    Title: Fortifying the Digital Backbone for a Resilient Future

    Abstract: Cyber resilience is crucial in a world facing significant threats to digital infrastructure, ranging from physical cable cuts to sophisticated cyber attacks. This keynote will explore how to build this resilience from the network layer to the application layer, highlighting the importance of real-time in-network monitoring and advanced end-to-end security techniques. The first part of the talk will focus on network infrastructure resilience, which is crucial for protecting network protocols and traffic flows from large-scale attacks. We will review the vulnerabilities of current protocols, such as BGP routing, in the face of state-level attackers, and present our research on advanced DDoS defenses, including methods for detecting anomalous flow at line speed. Next, we will shift our focus to resilience at the application level, ensuring that information exchange remains both authentic and private. We will present solutions that include privacy-preserving group messaging protocols and automated vulnerability detection. Finally, we will explore the role of AI in cyber resilience. The vast amount of data generated in high-performance communication and computing environments demands rapid threat detection and analysis for resilience. We will discuss how AI can be used to automate vulnerability discovery, enable robust website fingerprinting, and process large quantities of audit logs and threat reports.

Bio: Dr. Hsu-Chun Hsiao is an Associate Professor in Computer Science and Information Engineering and the Graduate Institute of Networking and Multimedia at National Taiwan University. She completed her B.S. and M.S. at National Taiwan University in 2006 and 2008, respectively, and her Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University in 2014.
