Title: From sniffing signals to manipulating reality: Air Interface Security in 5G and ISAC

Abstract: What happens when wireless signals no longer just carry data, but actively sense and describe the physical world? With the advent of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), 5G and beyond networks become pervasive, large-scale instruments for observing reality itself. This raises a fundamental question: how can we safeguard the integrity of the physical environment inferred from wireless signals? This talk focuses on the emerging threat surface introduced by ISAC, spanning not only privacy but also security concerns. On the privacy side, residual risks such as physical-layer leakage, traffic inference, and 5G NR sniffing highlight how information can still be exposed despite advanced protections. Even more critically, ISAC enables a new class of attacks where adversaries can actively manipulate sensing signals to inject, move, or conceal objects, effectively altering the aimed perceived reality.

Bio: Giuseppe Bianchi is Full Professor of Networking and Network Security at the University of Rome Tor Vergata since 2007. He is the founder and director of the CNIT National Laboratory of Network Assurance and Monitoring (NAMlab). He has authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications with more than 25,000 citations, and is internationally recognized for fundamental contributions to wireless system performance evaluation, including the ACM SIGMOBILE Test of Time Award. He has coordinated or technically led 6 large EU projects, as well as several additional European and national initiatives. He holds more than 10 patents in security, programmable networks, and wireless systems, and has served as chair/editor for leading IEEE/ACM venues.

Bio: Serge Fdida is a Professor with Sorbonne Université, Paris, France. His research interests are related to the future networked systems, technology and architecture (internet, 6G, …). He has been coordinating 11 research projects in Europe, notably pioneering the activity on federated Internet testbeds (he established PlanetLab Europe in 2007). Serge Fdida is a member of the French Academy of Engineering, an IEEE Fellow and an ACM Sigcomm Distinguished Scientist. Serge Fdida also developed a strong experience related to innovation and industry transfer: co-founder of the Qosmos and Hopcast companies, leadership role to the creation of the Cap Digital cluster in Paris, President of EIT Health France and coordinator of the 4EU+ European University.  He steered the successful SLICES initiative, the first large-scale scientific instrument in Digital Sciences, that entered the ESFRI roadmap in 2021. He also developed a strong experience in the Policy of higher research and education organizations: Adviser ITC Department CNRS (2000-2005); Vice-President European affairs University P&M Curie (2014-2018); Vice-President International Development of Sorbonne Université (2018-2021).
