*********************************************************************************************
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and security, especially
cryptography, is advancing rapidly. AI techniques are increasingly used in
the
analysis, design, and attack of cryptographic systems—spanning applications
such
as deep learning-based cryptanalysis, side-channel attacks, and AI-assisted
cryptographic design. Conversely, cryptographic techniques are becoming
essential tools for enhancing the security, privacy, and accountability of
AI
systems, especially in light of growing threats such as model extraction,
backdooring, and malicious use of generative models.
Building on the themes explored in the AICrypt workshop series, this edited
volume aims to present a comprehensive overview of recent developments at
the
intersection of AI and security. It will serve as a reference for both
researchers and practitioners interested in the interplay between
cryptography
and AI, showcasing novel methodologies, results, and perspectives from
academia
and industry alike.
We invite contributions of chapters about original, unpublished research or
surveys and systematizations of knowledge in this interdisciplinary area.
________________
Topics of Interest
Topics relevant to this volume include, but are not limited to:
* Deep learning-based cryptanalysis (e.g., neural distinguishers)
* Implementation attacks and AI
* Application of homomorphic encryption and secure MPC for
privacy-preserving ML
* Fuzzing
* Malware analysis
* LLMs and security (bug fixes, code generation, etc.)
* Physically Unclonable Functions and AI
* Adversarial attacks
* Backdoor attacks
* Federated learning
* Watermaking of AI models
* Privacy attacks
We are particularly interested in works that bridge the gap between AI and
cryptography, either by applying AI to improve security techniques, or by
using
cryptographic tools to enhance the trustworthiness and accountability of AI
systems.
