Abstract

This report documents the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22412 "Intelligent Security: Is "AI for Cybersecurity" a Blessing or a Curse". The seminar brought together 25 attendees from 10 countries (Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA). There were 17 male and 8 female participants. Three participants were from the industry, and the rest were from academia. The gathered researchers are actively working in the domains of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, emphasizing hardware security, fuzzing, physical security, and network security. The seminar aims to foster sharing experiences and best practices between various cybersecurity applications and understand how and when certain approaches are transferable. The first two days were devoted to 20-minute self-introductions by participants to achieve these goals. At the end of the second day, we made a list of topics that were decided to be the focus of the seminar and that will be discussed in the groups in the next few days. On the third and fourth days, the work was conducted in four discussion groups where at the end of each day, all participants gathered to report the results from the discussion groups and to align the goals. On the last day, we again worked in one group to summarize the findings and foster networking among participants. A hike was organized in the afternoon of the third day. The seminar was a success. The participants actively participated in the working groups and the discussions and went home with new ideas and collaborators. This report gathers the abstracts of the presented talks and the conclusions from the discussion groups, which we consider relevant contributions toward better interdisciplinary research on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

Secure remote reconfiguration of FPGAs

Abstract

This paper presents a solution for secure remote reconfiguration of FPGAs. Communicating the bitstream has to be done in a secure manner to prevent an attacker from reading or altering the bitstream. We propose a setup in which the FPGA is the single device in the system's zone-of-trust. The result is an FPGA architecture that is divided into a static and a dynamic region. The static region holds the communication, security and reconfiguration facilities, while the dynamic region contains the targeted application.
