Workshop on Cyber-Security Arms Race

CYSARM 2019


Computer Security & Cryptography



Cybersecurity is a complex ecosystem that is based on several contradicting requirements. For this reason, it is often defined as an arms race between attackers and defenders: for example, when a new security model or algorithm is devised, it could act as a double-edged sword since it might both enhance the security posture of a system and introduce additional vulnerabilities. The goal of CYSARM workshop is to foster collaboration and discussion among cyber-security researchers and practitioners to discuss the various facets and trade-offs of cybersecurity and how new security technologies and algorithms might impact the security of existing or future security models.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-Advanced cryptographic techniques (e.g., homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation and differential privacy)
-Arms races and trade-offs in cyber-security (e.g., attackers vs defenders, security vs privacy, security vs trust, security vs usability, etc.)
-Double-edged sword techniques in cyber-security (e.g., artificial intelligence)
-Impact of quantum computing on cyber-security (not limited to cryptography)
-Next-generation trustworthy computing security solutions and attacks (e.g., TPMs, TEEs, SGX, SE), and their impact
-Novel attacks and protection solutions in mobile, IoT and Cloud
-Post-quantum cryptography
-Security analysis of protocols, including use of formal techniques
-Standardization of cyber security and trust techniques
-Validation of cyber-security technologies
