Presentation Title Hacking a Bird in the Sky: The Revenge of Angry Birds
Presentation Abstract
Since the mid 1950s, satellite systems have made enormous advances in capability and performance. Satellite communication services have become integral to our society. Unfortunately, security has not kept pace where the current systems are vulnerable to a variety of attacks. This is the latest update of Hacking a Bird in the Sky series and will discuss about important security issues on ATM (Automated Teller Machine) and private banking networks using satellite networks (based on real-life cases in Indonesia), also the possible evasion techniques for channel estimation and single stage multiuser detector for asynchronous satellite communications for detecting rogue users will be presented.
Note: Presenting with Raoul Chiesa
