Dr. Jyrki T. J. Penttinen's paper explores the feasibility of using UAVs for 5G connectivity in IoT and eMBB applications, addressing gaps in current research on UAV-assisted networking. The study proposes a Non-Public Network architecture for aerial use, evaluating a standalone model ideal for quick deployments. The design features a minimal viable 5G SNPN hosted on a single UAV, supporting extensions to multi-UAV swarms for mesh RAN. Performance analysis using ITU-R propagation models shows trade-offs in frequency selection for coverage and capacity in aerial eMBB, while IoT scenarios demonstrate better coverage with narrowband and low SNR tolerances. The study concludes that COTS-based UAV-5G systems are cost-effective and viable, with potential applications in disaster response and remote IoT monitoring as 5G adoption grows.

Effective Defense Against Hacks at the Edge

To effectively defend against hacks at the edge in IoT systems, a multi-dimensional post-quantum approach is necessary, including secure boot, secure TLS, and protection against physical attacks through side-channels. PQShield has introduced MicroCore IP to address IoT security challenges with minimal resources, offering PQC in under 5KB of SRAM. Post-quantum cryptography is crucial as quantum computers could potentially break classical encryption within the next 10 years, posing challenges for long-term product security. Additionally, ensuring secure communication through TLS and defending against side-channel attacks are essential for protecting edge devices in industrial IoT applications. PQShield provides solutions for seamless migration to PQC secure systems and defense against side-channel attacks.

What’s in a name? Moderna’s “vaccine” vs. “therapy” dilemma

Moderna is facing a dilemma over whether to call its cancer treatment a "vaccine" or a "therapy" to distance itself from vaccine skepticism. The company's mRNA technology is being used in partnership with Merck to develop individualized neoantigen therapy for cancer treatment. Despite the promising results, some are concerned that patients may be misled by the terminology change. Moderna's strategy to rebrand its cancer treatment may be a response to government scrutiny over its mRNA vaccines. The debate over terminology reflects the broader challenges in navigating public perception and regulatory hurdles in the biotech industry.
