Discussion - "Where does EMC affect cyber security and where does cyber security affect EMC" The worlds of EMC and cybersecurity are likely to overlap, for example in the Smart Grid. Optional tour of the Cyber security facilities at DMU 17:00 Finish Information available on afternoon talks and speakers: Partial Inductance. Alistair Duffy, De Montfort University A common phrase used in EMC, whether design, analysis or faultfinding, is 'look for the current'. As current follow the path of least impedance. Part of understanding that 'path of least impedance' is to understand partial inductance. This talk provides a tutorial overview of partial inductance. Alistair Duffy is a Reader in Electromagnetics at De Montfort University. He is a member of the EMC Society Board of Directors, a past Distinguished Lecturer and is a contributor to a number of standards activities. Use of Near-field Measurements to Characterize the Emissions from Unintentional Radiators. Chijoke Obiekezie, George Green Institute of Electromagnetics Research at the University of Nottingham. It is very important in EMC to characterize the unwanted emissions from electrical and electronic circuits. Due to the complexity of many printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is not easily achieved through full wave simulation. Also confidentiality issues with respect to the actual circuit designs come into play. Therefore, direct field measurements of these unintentional radiator have become a reliable way of characterizing the radiators. These are predominantly done at the far-field but can be very expensive to set up. A near-field measurement technique which is achieved through near-field scanning have proven to be sufficient in extracting all information needed to model the exact electromagnetic (EM) characteristic of any radiator. The EM information obtained can be used to create simple dipole models for predicting the fields in other environment. This approach has been successfully demonstrated for simple PCBs but many challenges remain, such as full 3D characterisation. This talk will outline current work in this area. Chijioke Obiekezie is presently in the 2nd year of his PhD in Electrical Systems and Optics group at the University of Nottingham. Project: The present work involves characterizing the full emissions from unintentional radiators (e.g. 3D PCBs) using the information obtained through Near-field measurements. Project Team: Chijioke Obiekezie, Dr Dave Thomas( Supervisor), Dr Angela Nothofer and Dr Steve Greedy all with the George Green Institute of Electromagnetics Research at the University of Nottingham. Cyber security and cyber security policy in the UK. Dr Tim Watson, Head of the Department of Computer Technology and Head of the Cyber Security Centre, De Montfort University The increasing integration of communications and computer technology with electronic systems is resulting in more security issues than ever before. This, coupled with the increasing sophistication of criminals and terrorists, makes cyber security a high priority for businesses and governments. The development of technologies for Smart Grid, for example, brings cyber security and EMC/SI into the same domain. This talk presents some background to cyber security, illustrates some of the current key issues and introduces the UK Government's policy on Cyber Security. Dr Tim Watson is the Director of the Cyber Security Centre at De Montfort University. With more than twenty years' experience in the computing industry and in academia, he has been involved with a wide range of computer systems on several high-profile projects and has acted as a consultant for some of the largest telecoms, power and oil companies. Tim is a regular media commentator on computer forensics and security. Some aspects of information systems security you might not be aware of . Nick Edwards, Independent security consultant The worlds of EMC and cyber security are increasingly overlapping and cyber security is one manifestation of information security. This talk relates the broader EMC issues of EMI/HIRF/TEMPEST to information security covering the input to threat/risk assessment. Examples will be used of how Secret and Confidential intelligence has been shared in the past (and of learning from "intelligence failures"). Nick Edwards worked in intelligence and security for nearly 50 years. Following service in RAF as a Signals Intelligence (Sigint) operator/analyst he joined GCHQ, Cheltenham in 1968. A number of intelligence assignments followed including 3 years in Australia, 3 years as a Civilian Adviser to the Military in Cyprus and as a Senior Duty Officer at Cheltenham. In 1987 he joined Communications Electronics Security Group where he was Head of the "Threat" Section for nearly 4 years. His last post at CESG was as Director UK Industrial TEMPEST Scheme which involved close liaison with the UK Infosec industry. Since leaving CESG in 1996 he has worked for Cogent/Nortel, a dot com company, a US technology company, Hyder Consulting (an infrastructure design company), and as an independent consultant. From 2005 -2008 most of his work involved giving security advice to large Joint Venture projects in the Middle East and advising CNI customers in UK. In the past he has served on the BCS Security Committee, the Information Assurance Advisory Council Management Committee and as Chair of the CMA Fraud and Security SIG. Nick remains an active member of the IAAC Academic Liaison Panel. Discussion: colliding worlds of cyber security and EMC With the importance of information security issues increasing and many of those issues having the same root as EMC issues, how and where are the two worlds colliding? What issues are common to both for the development of technologies such as Smart Grid? How does an understanding of EMC/EMI issues help in planning cyber security for events such as the 2012 Olympics? This discussion looks to explore these, and other related issues. Tour of the Cyber security facilities at DMU. DMU has probably the best cyber range in the UK. This optional tour will show the labs and explain how they are used and contribute to undergraduate, postgraduate, research and professional activities. The tour will include a 'hacking' demonstration as well as demonstration of the cyber range. Numbers for this may need to be limited, so please indicate if you would like to see the demonstrations and facilities prior to the meeting date if possible. The event is an open meeting, with all welcome. There is no charge for attendance. If you plan to attend you need to register by informing: Roy Ediss Email; [email protected] For registration you will need to provide: Name, Company, (if applicable), Book early for the afternoon meeting to avoid disappointment.
