Foundation of Wireless Security: Sniff, Sense, Secure

Foundation of Wireless Security: Sniff, Sense, Secure

Wireless technologies are an essential building block of today’s digital infrastructure, enabling the exchange of confidential information, facilitating financial transactions, supporting remote health monitoring, tracking assets, and driving industrial automation, among numerous other mission-critical services. As wireless systems increasingly mediate sensitive data and safety-relevant operations, they must ensure security properties, including confidentiality, integrity, availability, secure localization, location privacy, authentication, and effective access control.  This advanced lecture provides an in-depth exploration of wireless security from both theoretical and practical perspectives. We will focus on the threat landscape specific to wireless communication systems, including eavesdropping, jamming, spoofing, replay, relay attacks, and protocol-level exploitation. The course is structured as a combination of lecture series and hands-on tutorial sessions.
