The seven sessions in the artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) track at Upgrade 2024 leaned toward practical implementations, with a few exceptions. In this article, we’ll summarize the first three sessions: a discussion of AI involving two NTT partners, a theoretical talk by a NTT Research Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab scientist, and a look at […]

The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) has named Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab Distinguished Scientist and Director Brent Waters one of the eight IACR Fellows for 2024, an honor that recognizes outstanding members for technical and professional contributions. In an email announcement released on April 15, the IACR commended Waters “for the development

The second half of the Security and Privacy track at Upgrade 2024 featured talks on “security by default,” the double-edged sword of GenAI, and the integration of attribute-based encryption (ABE) within a deployable security and privacy platform. The first of these three sessions was a presentation by ServiceNow Deputy Chief Security Officer Jeffrey DiMuro, who

The Security and Privacy track of Upgrade 2024 consisted of six sessions, encompassing theory and practice. Moderated by NTT Security Global Chief Information Security Officer John Petrie, the discussions ranged from cryptographic innovation to Generative (Gen)AI to cybersecurity strategies and tactics. We will review the first three sessions – on the Cryptography & Information Security
