A LITERATURE SURVEY ON ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDINGIJEEE
EMI (electromagnetic interference) is the disruption of operation of an electronic device when it is in the vicinity of an electromagnetic field (EM field) in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum that is caused by another electronic device. It is a disturbance that affects an electrical circuit due to either electromagnetic induction or electromagnetic radiation emitted from an external source. The disturbance may interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of the circuit. Here we study about the shielding theory so as to reduce the effects of EMI.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Abstract: This paper presents a radio-frequency (RF) evanescent-mode cavity resonator for passive wireless
sensor applications. The evanescent-mode resonator is composed of a cavity with a center post. The resonant
frequency of the resonator is determined by the dimension of the cavity, the gap between top membrane
electrode of the cavity, and the center post.
I. INTRODUCTION
Printed circuit-board design has become quite complicated these days. one reason for this phenomenon
is the increase in availability of commercial applications, many of which are wireless in nature. such
applications have increased clock and processor speeds, and therefore emit higher frequencies. unfortunately,
the higher frequencies often lead to a number of critical challenges for the designer– not the least of which is
reducing and eliminating cavity resonance. commercial applications like consumer electronics, notebook
computers, wireless lan devices, network servers and switches, wireless antenna systems, and cellular base
stations are especially vulnerable to this problem. microwave absorbing materials now provide designers with a
viable method of eliminating both simple and complex cavity resonances. microwave materials offer a proven
method for reducing or eliminating resonance. both magnetically and dielectrically loaded materials can be
used. microwave cavities have certain resonant frequencies that oscillate. microwave-absorbing materials are a
demonstrated, viable method for eliminating both simple and complex cavity resonances. the energy can be
attenuated when lossy magnetic or dielectric materials are introduced into the cavity. however, less-expensive
dielectrically loaded foam materials despite their thickness and conductivity, can also help safeguard circuit
boards. either approach can eliminate cavity resonances.
II. HEADING S
Inside a material matrix. The filler consists of one or more constituents that do most of the absorbing.
The matrix material is chosen for its physical properties (temperature resistance, weatherability, etc.). Absorbers
are characterized by their electric permittivity and magnetic permeability. The permittivity is a measure of the
material‟s effect on the electric field in the electromagnetic wave and the permeability is a measure of the
material‟s effect on the magnetic component of the wave. The permittivity is complex and is generally written
as
ε * =ε '− jε "
A B S O R B E R T Y P E S:
Free space: Free space absorbers come in two broad types, reflectivity absorbers and insertion loss
absorbers. Reflectivity absorbers reduce the reflection level compared to a perfect reflector (metal plate).
Insertion loss absorbers reduce the signal travelling from point A to point B
Reflectivity-narrowband: Any single layer homogeneous material will resonate when its thickness is equal to ¼
wavelength. A useful visualization is that the incoming wave will be partially reflected by the front surface of
the material while part is transmitted. This transmitted wave then propagates through to the back of the absorber
where it undergoes total reflection and propagates back through the front face of the absorber.
Absorber Forms:
2. Reduction of Cavity Resonance In Wireless Applications
International organization of Scientific Research 52 | P a g e
MAGNETIC ABSORBERS: These are thin (.1 to 3 mm) polymeric materials filled with magnetic
particles. These materials have both high permeability (magnetic loss properties) and high permittivity
(dielectric loss properties). This combination of properties makes these materials very effective in eliminating
high frequency EMI. Laird Technologies has two product types that are used for commercial applications:
Q-Zorb HP (high permeability) uses novel magnetic fillers to achieve extremely high permeabilities at low
frequencies. This allows for relatively thin materials to provide EMI reduction at frequencies below 2 GHz. This
material comes in thicknesses of .15 mm and .5 mm.
Q-Zorb HF (high frequency) is the optimum choice for cavity resonance problems from 2-18 GHz and higher.
The material is available in thicknesses from .5mm to 3.2 mm and is supplied in sheets or as die cut
components. Both materials are UL-VO and ROHS compliant. They can be supplied with pressure sensitive
adhesive (PSA) for ease of installation.
