Using Deepfake Techniques as an Obfuscation Information Security Defensive Mechanism

Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel, beneficial application of deepfake technology in the realm of moving target obfuscation information security defence mechanisms. This defensive obfuscation technique aims to utilize generative artificial intelligence systems to synthesize honeypot datasets that mimic certain characteristics of sensitive and highly sought-after datasets by threat actors. By synthesizing and intentionally making available realistic but fake datasets within information systems, this novel technique has the potential to (1) mislead threat actors from acquiring their target data during their data breach attempts, and (2) render any corpus of breached datasets useless.

Beyond Deepfakes: Synthetic Moving Images and the Future of History

Abstract:

This paper investigates the role of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in the production of synthetic moving images—specifically, how these images could be used in online disinformation campaigns and could profoundly affect historical footage archives. AI-manipulated content, especially moving images, will have an impact far beyond the current information warfare (IW) environment and will bleed into the unconsidered terrain of visual historical archives with unknown consequences. The paper will also consider IW scenarios in which new types of long-term disinformation campaigns may emerge and will conclude with potential verification and containment strategies.
