Speech Title: From AI to Generative AI: Cross-Domain Innovative Applications and Smart Healthcare
Abstract: This keynote addresses the paradigm shift from AI to Generative AI, emphasizing its cross-domain innovative applications and transformative potential in smart healthcare. It explores the evolution of AI technologies, challenges such as hallucination, bias, and high resource demands, and emerging solutions including Retrieval-Augmented Generation, mixture-of-experts, and multi-token prediction. Case studies demonstrate how generative AI enhances industrial efficiency, automates enterprise processes, and supports medical applications such as radiology report generation and disease diagnosis. By integrating spatial intelligence, robotics, and domain-specific innovations, this talk highlights pathways for responsible, sustainable, and impactful deployment of Generative AI across sectors.

Speech Title: Securing Edge Computing against Quantum Threat using Post-Quantum Cryptography
Abstract: As quantum computing threatens traditional cryptography, especially in edge computing, this talk emphasizes the urgent need for adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC). It presents a roadmap focused on cryptographic agility, inventory building, policy definition, and quantum-secure design to maintain security core principles like confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A key focus is our TTA standardization effort in Korea, which includes Part 1 (General) and Part 2 (SOLMAE Signature Scheme) of the NTRU lattice-based digital signatures, tailored for resource-constrained environments like edge computing.
The presentation compares the FALCON and SOLMAE signature schemes, highlighting SOLMAE’s practicality, simplified design, and its Python implementation. Looking ahead, it addresses the ongoing challenges of advancing PQC through innovation and rigorous formal development. The talk ultimately calls for immediate action to ensure long-term protection before quantum computing renders current security mechanisms at risk.

Speech Title: Secure and Privacy-Aware Edge Computing in Large-Scale Distributed Networks
Abstract: This keynote examines the security and privacy challenges of large-scale edge computing in low-latency environments such as 5G/6G networks, vehicular systems, and the Industrial Internet. It highlights the security paradox in which performance gains from edge intelligence come at the cost of expanded attack surfaces. The talk presents learning-driven and security-by-design solutions, including privacy-aware task offloading, federated multi-agent reinforcement learning, blockchain-enabled trust mechanisms, and explainable edge AI. Through applications in vehicular networks, unmanned aerial systems, and distributed IoT, the keynote demonstrates how these approaches jointly improve latency, reliability, and privacy, and outlines future directions toward intrinsic security and intelligent collaboration in next-generation edge-enabled networks.​

Speech Title: The Theory, Techniques, and Philosophy of Digital Artefact
Abstract: This presentation explores the nature and philosophy of electronic evidence, defining a digital artefact as any sequence of bits that holds potential value for a legal case. It explains that digital objects are complex because they exist in multiple layers, ranging from physical storage to the applications users see on a screen. To find the truth, investigators use technical methods, such as hashing, to prove that data has not changed and unique noise patterns to identify the specific camera that captured an image. The slides also cover how to detect forgeries using Error Level Analysis and how to spot deepfakes through physiological inconsistencies. Finally, it discusses the gap between computer code and human intent, where the law must judge responsibility even when machines only follow logic. This work extends beyond simple file recovery to explore the fundamental principles of digital forensics and emerging threats, such as quantum computing.
