	Andrey Bogdanov Associate Professor Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science Technical University of Denmark Title: Whitebox Cryptography Abstract: Hardware, operating systems and applications get increasingly complex. In practice, this invalidates the standard assumption of a trusted computing base for the software implementations of cryptographic algorithms and calls for additional mechanisms to protect cryptographic keys. These real-world protective countermeasures are referred to as whitebox cryptography. This talk gives an overview of the basics as well as some recent advances of this field with applications to block ciphers. View online profile
	Adi Shamir (Stafford Tavares Lecture) Paul and Marlene Borman Professorial Chair of Applied Mathematics Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Weizmann Institute of Science Title: Machine Learning in Security: Applications and Implications Abstract: As you know, machine learning is growing explosively at the moment, and there are many academic papers and companies which try to apply it to various security problems. A particularly interesting subfield is the phenomenon called adversarial machine learning, which uses machine learning techniques to sabotage other machine learning systems. In my talk I'll survey the field and describe some of my own recent research on this topic. View online profile
