DESCRIPTION:Explore how Software Defined Radios expose & detect radio?fre
 quency vulnerabilities across 5G\, autonomous systems & critical infrast
 ructure\nThis event invites participants from all disciplines and backgr
 ounds to come together\, fostering interdisciplinary connections and dis
 cussions.\n\nTalk Title: Software Defined Radios: RF Enabled Cyber Vulne
 rability Exposure and Early Warning\n\nOften when Cyber threats are cons
 idered\, fixed (or wired) Internet connections are the assumed way that 
 a target device is accessed. However\, Radio Frequency (RF) links are be
 coming more prevalent in connected systems\, from 5G to driverless cars 
 and even control systems for Critical National Infrastructure. There is 
 a growing need to consider RF links when securing networks and identifyi
 ng potential vulnerabilities. Software Defined Radios (SDRs) expose vuln
 erabilities by providing a viable means to access or even deny access to
  these links. In this seminar the term SDR will be defined and the capab
 ilities of open-source software in conjunction with low cost\, easily av
 ailable devices on the market today\, will be demonstrated through a pra
 ctical implementation. Academic literature will highlight vulnerabilitie
 s to capabilities from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positi
 on and timing information to drone delivery services and remote keyless 
 systems. However\, SDRs can also provide early warning of unwanted RF si
 gnals and\, in conjunction with machine learning techniques\, can classi
 fy those signals with high accuracy. Hence\, the seminar will also explo
 re the use of SDRs for the detection and classification of threats.\n\nR

  Centre for Digital Trust and Society\n\nThe Centre for Digital Trust an
 d Society organises the DTS Guest Seminar Series and is a focal point fo
 r research across the University of Manchester that explores aspects of 
 trust and security in our digital world. The Centre is part of Digital F
 utures\, a highly interdisciplinary network which operates across the wh
 ole range of the University of Manchester's digital research.\n\nAbout D
 igital Futures:\n\nDigital Futures is a highly interdisciplinary network
  that operates across the whole range of the University’s digital resear
 ch. We aim to present a coherent overview of The University of Mancheste
 r's digital research activity to external stakeholders and bring togethe
 r research communities to explore new research areas and address strateg
 ic opportunities.\n\nConnect with us:\n\nX: twitter.com/DigitalUoM\n\nBl
