Join us for an important discussion on Sovereignty & Security in the Age of AI, exploring India's AI future, security, and technological sovereignty. Date: 13 November 2026 | 10:00 AM โ€“ 4:15 PM Register now! #IITHyderabad #SovereignAI #AISecurity #CSEIITH
The next great power struggle may not be over territory. It may be over intelligence. ๐Ÿ“ท As AI becomes the backbone of economies, governance, healthcare and national security, a defining question confronts every nation: If we don't control the intelligence we depend on, how secureโ€”and sovereignโ€”are we? For India, the stakes are enormous. Who controls the compute, data and models powering our future? Can we secure AI systems built on global supply chains? Where should we draw the line between openness, innovation and national security? These aren't hypothetical questions. They demand answers, debate and action. Sovereignty & Security in the Age of AI The Department of CSE, IIT Hyderabad brings together voices from academia, industry, cybersecurity and policy to confront these challenges and explore a credible roadmap for India's AI future.

Benson (Carnegie Mellon University), Ramakrishna Upadrasta (IIT Hyderabad), and Praveen Tammana (IIT Hyderabad). ๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations to all the authors! ๐Ÿ” Key Highlight: The paper presents Yaksha-Prashna, a scalable system for validating eBPF network function bytecode and providing actionable diagnostic feedback. It bridges the semantic gap between low-level eBPF bytecode and high-level network behavior by using a novel control-flow-guided dataflow analysis framework to reconstruct packet-processing semantics directly from bytecode, representing them as a Network Context Model (NCM). The system also introduces a unified query interface that supports both validation and diagnostics, enabling users to understand not only whether a violation occurs, but also why it occurs. Overall, Yaksha-Prashna provides a practical and scalable approach to eBPF bytecode analysis and debugging, achieving 200โ€“1000ร— faster validation than existing state-of-the-art works. #eBPF #NetworkSecurity #BytecodeAnalysis #NetworkFunction #SystemsResearch #CoNEXT2026 #ResearchAchievement
