This book explores various aspects of digital forensics, security and machine learning, while offering valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of multimedia forensics and data security.

This book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to the rapidly growing field of AI security, addressing the threats, vulnerabilities, and defensive strategies that shape modern machine-learning systems. The book examines how adversaries exploit poisoned data, hidden triggers, model theft, and privacy leakage to compromise AI, and explains why securing learning systems requires approaches fundamentally different from traditional cybersecurity. Across four structured parts, it maps the threat landscape, dissects backdoor attacks, develops defensive and game-theoretic frameworks, and introduces robust watermarking methods for protecting AI intellectual property.Drawing from real-world case studies in healthcare, finance, autonomous systems, and defense, the book translates academic research into practical insights for evaluating risk, designing resilient models, and understanding the economic and operational impact of AI breaches. Its coverage extends from adversarial examples and federated learning sabotage to ownership verification and governance-aware design.Designed for researchers, engineers, graduate students, and institutional decision-makers, this book serves both as a technical reference and a strategic resource for organizations deploying AI in mission-critical environments. It equips readers with the knowledge needed to anticipate emerging threats and to build AI systems that are not only powerful and efficient, but secure, trustworthy, and resilient by design.

This book reviews the most powerful attack strategies and potential defense mechanisms, always approaching the interplay between the Fusion Center and the Byzantines from a game-theoretic perspective. For each of the settings considered, the equilibria of the game and the corresponding payoffs are derived, shedding new light on the achievable performance level and the impact that the presence of the Byzantines has on the accuracy of decisions made by the Fusion Center. Accordingly, the book offers a simple yet effective introduction to the emerging field of adversarial information fusion, providing a wealth of intuitive take-home lessons for practitioners interested in applying the most basic notions to the design of practical systems, while at the same time introducing researchers and other readers to the mathematical details behind the theory.
