Vijay Shah, Assistant Professor, Cybersecurity Engineering, received funding for the project: "Fingerprinting Technology for Enhancing 5G/NextG O-RAN Supply Chain Risk Management."
In this project, Shah is focusing on distinctive power signatures and electromagnetic emanations to fortify supply chain risk management of 5G/Next G networks.
This technology has the potential to create a robust framework for comprehensive validation and testing across the entire lifespan of deployed Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) systems. This, in turn, could increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness in supply chain risk management.
Shah received $49,993 from the Virginia Innovation Partnership Authority for this project. Funding began in Jan. 2024 and will end in Jan. 2025.
