privacy challenges. Why Brazil? First, Brazil is the largest country in Latin America, with more than 200 million people. It is the fifth largest and the sixth most populous country in the world, with a rapidly developing economy (the world's eighth richest). Brazil is also a major player in cybersecurity. Further, Brazil's capabilities in cybersecurity have grown in the past several years, as reflected by a recent joint government- and academia-led pair of workshops involving the security communities of Brazil and the US (www.usbrazilsec.org) as well as a US-Brazil program funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC).1 Many peculiarities and challenges related to cybersecurity and privacy are unique to Brazil and so warrant special attention from the international cybersecurity community because of their potential to inform future global cybersecurity initiatives.
