This...

Privacy Enhanced Distributed Ledger Technology

Privacy Enhancing Distributed Ledger Technology When is blockchain a problem for privacy? Immutability can be a problem because private information stored in a blockchain cannot be deleted. Laws and regulations may require that users be allowed to remove private information at their request. Thus there is a need for redactable blockchain and redactable distributed ledger technology. When is blockchain a problem for security? Immutability can be a problem because security sensitive information stored in a blockchain cannot be deleted. Security policies may require deleting data that is...

Explainability, Verification, and Validation for Assured Autonomy and AI

Autonomous systems are increasingly seen in safety-critical domains, such as self-driving vehicles and autonomous aircraft. Unfortunately, methods developed for ultra-reliable software, such as avionics, depend on measures of structural coverage that do not apply to neural networks or other black-box functions often used in machine learning. This problem is recognized and teams are seeking solutions in aviation and other fields. As one notes, "How do we determine that the data gathered to train an AI system is suitably representative of the real world?[1]" This key question is currently...
