In this chapter, we will learn how to employ machine learning (ML) to secure and attack data. We will cover how to assess the strength of a password using ML, and conversely, how to crack passwords using deep learning. Similarly, we will cover how to hide messages in plain sight using steganography, as well as how to detect steganography using ML. In addition, we will apply ML with hardware security to attack physically unclonable functions (PUFs) using AI.
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Assessing password security using ML
- Deep learning for password cracking
- Deep steganography
- ML-based steganalysis
- ML attacks on PUFs
- Encryption using deep learning
- HIPAA data breaches – data exploration and visualization