Dielectric– Dielectric absorbers have no magnetic properties (i.e. μ=1). The loss mechanism is
purely dielectric. The loss can arise from a variety of sources within the dielectric. Dielectric absorbers
are usually made in a low cost foam form but can also be used with elastomers. Advantages are low
cost and weight. Disadvantages are higher conductivity preventing usage in contact with electronic
equipment and their lack of performance in most cavity resonance applications due to their lack of
magnetic absorption.
Moldable: Both magnetic and dielectric absorbers are available in moldable forms. This could be a
two part liquid which cures at room or elevated temperatures or could be in the form of injection moldable
pellets.
The Microwave Absorber:
Preventative solutions for cavity resonance problems do exist, such as the use of standard shielding
materials like finger stock, fabric-over-foam and board-level shields. While these solutions offer some safeguard
against cavity resonance, they tend to become less effective as frequencies increase. Even worse, some of the
more traditional shielding solutions (e.g., finger stock and conductive elastomers) can actually contribute to the
resonance problem by providing a conductive path for energy, which in turn contains the energy inside the
cavity. This contained energy can adversely affect other components on the board and may keep the board from
functioning properly.
Even when circuit board designers are confronted with the likelihood of a cavity resonance problem in
their design, they are often too time-constrained to take appropriate action. They simply don‟t have the time
required to go through the complex resonance modeling exercise necessary to select a viable material for their
cavity.
For those designers who can no longer afford to approach the issue of cavity resonance with a passive attitude,
an alternative solution is now available - use of microwave absorbers (blocks of materials which absorb
microwave energy) applied directly to the cover of the microwave module. As opposed to having to re-engineer
a circuit board cover or relocate circuit elements, the simple addition of the microwave absorber to the cavity
provides an inexpensive, quick and proven way to dampen and even eliminate cavity resonance
In general, the most effective absorbers (e.g., silicone rubber sheets) for cavity resonance dampening
are magnetically loaded with iron or ferrites and are characterized by high permittivity and permeability plus a
high magnetic loss. Material thickness is another important parameter, as the effectiveness of the resonance
dampening is directly proportional to the thickness. The material‟s effectiveness is also directly proportional to
the frequency. Some materials will work better, for example, in the lower microwave range, while others will
work better at the higher microwave and millimeter-wave range.
Thinner material is often used at higher frequencies. In fact, magnetic material at a thickness of around 0.040
inch has proven to be effective for use in the lower microwave range (up to 10 GHz), while 0.020 inch to 0.030
3. Reduction of Cavity Resonance In Wireless Applications

inch materials have been effective in the upper microwave range. In addition, 0.010-inch thick absorber
materials are effective for the millimeter-wave bands.
Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products Value Proposition
Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products is a world leader in the development and manufacture of microwave
absorbing materials. As a company strongly committed to addressing the complex issue of cavity resonance, it
now offers a range of microwave absorber solutions - including foam and silicone rubber sheets - which are
suitable for use in wireless and other high-frequency applications. These solutions include:
Foam Dielectric Absorbers
Foam absorbers are the least expensive of all microwave absorber materials available on the market today and
are often used in base stations. They are conductive and come no thinner than 1/8 inch, but if the circuit design
can accommodate that material thickness and out-gassing is not an issue, then foam is often the ideal solution
for eliminating cavity resonance.
ECCOSORB® LS – High Loss , Flexible, Foam Microwave Absorber
The ECCOSORB® LS absorber from Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products is the company‟s most widely
known, used and recommended urethane foam sheet product. It features high loss, low density, is very flexible,
and can be easily cut with a knife, scissors or die. A carbon loading system makes it electrically conducive.
While it is not weatherproof, it can be treated with an optional weather-resistant CERSEAL coating. Compared
to thinner, more expensive rubber absorbers, ECCOSORB® LS is a very low cost solution which is useful in
lowering cavity Q‟s (high quality factors) in RF amplifiers, oscillators, cabinets containing microwave devices,
computer housings, and low-noise blocks (LNBs).
