Physical-Layer Security

Dear students,

We released exercise 2 yesterday. This time, there will be an optional in-person part in my lab. Please use the following sheet to coordinate timeslots for that:
https://dl.cispa.de/s/qr3EZX3sQ82GDzW

The in-person exercise parts will run on shared hardware and will all be located in room 3.10, building E 9.1. We will try our best to keep them open between 9:30 and 17:00, Mon-Fri, but we cannot give any guarantees that this will always be the case. If there are any issues, post your question in the askbot.

• These exercises will all provide bonus points (6 in total), thus you are able to score 40/40 without them.
• It is not possible to score more than 40 total points on the exercises.
• Follow the instructions closely. There will be exercises that involve sound, and not following the instructions closely may lead to loud, high-pitch noises.
• Start working early. Only one team at a time can work on this hardware. Allocation is based on a first-come-first-serve principle.
• Be hygienic. Do not change the provided setup unless explicitly instructed. If you do, restore it to the original setup once you leave.
• Be nice. Please try to keep your time at the setup to a minimum to allow everyone a chance at the practical exercises

I hope you enjoy the exercises,

Nils

Dear students, we updated the instruction sheet for exercise 1. In particular, we fixed the submission date to May 14 as discussed in class. We also added a note on alternative architectures (i.e. M1). If you happen to use that one, please check out Maximilian's suggestions in Askbot. Please raise other issues there as well if you have any.

Regards, Nils

Dear students in PLS'24,

we will start with the first lecture this Friday at 14.15 (sharp). Lecture location is the lecture hall at CISPA (E9.1 on campus, Stuhlsatzenhaus 5). I will generally also livestream to zoom (link in material collection). 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!

I also activated the askbot extension, please feel free to use it to ask questions that a) could be answered by other students, or b) can be answered by me and might be of interest for other students.

Hope to see you all on Friday,
Nils
