OPTIMIST Hour Kickoff 17 April - Acceleration of AI for Implementation Security Testing

Greetings everyone,

We are excited to invite you to the kickoff session of the OPTIMIST Hour on Acceleration of AI for Implementation Security Testing, taking place next Thursday, April 17, at 3 PM GMT (11 AM EDT) via Zoom.

OPTIMIST (Open Tools, Interfaces, and Metrics for Implementation Security Testing) is an open-source initiative aimed at improving standardization and interoperability in security testing for cryptographic implementations. AI acceleration platforms and algorithms are becoming increasingly important in this domain. This session will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and government stakeholders to discuss challenges, methodologies, and best practices in accelerating AI for implementation security testing.

The kickoff event will feature several keynotes (announced soon), followed by an interactive discussion on key areas of concern and collaborative efforts moving forward.
