Curved Radio Beams Can Defeat Anti-Jamming Systems

🟡 Medium | Source: The Register — Security Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated that curving radio beams can defeat anti-jamming systems by making it difficult to pinpoint the true origin of a jamming signal. Traditional anti-jamming defences rely on locating and neutralising the source of interference, but bent beams confound that localisation process. This has significant implications for secure wireless communications, including satellite links and GPS systems that underpin cloud and critical infrastructure connectivity. ...

Curved Radio Beams Can Defeat Anti-Jamming Systems

🟡 Medium | Source: The Register — Security Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated that curving or bending radio beams can defeat anti-jamming systems that rely on locating the source of interference. Because the signal no longer travels in a straight line, direction-finding techniques used to identify and counter jammers become ineffective. This has implications for any wireless communication infrastructure, including those supporting cloud-connected IoT, satellite links, and enterprise wireless networks. ...
