<p><b>Title: Intentional Electromagnetic Interference - A Novel
threat to digital infrastructure</b></p>
<p><b>Abstract:</b> <br>
Modern society relies heavily on digital devices to function, e.g.
computer servers to run port facilities, traffic control or energy
distribution networks. Under these circumstances, one possible
attack vector for a malevolent is the use of electromagnetic
signals to interfere with the computer systems of their opponents,
which are, as we saw, vital for command, control and communication
and rely heavily on electronic equipment.<br>
<br>
In this talk, various examples of actual IEMI events (against
civilian infrastructure) will be addressed. Additionally, lab
tests tests to secure use of vital equipment will be detailed,
both for conducted and emitted signals, before the fundamentals of
protective measures will be discussed.<br>
<br>
The focus of the presentation is on increasing the awareness of
technical personnel responsible for the digital infrastructure and
will include detailed discussions of the technical facts involved.

<p><b>Short bio: </b><br>
After graduating, Lars Ole Fichte worked for 5 years as an
Electronic Warfare specialist for the German military. He finished
his PhD thesis on hybrid analytical/numerical methods for eddy
current problems in 2007 and has been working has a senior
scientist at Helmut-Schmidt University Hamburg since. His research
interest include (but are not limited to)<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li> precise measurement of electromagnetic fields in EMC test
setups, primarily electromagnetic reverberation chambers,</li>
<li> statistical investigations on EMC field tests,</li>
<li> Intentional Electronic Interference and protective
measures,</li>
<li> interaction of RF range fields with biological tissue.</li>
</ul>
<p>He is the Chairman of German URSI commission K, member of the
international URSI Commission K technical advisory board, and
works with various standardization committee, such as IEC SC77C.<br>
