*****************************************************************************
SCOPE
The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and security has
gained significant attention, driven by the need for secure solutions
that deploy AI. Cryptography, in particular, stands as a notable
example of the benefits of AI integration. AI techniques and methods
are already being applied to address challenges in cryptography, such
as improving cryptanalysis and physical attacks and relevant
countermeasures. Additionally, the use of cryptography to address
security and privacy issues in AI systems is emerging as a crucial
area of focus. As attacks on AI systems become more powerful, there is
a growing need to explore how cryptographic strategies can mitigate
these threats. Examples include the development of cryptographic
backdoors in neural networks, the use of cryptographic techniques to
watermark the output of LLMs, or model stealing attacks based on
cryptanalysis techniques. Our goal is to bring together experts from
academia and industry, each with a unique perspective on cryptography
and AI, to foster knowledge exchange and collaborative innovation. We
are particularly interested in exploring how techniques can be
transferred across different cryptographic applications and in
enhancing AI security mechanisms. Moreover, we will review recent
advancements, including those discussed at previous AICrypt events, to
provide a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly evolving field.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are 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 (e.g.,
searchable symmetric encryption)
- Application of homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty
computation for privacy-preserving ML
- Cryptographic approaches to enforce security and traceability
of AI models (e.g., cryptographic backdoors of neural networks
and statistical watermarking of LLM-generated content)
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=aicrypt2025
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: March 14, 2025
- Notification to authors: March 28, 2025
- Workshop date: May 3, 2025
PARTICIPATION
The workshop will be held in Madrid, Spain, as an affiliated
event of Eurocrypt 2025. For further information about registering
