Failure modes of digital radios: World radio spectrum domination through silicon control

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 4, 2017, 7:20 p.m. (30 minutes).

All consumer electronics have integrated digital radios. Many with standardized specifications like WiFi, 3G/4G modems, but closed source radio base-bands with a mix of dedicated, power-efficient hardware-and software. Proprietary extensions can be implemented, patented and used to prevent others from gaining market share. Some examples will be presented. #Sharing #NetworkSecurity Solution is to provide many debugging options to analyse the behaviour of a radio, and document the extension of interoperability issue
