CDMA uses direct sequence spread spectrum technology where each user is assigned a unique pseudorandom noise (PN) code and spreads their data signal using this code. Users transmit simultaneously over the same frequency band and are separated by their unique PN codes. CDMA capacity depends on factors like processing gain, signal-to-noise ratio, and voice activity. The network architecture includes mobile stations, base stations, base station controllers, mobile switching centers, and various registers for authentication, location, and equipment identification. Spread spectrum techniques like CDMA and FHSS provide advantages such as reduced interference, better quality voice/data, security, and resistance to jamming.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Introduction of Spread
Spectrum Communications
• Spread Spectrum is a means of transmission in which
the data sequence occupies a bandwidth in excess of the
minimum bandwidth necessary to send it.
Effectively the signal is mapped to a higher dimension signal
space
• Signal spreading is done before transmission by using a
spreading sequence. The same sequence is used at the
receiver to retrieve the signal
• Spread Spectrum is most effective against interference
(intentional or non-intentional) with fixed energy.
• Main commercial applications in wireless and GPS.
16. r
NEED FOR SPREAD SPECTRUM
• SECURITY
• Safeguards for
physical security must be
even greater in wireless
communications
• Encryption: intercepted
communications must not
be easily interpreted
• Authentication: is the
17. BLOCK DIGRAM SPREAD
SPECTRUM COMMUNICATION
Spread-spectrum radio communications is a favorite technology of the
military because it resists jamming and is hard for an enemy to intercept, Just
as they are unlikely to be intercepted by a military opponent
18. How Spread Spectrum Works
• Spread Spectrum uses wide band, noise-like signals. Because
Spread Spectrum signals are noise-like, they are hard to detect.
• Spread Spectrum signals are also hard to Intercept
or demodulate.
• Further, Spread Spectrum signals are harder to jam
(interfere with) than narrowband signals.
• These Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) and anti-jam
(AJ) features are why the military has used Spread Spectrum
for so many years.
.
19. PN Sequences
• PN generator produces periodic sequence that appears to
be random
• PN Sequences
▫ Generated by an algorithm using initialseed
▫ Sequence isn’t statistically random but will pass many test
of randomness
▫ Sequences referred to as pseudorandom numbers or
pseudonoise sequences
▫ Unless algorithm and seed are known, the sequence is impractical
to predict
21. Spreading Codes
• A noise-like and random signal has to be
generated at the transmitter.
• The same signal must be generated at the receiver
in synchronization.
• We limit the complexity by specifying only one bit
per sample, i.e., a binary sequence.

22. • Spread Spectrum signals use fast codes that
run many times the information bandwidth or
data rate.
These special "Spreading" codes are
called "Pseudo Random" or "Pseudo Noise"
codes. They are called "Pseudo" because they
are not real Gaussian noise.
23. Why Spread Spectrum?
• Spread spectrum signals are distributed over
a wide range of frequencies and then
collected back at the receiver
▫ These wideband signals are noise-like and
hence difficult to detect or interfere with.
• Initially adopted in military applications, for
its resistance to jamming and difficulty
of interception
• More recently, adopted in commercial
wireless communications
24. SIGNIFICANCE
• Immunity to jamming
• Low interference
• High processing gain
• Easy encryption
• Multiple access
26. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
(FHSS)
• Data signal is modulated with a narrowband
signal that hops from frequency band to
frequency band, over time
• The transmission frequencies are determined by
a spreading, or hopping code (a pseudo-random
sequence)

and WirelessLANs

29. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
• Data signal is multiplied by a spreading code,
and resulting signal occupies a much higher
frequency band
• Spreading code is a pseudo-random sequence

33. Conclusion
Spread spectrum promises several benefits such as
higher capacity and ability to resist multipath propagation.
Spread spectrum signals are difficult to intercept for an
unauthorized person, they are easily hidden. For an
unauthorized person, it is difficult to even detect their presence
in many cases. They are resistant to jamming. They provide a
measure of immunity to distortion due to multipath
