Dear students of Physical-Layer Security,

As announced in the last lecture (if you missed it, there is a recording on Youtube, see materials section here) we will have the second lecture on April 28 on Zoom again, as the lecture room is still not available. It should be available from next week onwards, so we will try a hybrid setup then.

Topic for the second lecture will be an introduction into Drones/UAVs, hope to see all of you in the call! Link to call is in the materials collection here on CMS like last time.

Cheers,

Nils

Dear students of the Physical-Layer Security advanced lecture,

We will start tomorrow, Friday, at 12:15pm with our lecture via Zoom. You find the link in the Materials here on CMS, and also in the timetable entries. As this will be the first lecture, I'll introduce the lecture format and planned content for this year, and will also check with you on preferred content from your side. I plan to record lectures in this class and to put them on Youtube afterwards, but please be aware that those recordings are not guaranteed as they may fail due to various technical issues. Please make sure to attend the lecture!

Hope to see you tomorrow,

Nils

First lecture will be on April 21

Dear students,

Thanks for your interest in this class. Unfortunately, I am currently sick and will not be able to give the first lecture as planned tomorrow. We will thus start with the lecture next week Friday, 12.15-13:45

 

Hope to see you then,

Nils

 

Physical-Layer Security

The lecture will take place every Friday from 12.15-13.45pm, starting April 14. It will be taught by Nils Ole Tippenhauer. Roughly the first half will focus on physical-layer wireless security, and the second half will focus on Cyber-Physical Systems/ Industrial Control Systems security. We currently plan to have a mix of interactive lectures via Zoom, and prepared videos. In addition, there will be practical exercises using Linux w/ GNUradio and other tools.

This lecture is an advanced lecture in Physical-Layer Security. Previous knowledge from CySec1 and CySec2, or Security is recommended. While the lecture will touch physical-layer concepts such as (wireless) signals, no background in that area is assumed. The lecture will cover thee main topic areas: attacks (and countermeasures) that leverage physical channels (e.g., side-channel attacks), attacks (and countermeasures) involving wireless communications (e.g., jamming, manipulation, and forwarding), and security for cyber-physical systems (such as industrial control systems).

The lecture will be complemented by 6 exercises (details TBD). Due to related effort, this course can only accommodate up to 50 students.

There will be a final written examination with no second backup slot. The exam date is not yet determined, but likely in September 2023
