* ABSTRACT:<br />The use of digital identities in today's world is so widespread that you could collect a profile of a person's online activities. This includes usernames, passwords, search history, birthdate, purchase history, and further information. Due to the numerous personal information, it is important to secure all entities involved in handling digital identities. One aspect is authentication: many services apply passwords, although different attacks are known. In order to improve security, different authentication methods and their linkage to account networks need to be regarded. But prevention is one side of the medal. If incidents happen, they need to be identified and handled accordingly. This talk provides an overview of different aspects to increase usability and security for identity management throughout the lifecycle.<br />

* ABSTRACT:<br />Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are promoted as solutions for cyber security which can adapt to changes in attacker behaviour, learning models from data to distinguish what is normal and what may consitute a threat. Despite much research, there are still fundamental challenges in each stage of the process which prevent us having good benchmarks to understand the robustness of state-of-the-art models. The challenges span: collecting and sharing data safely, ensuring a sufficient fidelity and diversity of data, and then understanding model performance. We will consider these challenges in turn and present some recent research results which address each aspect.  Under the second challenge, we will introduce some work-in-progress on identifying "bad smells" for cyber security datasets used for training.<br />

  • ABSTRACT:
    Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are promoted as solutions for cyber security which can adapt to changes in attacker behaviour, learning models from data to distinguish what is normal and what may consitute a threat. Despite much research, there are still fundamental challenges in each stage of the process which prevent us having good benchmarks to understand the robustness of state-of-the-art models. The challenges span: collecting and sharing data safely, ensuring a sufficient fidelity and diversity of data, and then understanding model performance. We will consider these challenges in turn and present some recent research results which address each aspect. Under the second challenge, we will introduce some work-in-progress on identifying "bad smells" for cyber security datasets used for training.

BIO:  
David Aspinall is Professor of Software Safety and Security at the University of Edinburgh. He is Director of the University's UK government recognised Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research and was a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute from 2015-2021. His research interests range from foundations for formal methods in software security to more applied areas including anomaly detection in network security.

Robert Flood is a PhD student in the University of Edinburgh where he previously studied for an MSc in Computer Science. His PhD primarily focuses on synthetic data generation for training anomaly detection systems. He has also worked with cyber security data anonymisation and software correctness with The Turing Institute and The University of Edinburgh.
