Prof. Shin-Ming Cheng received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and information engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 2000 and 2007, respectively. He was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan University, from 2007 to 2012. Since 2012, he has been on the faculty of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, where he is currently a professor. Since 2017, he has been with the Research Center for Information Technology Innovation, Academia Sinica, Taipei, where he is currently a Joint Appointment Associate Research Fellow.
His current interests are security mechanism design and application development in the following areas:
- 4G LTE, 5G NR, O-RAN
- IoT system
- ML/DL models
Since 2015, he leads an Advanced Information Security Summer School (AIS3) project and incubates more than 1000 security young talnets in Taiwan. He received 2014 K. T. Li Young Researcher Award from ACM Taipei/Taiwan Chapter, IEEE PIMRC 2013 and IEEE Trustcom 2020 Best Paper Award, CISC 2020 and 2021 Best Paper Award, and 2013 Young Scholar Award from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.
The openness of Radio Access Networks (RAN) coupled with AI has positioned O-RAN as the next-generation solution for telecommunications networks. On one hand, its intelligence, flexibility, and customization have paved the way for innovative, convenient, and cost-effective usage scenarios and opportunities. However, on the other hand, it has also led to new types of cybersecurity attacks and potential security threats. This presentation will investigate into the vulnerabilities arising from new components and interfaces within O-RAN, with a particular focus on the threats posed by the integration of AI. Finally, we will further discuss corresponding protection mechanisms.
