Challenges in GenAI and Authentication: a scoping review

Authentication and authenticity have been a security challenge since the beginning of information sharing, especially in the context of digital information. With the advancement of generative artificial intelligence, these challenges have evolved, demanding a more up-to-date analysis of their impacts on society and system security. This work presents a scoping review that analyzed 88 documents from the IEEExplorer, Scopus, and ACM databases, promoting an analysis of the resulting portfolio through six guiding questions focusing on the most relevant work, challenges, attack surfaces, threats, proposed solutions, and gaps. Finally, the portfolio articles are analyzed through this guiding research lens and also receive individualized analysis. The results consistently outline the challenges, gaps, and threats related to images, text, audio, and video, thereby supporting new research in the areas of authentication and generative artificial intelligence.

A Survey of Large Language Models in Cybersecurity

Large Language Models (LLMs) have quickly risen to prominence due to their ability to perform at or close to the state-of-the-art in a variety of fields while handling natural language. An important field of research is the application of such models at the cybersecurity context. This survey aims to identify where in the field of cybersecurity LLMs have already been applied, the ways in which they are being used and their limitations in the field. Finally, suggestions are made on how to improve such limitations and what can be expected from these systems once these limitations are overcome.
