Gmr-23 Jamming Signal Detection Using Extreme Gradient Boosting (Xgboost) Algorithm, Keerthana Adamana, Christian K Sao Apr 2024

Gmr-23 Jamming Signal Detection Using Extreme Gradient Boosting (Xgboost) Algorithm, Keerthana Adamana, Christian K Sao

C-Day Computing Showcase

Radar jamming involves sending intentionally disruptive radio waves toward the target radar, which might over-saturate its receiver so it can’t receive anything or deceive it into interpreting false information. Machine learning (ML) techniques increased the capability to automatically learn the experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning models usually require a large, labeled sample to perform. Building a robust jamming detection model will be challenging due to the wide variability of jamming signals and less available labeled samples. In this project, we developed an eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) algorithms for radar jamming signal classification and achieved superior performance compared with Random …

Gpr-13 Effect Of Noise And Topologies On Multi-Photon Quantum Protocols, Nitin Jha Apr 2024

Gpr-13 Effect Of Noise And Topologies On Multi-Photon Quantum Protocols, Nitin Jha

C-Day Computing Showcase

Quantum-augmented networks aim to use quantum phenomena to improve detection and protection against malicious actors in a classical communication network. This may include multiplexing quantum signals into classical fiber optical channels and incorporating purely quantum links alongside classical links in the network. In such hybrid networks, quantum protocols based on single photons become a bottleneck for transmission distances and data speeds, thereby reducing entire network performance. Furthermore, many of the security assumptions of the single-photon protocols do not hold up in practice because of the impossibility of manufacturing single-photon emitters. Multi-photon quantum protocols, on the other hand, are designed to …
