Conference Agenda

In recent years, security measures for information systems have advanced rapidly at the application and network layers. However, the security of the underlying physical layer is equally critical. A breach at this level can fundamentally undermine the entire system’s defenses. Of particular concern are electromagnetic (EM) attacks, which can inflict severe damage while leaving little or no trace.

This tutorial session will focus on the degradation of security at the physical layer due to electromagnetic emissions. It will provide attendees with insights into these threats and effective mitigation strategies. We will primarily examine passive attacks that intercept unintentional electromagnetic emissions from electronic devices to extract confidential data—such as encryption keys—and address other emerging threats that have recently gained attention. Given the serious risks these attack vectors pose to critical infrastructure and sensitive information, the session will also discuss the urgency of defending against physical attacks in an increasingly AI-driven, information-centric society, on par with conventional cyber attacks.

The session will offer a comprehensive overview of various electromagnetic attack methods, case studies, mitigation techniques, and their impact on diverse electronic devices. Furthermore, we will explore new challenges and vulnerabilities in electromagnetic security. By fostering an environment of knowledge exchange among researchers, engineers, and security experts, our goal is to stimulate discussions on future research directions and contribute to the development of a secure and reliable electromagnetic environment.