Silicone Rubber Sheets
Silicone rubber sheets are typically used for higher temperature applications where a non-conductive, high
reliability, thin absorber (as thin as 0.010 inches) is required. Because of these characteristics, the military and
aerospace industries commonly design in these absorbers for applications where out-gassing is also a concern.
ECCOSORB® BSR – High-Loss, Ultra-Thin, Elastomeric Absorber
This family of thin (0.25 to 2.54 mm) and flexible, high-loss absorbers is comprised of two types of electrically
non-conductive silicone rubber sheets. ECCOSORB® BSR-1 and ECCOSORB® BSR-2 have a typical
frequency range that will cover from 5 GHz well into the mm wave range and can be easily cut with a knife or
scissors, and fitted to compound curves. Low out-gassing properties make the ECCOSORB® BSR family
suitable for space applications. They have been specifically engineered for use in applications requiring the
reduction or elimination of cavity resonance.
ECCOSORB® GDS – High-Loss Silicone Rubber Sheet
ECCOSORB® GDS is a thin, flexible, electrically non-conductive silicone rubber sheet with a typical
frequency range of 6 GHz up to 35 GHz . Designed to be impervious to moisture and to not support fungal
growth as per MIL-STD-810E, these absorbers can be cut and fitted to compound curves. Low out-gassing
properties make ECCOSORB® GDS suitable for space applications. When bonded to a metal surface, the
absorbers dampen cavity resonances in microwave modules.
.
ECCOSORB® MCS – Thin, Flexible Broadband Absorber
This thin, flexible, high-loss, magnetically-loaded, electrically non-conductive silicone rubber sheet has a
frequency range from 800 MHz to 18 GHz (see Figure 4). ECCOSORB® MCS was designed to function
continuously at a service temperature of 350°F, with short term exposure to higher temperatures, and is
impervious to moisture. It can even be subjected to outdoor environments and high altitudes, including space,
4. Reduction of Cavity Resonance In Wireless Applications

with no adverse effects. Its low out-gassing properties make it suitable for use in space applications.
ECCOSORB® MCS can be cut and fitted to compound curves and is ideal for use in reducing cavity resonances
in microwave modules.
Complementing the leading features and functionality of these microwave absorber materials is the unique value
proposition offered by Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products. The company:
Has a long history of excellence and expertise in making components for the military. It was founded in
1948 with this goal in mind.
Offers the benefits associated with the infrastructure of a large company (e.g. R&D facilities etc…), but
with the personal customer service and responsiveness of a small company.
Was the first to become ISO certified (ISO 9001:2000) and to use automation in manufacturing. This
automation increases yields up to 95-100%, ensures electrical consistency and enables the company to run
upwards of 20,000 square feet of foam per day.
Offers global manufacturing via facilities in Randolph, Massachusetts and Westerlo, Belgium with sales
offices ad agents worldwide.
Has state-of-the-art R&D facilities capable of rapid design and development with quick prototype
turnaround and short production lead times.
Cavity Resonance Reduction: Often after a circuit is designed and tested it must be properly shielded and
physically protected before it can be put into use. This usually involves covering the entire circuit with a
metallic cover. While providing adequate shielding and protection the cover can introduce problems of its own.
It can create conductive cavities that will resonate if stimulated at one of its resonant frequencies. This cavity
resonance introduces E and H fields across the cavity that can seriously impact the circuit performance. The
correct absorber material when introduced to the cavity can damp the resonance, enabling proper operation of
the circuit. In a rectangular cavity the resonant frequencies are given by Where m, n, and p are indices indicating
the number of half wavelengths across the x, y, and z dimensions of the cavity respectively. The cavity will
resonate at frequencies determined by the cavity dimensions. The dominant resonant mode is similar to the
TE01 waveguide mode but chosen with the first zero of sin(βz). This mode is designated the TE011 mode. The
TE011 mode is the lowest frequency at which the cavity can support a cavity resonance. Below this frequency, a
cavity resonance will not exist. For an empty cavity, the cutoff frequency corresponds to where the longest
dimension of the cavity is equal to 1/2 free space wavelength. The equations governing the field distribution of
the TE011 mode are as follows
A B S O RB E R A P P L I C A T I ON S:
1.Millimeter wave absorbers: Different modes of analysis and absorber types are needed in the
RF/microwave band depending upon whether the absorber is used in free space or inside an enclosed cavity.
