ABSTRACT
Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain have become two of the most trending and disruptive technologies. Blockchain technology has the ability to automate payment in cryptocurrency and to provide access to a shared ledger of data, transactions, and logs in a decentralized, secure, and trusted manner. Also with smart contracts, blockchain has the ability to govern interactions among participants with no intermediary or a trusted third party. AI, on the other hand, offers intelligence and decision- making capabilities for machines similar to humans. In this paper, we present a detailed survey on blockchain applications for AI. We review the literature, tabulate, and summarize the emerging blockchain applications, platforms, and protocols specifically targeting AI area. We also identify and discuss open research challenges of utilizing blockchain technologies for AI.
Blockchain, the "distributed ledger" technology, has emerged as an object of intense interest in the tech industry and beyond.
Blockchain technology offers a way of recording transactions or any digital interaction in a way that is designed to be secure, transparent, highly resistant to outages, auditable, and efficient; as such, it carries the possibility of disrupting industries and enabling new business models.

Blockchain Defined Perimeter (BDP) is an enhanced Software-Defined Perimeter - that renders critical systems / cloud servers invisible; thereby making it near impossible for hackers to discover and attack, while providing a secure communication channel for legitimate users.
The basic idea of decentralization is to distribute control and authority to the peripheries of an organization instead of one central body being in full control of the organization.

We’re still in the early days of Blockchain as a technology, and so we’re yet to see the full impact that it will have on the world that we live in. Still, it’s already showing potential across a range of industries and started to enter the public consciousness, so the real question is what will happen when Blockchain technology starts to mature.

Public Blockchain technology like Ethereum is gaining interest and growing use case among startup and fintechs.
Apart from scalability issues which are going to be solved with new consensus and mining techniques (Ethereum Metropolis and Bitcoin SegWit2x with Lightning network), the privacy of transactions is still an issue which is not yet fully addressed. Due to the public nature of Ethereum, many businesses are reluctant to deploy Smart-contract or Dapps solutions for fear of exposing confidential or sensitive information.
The use of zk-SNARKs (zk-SNARK stands for “Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge”) essentially solves this blocker. Moreover, the next Ethereum Improvement Proposal called 'Byzantium' includes zk-SNARKS.
zk-SNARKs allows verification of the correctness of computations, without a verifier having to execute those computations or even learn what was actually executed. Using zk-SNARKs, a verifier can confirm that a computation happened correctly, with ‘zero-knowledge’ of the computation itself.
During this talk, we present a brief overview of cryptography and the theory around the zero-knowledge proof algorithm. Then we showcase the benefits of zk-SNARKS and other privacy-preserving techniques (like zcash) on the public blockchain ecosystem.
This presentation identifies and discusses certain ethical rules and opinions that apply to an Arizona lawyer's use of cloud computing in his or her practice. The concepts are generally applicable to lawyers in many other states as well.

Open Source and Cloud: Change Through CollaborationOPNFV
In recent years as virtualization and cloud became more and more mature an opportunity has been created for the industry to move towards an NFV networking methodology. In parallel with this phenomenon the role of open source has evolved to establish a fundamentally new paradigm for software development. The ICT industry has had to adapt to this change and move away from traditional ways of working.
During this presentation we will share some of our experience of the cloud market including SDN and NFV. We intend to shed light on some of the challenges faced and what lessons learnt on the path toward collaborative standardization and open source development. We will also highlight the importance of OPNFV and its role as an avenue to upstream communities for both investigation and cooperation

The amount of data in the world seems increasing and computers make it easy to save the data. Companies offer data storage by providing cloud services and the amount of data being stored in these servers is increasing rapidly. In data mining, the data is stored electronically and the search is automated or at least augmented by computer. As the volume of data increases, inexorably, the proportion of it that people understand decreases alarmingly. This paper presents the data leakage problem arises because the services like Facebook and Google store all your data unencrypted on their servers, making it easy for them, or governments and hackers, to monitor the data.

PRIVACY AWARE COMPUTING
Introduction
With the increasing public concerns of security and personal data privacy worldwide, security
and privacy become an important research area. This research area is very broad and covers
many application domains.
The security and privacy aware computing research group actually focuses on
(1) privacy-preserved computing,
(2) Video surveillance, and
(3) secure biometric system.
Now let us briefly discuss the above three groups.
Privacy-preserved Computing
Concerns on the data privacy have been increasing worldwide. For example, Apple was
reportedly fined by South Korea’s telecommunications regulator for allegedly collecting and
storing private location data of iPhone users. The privacy concerns raised by both end-users and
government authorities have been hindering the deployment of many valuable IT services, such
as data mining and analysis, data outsourcing, and mobile location-aware computing.
soo, in response to the growing necessity of protecting data privacy, our research group has been
focusing on developing innovative solutions towards information services --- to support these
services while preserving users’ personal privacy.
Video Surveillance
With the growing installation of surveillance video cameras in both private and public areas, the
closed-circuit TV (CCTV) has been evolved from a single camera system to a multiple camera
system; and has recently been extended to a large-scale network of cameras.
One of the objectives of a camera network is to monitor and understand security issues in the
area under surveillance. While the camera network hardware is generally well-designed and
roundly installed, the development of intelligent video analysis software lags far behind. As
such, our group has been focusing on developing video surveillance algorithms such as face
tracking, person re-identification, human action recognition.
Our goal is to develop an intelligent video surveillance system.
Secure Biometric System
With the growing use of biometrics, there is a rising concern about the security and privacy of
the biometric data. Recent studies show that simple attacks on a biometric system, such as hill
climbing, are able to recover the raw biometric data from stolen biometric template. Moreover,
the attacker may be able to make use of the stolen face template to access the system or cross-
match across databases. Our group has been working on face template protection, multimodality
template protection, and .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

DoD Networks Completely Compromised by Foreign Spies
“We‟ve got the wrong model here.
…this model for cyber that says,
„We‟re going to develop a system
where we‟re not attacked… I think
we have to go to a model where
we assume that the adversary is in
our networks. It‟s on our
machines, and we‟ve got to
operate anyway. We have to
protect the data anyway."

U.S. Weapons Systems Compromised by Chinese Cyberspies
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/confidential-report-lists-us-weapons-system-designs-compromised-by-chinese-cyberspies/2013/05/27/
Designs for many of the nation’s most sensitive
advanced weapons systems have been stolen and
compromised by Chinese hackers.
Designs Stolen:
Patriot missile system, known as PAC-3;
an Army system for shooting down ballistic missiles,
known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or
THAAD
The Navy's Aegis ballistic-missile defense system
F/A-18 fighter jet,
The V-22 Osprey, the Black Hawk helicopter
The Navy’s new Littoral Combat Ship
The most expensive weapons system ever built - the F-
35 Joint Strike Fighter, on track to cost about $1.4
trillion, stolen by Chinese Cyberhackers in 2007.
Drone video systems, nanotechnology, tactical data links
and electronic warfare systems also compromised.
Defense Contractors include: Boeing, Lockheed
Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.
24. “In many cases, they (DoD Contractors) don‟t
know they‟ve been hacked until the FBI
comes knocking on their door. This is billions
of dollars of combat advantage for China.
They‟ve just saved themselves 25 years
of research and development.
It‟s nuts.”

26. “No single product will stop spear-phishing,
protect sensitive data, thwart malware, or put
an end to malicious insiders… Instead there
are several solutions across endpoint, network,
data security and security management
that can and should be used in a
connected framework to enrich
each other and thus mitigate risk…”
