Week 1: A Little Exploration
March 21, 2025
Hello guys, welcome back to my blog! As I look around myself, I realize how much work still remains to be done. This week, I sharpened my research by incorporating how bad-faith actors (hackers misusing AI) and the general risks of AI will impact technology. Cryptography keeps our information safe and ultimately the world more secure. I’ve compiled a list of main points from each of the chosen research papers and documents to know where to go after this. I admit that terms such as “homomorphic encryption” were somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but I’m starting to see how AI deal with encryption on a deeper layer compared to more traditional models such as RSA. I’ve been looking at AI and I have noticed that it offers cool twists, in that it generates keys right away. It works far more “randomly”. I have started with looking at three of the many papers that I have to work with. One on neural networks that learn encryption (Meraouche et al., 2021), another on how AI can boost quantum security (Radanliev, 2024), and one that talks about the stability of AI systems when using cool new encryption tools (Cano Garcia et al., 2022). Starting next week, I will start a literature review that focuses on AI’s role in cryptography, its generation for secure keys (that lock your information), and potentially quantum-resistant approaches (approaches that deal with the looming possibility of actualized quantum computing). Next week, I hope that I can reach out to expert researchers. I am looking forward to gaining insights on how these technologies will be involved in real-world cases.

Great post! It sounds like you’ve really dived into some complex topics this week. Homomorphic encryption and AI-generated keys seem like very difficult subjects to grasp without great advisors in the field, so I recommend potentially reaching out to some researchers in the field of encryption and interviewing them to elevate your understanding and hopefully your research as well.
Interesting developments, Victor. These research papers you’re looking into sound fascinating. I would agree with what Maxim suggested, an expert advisor sounds like it will be incredibly helpful in guiding you through these complex systems. I’m curious if you have particular services/organizations you plan to get in contact with. Have you made any decision in regard to this?
Hey Mr. Festo, right now my on-site placement is guiding me through the process, but it would be helpful to work with another expert.
Fascinating read, Victor! I sincerely enjoyed your exploration into AI’s ability to generate secure keys, especially with its more random and dynamic approach compared to traditional methods like RSA. It might be useful to also investigate how these AI-generated keys perform against common cyberattacks, such as brute force or side-channel attacks, to further assess their real-world security. That aside, great work!
Thanks for the feedback
