Frontline Connectivity: The Strategic Role of Polish Telcos in the Face of the War in UkraineThis presentation explores the critical role of Polish telecommunications operators as a strategic hub supporting Ukraine and Poland's national security during an active armed conflict. I will discuss the practical aspects of cooperating with special forces to counter sabotage, as well as the challenges posed by Russian drone incursions and hybrid warfare. The session will also highlight lessons learned from Ukrainian blackouts, which are driving the development of critical infrastructure resilience on an unprecedented scale. Finally, I will demonstrate the evolution of the telco sector as it transforms into a military-grade asset while maintaining essential connectivity for millions of people. |

On Identity Exposure and Passive Signal Inference in 5G NetworksThe talk explores emerging identity disclosure mechanisms that preserve established security contexts and avoid observable service disruption, alongside advanced approaches for passive analysis of the 5G New Radio air interface. By leveraging structural properties of control and reference signals, these techniques enable efficient over-the-air observation with potential implications for user traceability, localization, and contextual privacy. |
