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.
