Abstract
The plethora of AI & ML algorithms have impacted different dimensions of use-cases while encompassing hardware and mobile communication devices as well. Hence,there are arguments how and how far the wide spread of AI/ ML algorithms could envisage Confidentiality of the algorithms and there embedded devices.
Significantly, since years Hardware-assisted trusted execution environments (TEEs) foster small pieces of trusted software on a holistic computing device to be distinguished from the rest of the software on the same device, including the OS and other applications. At present TEEs have become more ubiquitous. Almost every smartphone or tablet is likely to have a processor with TEE capabilities. Nevertheless, the availability of 3rd party App ( including AI)on each mobile devices also offers crucial challenges in protecting Intellectual Property associated with machine learning models, when the machine learning application needs to be distributed to the client with the ML model aggregated within it. However, already there exists potential attack vectors against TEEs and concerns relating to fragmentation, interoperability, and transparency. With Secured TEEs to protect AI/machine learning models can be trespassed through API extraction. Therefore, Confidentiality, trust and security of mobile devices can be compromised. This talk will usher substantial measures to protect the Confidentiality, trust and security of machine learning models for device oriented TEEs. The content will cover various ML model based attacks with respect to Graph Neural Networks, Large Language Model & Deep Learning and also certain progressive measures towards ownership resolution of the trusted ML models . As the area is still unexplored, therefore as future research it could envisage extreme importance for medium and large enterprises both for device manufacturers or mobile communication.

The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Friday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET.
The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.
The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.
You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML.
How the digital transformation is changing our lives
Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.
What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.
