Cybersecurity

The IETF has a security-related working group called Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust (SCITT), whose charter reads:

According to the AI Standardization Request from the European Commission to CEN/CENELEC, European standards or standardisation deliverables shall provide suitable organisational and technical solutions to ensure that AI systems are resilient against attempts to alter their use, behaviour, or performance or compromise their security properties, by malicious third parties, exploiting vulnerabilities of AI systems.

Until recently, data protection relied on two pillars: protection of data at rest and in transit. However, data remained unprotected during processing, leaving it vulnerable in shared computing environments, such as cloud computing. More recently, this shortcoming was addressed by Trusted Execution Environments capable of executing arbitrary code. Today, any user can leverage the capabilities of Trusted Execution Environments to protect data in use, closing the end-to-end data protection cycle.
