SCOPE
Recently, the synergy between artificial intelligence (AI) and
security has gained increasing prominence and significance. This
evolution naturally arises from the need to enhance security with
greater efficiency. Among the many areas of security benefiting from
AI's integration, cryptography stands as a notable field. We are
already witnessing the application of AI techniques to address several
problems in cryptography, such as enhancing defenses against
implementation attacks and hardware Trojans, and investigating attacks
on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs). Beyond AI's contributions to
cryptography, it is also possible to identify the use of cryptography
to solve security and privacy issues in AI systems as an emerging and
pivotal subject. The mounting frequency of AI system attacks urges us
to explore potential research avenues involving cryptographic
strategies to counteract these threats. Our objective is to convene
experts from both academic and industrial backgrounds, each
contributing to diverse facets of cryptography and AI, to facilitate
knowledge exchange and foster collaborative efforts. Of particular
interest is the exploration of the transferability of techniques
across different cryptographic applications and the strengthening of
AI security mechanisms. Furthermore, we will delve into recent
developments, including those stemming from previous AICrypt events,
to provide insights into the evolving landscape of this field.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of the workshop encompass all aspects concerning the
intersection of AI and cryptography, including but not limited to:
- Deep learning-based cryptanalysis (e.g., neural distinguishers)
- Explainability and interpretability of AI models for cryptanalysis
- Deep learning techniques for Side-Channel Analysis
- AI-assisted design of cryptographic primitives and protocols
- AI-driven attacks on cryptographic protocols
- Cryptographic countermeasures for security and privacy of AI systems
SUBMISSIONS
We encourage researchers working on all aspects of AI and cryptography
to take the opportunity and use AICrypt to share their work and
participate in discussions. The authors are invited to submit an
extended abstract using the EasyChair submission system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aicrypt2024
Submitted abstracts for contributed talks will be reviewed by the
workshop organizers for suitability and interest to the AICrypt
audience. There are no formal proceedings published in this workshop,
thus authors can submit extended abstracts related to works submitted
or recently published in other venues, or work in progress that they
plan to submit elsewhere. Every accepted submission must have at
least one author registered for the workshop. All submitted abstracts
must follow the original LNCS format with a page limit of up to 2
pages (excluding references):
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs
The abstracts should be submitted electronically in PDF format.
IMPORTANT DATES
- Abstract submission deadline: April 15th, 2024 (EXTENDED)
- Notification to authors: April 19th, 2024.
- Workshop date: May 26th, 2024.
PARTICIPATION
The workshop will be held in Zurich, Switzerland, as an event
affiliated to Eurocrypt 2024. Further information related to
registration is available on the main Eurocrypt website:
