DC5: Security issues of JCAS

Task: Security issues of JCAS (WP2)

Host institution: TU Delft

Country:The Netherlands

Supervisors: Prof. M. Hollick [TUDa]

Co-supervisors/mentors: Dr. Arash Asadi [TUDa],  Dr. Gek Hong Sim, Dr. M. Uusitalo

Objectives: To conduct a systematic security analysis of JCAS systems focusing on new attack vectors that exploit the sensing capabilities of the network; To devise lightweight security mechanisms to mitigate the impact of adversarial attacks on JCAS; To implement and evaluate the proposed security mechanisms on COTS routers or FPGA-based SDRs in TUDa (Obj3b).

Expected Results: New attack vendors on JCAS are identified and analysed; Novel mechanisms that can significantly mitigate the impact of adversarial attacks on JCAS; Implementation of the proposed security mechanisms on COTS routers or SDRs.
