The european project STRUCTURES: Challenges and results

Abstract

Abstract-The project STRUCTURES, funded by the European Union, started in July 2012 to study problems related to the emerging threats of electromagnetic attacks to critical infrastructures. Partners of the team have worked to list possible threats, identify the main characteristics of the critical infrastructures our way of living depends on, test current protection strategies with different simulation and measurement techniques, and condensate the results in guidelines accessible to an audience wider than the one of people working in the field. Here, we summarize the challenges, the solutions, and the results of almost three years of work.

Electromagnetic Immunity of Mobile Devices - Statistical Analysis

“…In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the threat posed by high power microwaves (HPM) attacks against the operation of important electronic systems of critical infrastructure [1]- [3]. Several studies have presented the results of investigations focused on susceptibility of electronic components, devices and systems to intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) [4]- [10].…”

Vulnerability analysis of the wireless infrastructure to intentional electromagnetic interference

“…The threat analysis is based on an extensive literature study. Parts of this study are published in the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Magazine [44] and presented at the IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility in 2014 and 2015 [45,51].…”

“…The research presented in this thesis was conducted as a part of the STRUCTURES project. A general overview of this project is presented in [44] and [45]. The starting date of the STRUCTURES project was 1 July 2012, and it ended at 30 October 2015.…”
