Abstract

How worried should we be about a malign entity deliberately changing or poisoning our data? Is there risk? What is its nature? What harms might be effected? Can we build data-analytics that are resistant to such attacks, can we detect them? It is highly unlikely that techniques for handling erroneous data will be sufficient since we are likely to face highly targeted data-corruption.
