Cryptographic Applications of the ANS Compression

Short Biography: Dr Josef Pieprzyk is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at Data61, CSIRO, Sydney, Australia and a Professor at Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. His main research interest focus is Cryptology and Information Security and includes design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms (such as encryption, hashing and digital signatures), secure multiparty computations, cryptographic protocols, copyright protection, e-commerce, web security and cybercrime prevention. Dr Pieprzyk published 5 books, edited 11 books (conference proceedings), 6 book chapters, and more than 300 papers in refereed journals and refereed international conferences.

Abstract: Information hiding techniques are currently increasingly utilized by threat actors to elude countermeasures and prevent reversing the attack chain. Such methods are gaining popularity among attackers as they want to cloak their malicious actions from defensive systems and stay undetected for as long as possible. Currently, cybercriminals apply data hiding schemes, for example, to make their communication with the compromised machine stealthily, secretly download additional malicious components/tools, or exfiltrate confidential data. Unfortunately, detection and mitigation of threats taking advantage of information hiding pose many new challenges for digital forensics analysts, academics, law enforcement agencies, and security professionals.

During this keynote talk, the main types of data hiding techniques used by real-life malware (a.k.a. stegomalware) will be presented, and potential future development trends will be highlighted. Moreover, the main challenges that the current countermeasures face will be outlined, and the recent and novel approaches to thwart such threats will be discussed.
