International Workshop on Applications of Moving Target Defense
AMTD 2025
Jean-Philippe Wary, Security Researcher, Orange Labs, France
Mihai-Iulian Plesa, Security Researcher, Orange Services, Romania

AMTD Description
Moving Target Defense (MTD) is increasingly recognized as an effective strategy to protect systems against diverse threats. Initially developed as a security approach for networks, recent research has uncovered a wide range of applications for this philosophy. These include enhancing the cryptanalysis resistance of symmetric ciphers, mitigating side-channel attacks, and, more recently, designing protocols for privacy-preserving machine learning.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the field of MTD to share innovative ideas, foster collaboration, and identify emerging directions in this evolving domain. The workshop will focus on five key topics:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning
- Cyber Security
- Cryptography and Blockchain
- System Software
