Challenge of Attribution of Malicious Cyber Actors amidst growing Cyber attacks and Cyberwarfare
Cyber warfare refers to the use of technology to launch attacks on nations, governments and citizens, causing comparable harm to actual warfare using weaponry. Cyberwarfare has developed into a more sophisticated type of combat between countries, where you can destroy critical infrastructure such as power, telecommunications or banking by damaging …

Phased radio frequency (RF) arrays use numerous small antennas to steer RF beams without mechanical movement. Phased array antennas are a type of antenna array that comes with the feature of electronic steering to change the direction and shape of radiated signals, without any physical movement of the antenna. The phase …
