Academic Lecture——AI Enhanced Cyber Security

Time: 10:00 a.m  Thursday, January 2, 2020
Place:  Room 201 in East Technology Building of Electronic and Information School
Speaker: Professor Meikang Qiu，Columbia University, USA, Chair of IEEE Smart Computing STC

Abstract: 
This talk will first illustrate how to use AI techniques to enhance cyber security of various systems. There are several ways to apply AI to cyber security area. This talk will use prediction-based AI technics to enhance the total security of the  V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication system. The talk takes serious considerations of latency while implementation the data encryption for V2X communication systems. Furthermore, the talk will  discuss about deep reinforcement learning to protect the security of V2X system without scarifying safety of the vehicles. Examples and experimental results will be given to show the detailed techniques on applying AI techniques to enhance cyber security of vehicles, with the potential of implementing them to various cyber-physical systems.
