Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00462, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Wight, James (Carleton University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and it is becoming increasingly challenging to ensure the safety of data_x000D_
transmitted through mediums such as cell phones, emails, and other modes of communication from offices and boardrooms that_x000D_
deal with sensitive business transactions. No enclosure such as a boardroom is safe from penetration through the use of_x000D_
sophisticated devices. Intelligent security measures and policies have now been implemented to mitigate such intrusions._x000D_
However, the security of boardrooms in highly secure buildings is not immune from electromagnetic leakage. This project will_x000D_
address how this leakage can be stopped or drastically attenuated. Certain rooms require very low electromagnetic leakage to_x000D_
prevent Radio frequency (RF) signals generated within a room from radiating outside and being received by unauthorized persons._x000D_
An example of this is a secured boardroom, where unintentionally radiated signals from computers within the room must not be_x000D_
transmitted outside the room. Analogously, some rooms such as the ones housing medical equipment must be isolated from the_x000D_
background emissions from everyday wireless signals._x000D_
This project will focus on attenuating electromagnetic leakage through a metal door and its door frame. Methods for combating_x000D_
point leakage sources will be investigated. Specifically, electromagnetic leakage will be looked at as a current conduit connecting_x000D_
a doors exterior that acts as a transmitting antenna, to the inside of the door acting as a receiving antenna. Wide band_x000D_
approaches will be conceived, simulated using 3D EM simulation tools, proto-typed, and measured._x000D_
