The 5th Academic Conference on Cyberspace Endogenous Safety and Security, co-located with the IEEE CRESS 2025 international conference, kicked off in Nanjing on November 28.

Guided by Chinese Institute of Communications, China Computer Federation, China Society of Automotive Engineers and China Cyberspace Security Association, and hosted by the Purple Mountain Laboratories, this year's conference is themed "AI+ Ecosystem Presents New Challenges, Safety and Trustworthiness Bring New Opportunities." The event features a diverse lineup of activities, including a main forum, 10 sub-forums, 5 closed-door meetings, a sci-tech achievement exhibition, and an international elite challenge. These activities collectively showcase China's groundbreaking breakthroughs and industrial application practices in the field of cyberspace endogenous safety and security.

In the AI era, the focus for building the Chinese scholarly school of endogenous security lies in addressing three core issues: how to fundamentally prove AI safety from its mechanisms, how to design trustworthy AI systems, and how to detect their security performance. In the face of these unprecedented challenges, China's original endogenous safety theory and technological system provide a systematic solution. Endogenous security technologies enable AI systems, network facilities, industrial equipment, and more to possess capabilities for "self-defense, self-recovery, and self-evolution" from the design stage. This ensures the stable operation of core functions even when facing malicious attacks or internal failures.

The conference witnessed the release of a series of significant scientific research findings. A collection of theoretical research achievements, including four blue papers and specialized books, were released on-site. Three core technological achievements were also unveiled, demonstrating China's technical leadership in areas such as AI interconnection, 6G network resilience, and unmanned system security.

At the conference, the Purple Mountain Laboratories signed investment agreements for technology transfer projects with the Purple Mountain Group, Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Zijin Zhilian, as well as entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Beijing Guoke Huanyu. An integrated service system for information security and network resilience testing and evaluation of intelligent connected vehicles was officially launched. This system pioneers a tripartite service model of "Testing-Evaluation-Empowerment," providing full lifecycle security solutions for intelligent connected vehicle enterprises.
