Invited Talk Abstracts

Legal Theorems of Privacy
Kobbi Nissim, Georgetown University, USA

There are significant gaps between legal and technical thinking around data privacy. Technical standards such as differential privacy and k-anonymity are described using mathematical language whereas legal standards often resort to concepts such as de-identification and anonymization which they do not define mathematically. As a result, arguments about the adequacy of technical privacy measures for satisfying legal privacy often lack rigor, and their conclusions are uncertain. The uncertainty is exacerbated by a litany of successful privacy attacks on privacy measures thought to meet legal expectations but then shown to fall short of doing so.

We ask whether it is possible to introduce mathematical rigor into such analyses, so as to make formal claims and prove “legal theorems” that technical privacy measures meet legal expectations. For that, we explore some of the gaps between these two very different approaches, and present initial strategies towards bridging these gaps considering examples from US and EU law.

Adversarial Machine Learning (AML): Research Trends and Directions
Somesh Jha, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

In this talk, we will discuss what happens to Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in the presence of an adversary. This field is called adversarial machine learning (AML), and in recent years the interest in this topic has exploded. We will systematically cover state-of-the art in AML and discuss various attacks (e.g. data poisoning, test-time attacks, and model stealing) and corresponding defenses. We will then explore "technical gaps" in the current state of the art in AML, which will lead to a discussion of open problems. We will also discuss lack of formal definitions and semantics in AML.

WIM: An Expressive Formal Model of the Web Infrastructure
Ralf Küsters, University of Stuttgart, Germany

The World Wide Web is a complex infrastructure with a rich set of security requirements and entities, such as DNS servers, web servers, and web browsers, interacting using diverse technologies. As illustrated by numerous attacks, rigorous analysis of the web infrastructure and web applications is indispensable.

In the last five years, we have therefore developed what we call the Web Infrastructure Model (WIM) in order to be able to formally analyze the security of web standards and applications. The WIM is a Dolev-Yao-style model which aims to precisely capture the web infrastructure, with its various standards, on an appropriate level of abstraction. It is the most comprehensive model of the web to date. We have used the WIM in the past few years to analyze various widespread web Single Sign-On (SSO) standards, including OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, finding various new and partly severe attacks. We also proposed fixes and proved, for the first time, that the fixed standards are secure under appropriate assumptions. We have been in close contact with standardization organizations and actively support improving and fixing the standards.

In this talk, we present the WIM and discuss some of the case studies we carried out.

The talk is based on joint work with Daniel Fett and Guido Schmitz, published at S&P 2014, ESORICS 2015, CCS 2015, CCS 2016, and CSF 2017.
