The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has featured the groundbreaking work of Prof. Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi and our System Security Lab at TU Darmstadt. The article explores how we are enhancing the security of smart technologies and IoT devices, ranging from connected household appliances to advanced learning systems.

Last week, members of our research group — Alessandro Pegoraro, Phillip Rieger, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi — presented a comprehensive tutorial on the security and privacy of AI-based systems at the prestigious summer school on real-world cryptography and privacy in Vodice, Croatia. This event attracted researchers from around the globe, who shared their insights on various security and privacy topics.

Last week, our group participated in the prestigious IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy and presented 3 of our newest research papers there.

On February 15, 2024, Phillip Rieger and Alessandro Pegoraro from our group organized the AI Coding Challenge focused on the security and privacy aspects of Federated Learning (FL). The event was organized in collaboration with Platform Lernende Systeme and IBM Innovation Studios. Federated Learning represents a decentralized approach to machine learning, allowing multiple clients to collectively train Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) without centralizing data. This method ensures data privacy by having each client train DNNs on their local datasets and share only the DNN parameters. Despite its benefits, this decentralization also opens the door to potential security threats, including the submission of manipulated DNN models by malicious clients.
