International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2024)
Fellows and members of KASTEL Security Research Labs support the Steering Committee and the Program Committee of the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2024). Once a year, ARES transforms European cities into a center for knowledge exchange and puts the crucial aspects of reliability – availability, reliability and security – at the center of discussions. ARES 2024 will take place from July 30 to August 2 at the University of Vienna, Austria. Registration is open from May 3, 2024.

Privacy Challenges in the Era of Deep Learning: Risks and Challenges
Talk by Dr. Mohamed Maouche, INRIA/PRIVATICS (Lyon): In this talk, we examine the diverse array of privacy risks inherent in this data pipeline and present a range of proposed solutions. These solutions are presented through practical use cases, such as speech anonymization within Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems and decentralized collaborative filtering for recommender systems. Additionally, we delve into the distinctions between one-to-one anonymization techniques and synthetic data generation methods.

Distinguished Lecture with Martin Kleppmann (TU Munich)
Byzantine Fault Tolerance for Peer-to-Peer Collaboration Software: When developing web applications, the number one security rule is that the server should never trust anything it receives from clients. When developing peer-to-peer software, the equivalent rule is that a peer should never trust anything it receives from other peers. Unfortunately, many researchers working on peer-to-peer applications seem to have forgotten this rule. There have been efforts to build, for example, P2P equivalents of Google Docs, but they mostly assume trusted peers that correctly follow the protocol. A malicious peer can easily cause permanent inconsistencies in a document. This talk will introduce our work-in-progress research on making collaboration software robust against malicious (Byzantine) peers. Hint: there are no consensus algorithms and no blockchains involved! More Information.
