MVI Activities on EMS Security
The MVI offers two new online courses on electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) security topics. The first course focuses on Software-Defined Radio Attacks and Defenses and will be offered in Summer 2024. The second course focuses on Securing Next-G Networks and will be offered in Summer 2025.
This course introduces unique security challenges in software-defined radios (SDRs), such as lack of built-in encryption and authentication, unauthorized access and control, and attacks utilizing signal manipulation and frequency jamming. It offers a hands-on introduction to the areas of EMS signal processing, SDR, and wireless communication.