Absorbers for free space reflectivity or insertion loss use a different design philosophy than for cavity resonance
reduction. Most applications in the RF/microwave realm are clearly one or the other. The physics will change
somewhat as we move into millimeter waves. Even a physically small cavity or enclosure could encompass
several wavelengths at millimeter wave frequencies. Where is the line dividing a free space application from a
cavity application? Since there is no hard boundary separating free space from cavity resonance,
electromagnetic modeling must be used. Modeling of the field distribution inside cavities of different
5. Reduction of Cavity Resonance In Wireless Applications

dimensions compared to a wavelength indicate a breakdown of cavity resonance behavior at a cavity size around
5 wavelengths. At millimeter wave frequencies this could be smaller than 1”. This quasifree space region
requires different absorber solutions, requiring different absorber types than those used at lower frequencies
2.Reflection Reduction:Any system that transmits energy can experience interference from reflections back to
the transmitter. Also, unwanted reflections can interfere with other systems. Often the reflection source can not
be moved as with a building or a ship‟s mast. Absorbers can then be used to reduce the reflection level. Typical
reflectivity reduction for weather resistant outdoor absorber material is –20dB which will eliminate 99% of the
reflection. Care must be taken that the chosen absorber is designed to absorb at the transmit frequency.
Radar Cross Section reduction (RCSR): Absorbers can also be used to reduce the radar cross section of a target
object. By reducing the reflection level the object will present a smaller cross section. However, due to the
narrowbanded performance of thin radar absorbent material (RAM) and the thickness and weight of broadband
RAM, it is difficult to achieve effective radar cross section reduction using absorber alone.
A B S O R B E R T E S T ME T H OD S:
1.Attenuation: It is a measure of how much a wave propagating through a material is attenuated. It is
not a direct measurement but is calculated from the material‟s complex permittivity and permeability. The
definition is that if all space is filled with the material, a wave will attenuate at this rate per unit distance.
Attenuation is usually expressed in dB/cm. Attenuation values do not relate directly to any particular
measurement and the reader should be cautioned about using the numbers to predict reflectivity. It is used to
compare the relative absorption of different materials. In any real world situation, the material impedance must
also be taken into account.
2. NRL Arch: The NRL Arch is the industry standard for testing the reflectivity of materials. Originally
designed at the Naval Research Laboratory, the NRL Arch allows for quick, repeatable non-destructive testing
of microwave absorbent materials over a wide frequency range. Reflectivity is defined as the reduction in
reflected power caused by the introduction of an absorbent material. This reduction in power is compared to a
„perfect‟ reflection which is approximated very well by the reflection off a flat metallic plate. As seen in the
diagram below, an NRL arch consists of a transmit and receive antenna which are oriented towards a metal
plate. To measure normal incidence reflectivity the antennas are located as close to each other as physically
possible. Absorbent material is often used to minimize antenna cross talk. The antennas can be located
anywhere on the arch to allow measurements of performance at off normal angles of incidence with the practical
limitation of the ability to separate the signal from the material under test from the direct antenna to antenna
cross talk. In general a network analyzer is used for measurements on an NRL Arch to provide both the stimulus
and the measurement. A calibration is performed by measuring the resultant power reflecting off the metal plate
over a broad frequency range. This is established as the „perfect‟ reflection or 0 dB level. The material under test
is then placed on the plate and the reflected signal measured in dB. Time domain gating may be used to
eliminate antenna cross talk and reduce the error introduced by room reflections.
