RESEARCH PARTNERS
OUR RESEARCH AREAS
Cellular Network Security
Our team includes leading research on cellular networks, who conduct comprehensive analysis of their architecture and operational protocols. We are researching secure network key exchanges, accelerated deployment of critical patches, and advanced protection against malicious signaling.
Device & Subscriber Anonymity
Cape has run proofs of concept for location masking technology that addresses radio wave-based direction finding. We are also studying the use of blinded tokens and zero-knowledge proofs to disaggregate subscriber information.
Mobile Network Resilience
We are researching and testing alternatives that provide redundancy to traditional cell towers. This includes device-to-device mesh networks, 5G non-terrestrial networks, and other unconventional mobile communication systems.
Emerging Tech & Threat Analysis
As the telecommunications system evolves with the adoption of innovative technologies such as non-terrestrial networks, Sidelink, and Open Radio Access Networks, our team is at the forefront of identifying and analyzing novel vulnerabilities that accompany these advancements.
