The 17 full papers and  5 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from  50 submissions.

These papers cover the following subjects: Cyber Security, Detection, Machine Learning and much more.

The rapid growth and reliance on cyber systems have permeated our society, government, and military which is demonstrated in this book. The authors discuss how AI-powered cyber systems are designed to protect against cyber threats and ensure the security and reliability of digital systems using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. As AI becomes more integrated into various aspects of our lives, the need for reliable and trustworthy AI systems becomes increasingly important. This book is an introduction to all of the above-mentioned areas in the context of AI Embedded Assurance for Cyber Systems.

This book has three themes. First, the AI/ML for digital forensics theme focuses on developing AI and ML powered forensic tools, techniques, software, and hardware. Second, the AI/ML for cyber physical system theme describes that AI/ML plays an enabling role to boost the development of cyber physical systems (CPS), especially in strengthening the security and privacy ofCPS. Third, the AI/ML for cyber analysis theme focuses on using AI/ML to analyze tons of data in a timely manner and identify many complex threat patterns.

This book is designed for undergraduates, graduate students in computer science and researchers in an interdisciplinary area of cyber forensics and AI embedded security applications. It is also useful for practitioners who would like to adopt AIs to solve cyber security problems.

This book provides readers with the basic understanding regarding the threats to the voice processing systems, the state-of-the-art defense methods as well as the current research results on securing voice processing systems.It also introduces three mechanisms to secure the voice processing systems against malicious voice attacks under different scenarios, by utilizing time-domain signal waves, frequency-domain spectrum features, and acoustic physical attributes.

First, the authors uncover the modulated replay attack, which uses an inverse filter to compensate for the spectrum distortion caused by the replay attacks to bypass the existing spectrum-based defenses. The authors also provide an effective defense method that utilizes both the time-domain artifacts and frequency-domain distortion to detect the modulated replay attacks. Second, the book introduces a secure automatic speech recognition system for driverless car to defeat adversarial voice command attacks launched from car loudspeakers, smartphones, and passengers. Third, it provides an acoustic compensation system design to reduce the effects from the spectrum reduction attacks, by the audio spectrum compensation and acoustic propagation principle. Finally, the authors conclude with their research effort on defeating the malicious voice attacks and provide insights into more secure voice processing systems.

This book is intended for security researchers, computer scientists, and electrical engineers who are interested in the research areas of biometrics, speech signal processing, IoT security, and audio security. Advanced-level students who are studying these topics will benefit from this book as well.

This book is to provide readers with an overview of in utero Pediatrics, an interdisciplinary medicine focusing on sequential and comprehensive care for fetuses and children who have functional and/or structural disorders originated from in utero. It covers congenital disorders in cardiology, neurosurgery, urology, general surgery, endocrine genetics, and other related topics. Each chapter starts with the basic theory, illustrates clinical practices on certain congenital disorders, and summaries recent research and advances in the field. Written by experts with wealthy experiences, this case-based book will be a valuable reference for pediatricians and perinatologists, as well as those who are interested in this field.
