An important moment of the event was the presentation "Opportunities for acoustic signal detection using optical cables", which included a live demonstration of an optical fibre microphone developed by the team of doc. Peter Münster and doc. Tomáš Horvath. This unique system, capable of detecting even extremely weak acoustic signals via conventional optical infrastructure, aroused great interest among experts. Thanks to its high sensitivity and inconspicuous installation, it is an innovative tool for cyber security, especially in the field of eavesdropping protection. The presentation received exceptional recognition and was evaluated by the organizers as "The best presentation".
"Our microphone represents a technological breakthrough in the field of communication security. It uses existing fibre optic cables as sensitive sensors and enables effective identification and risk assessment of eavesdropping. This system is gaining recognition not only in the Czech Republic, but also among foreign security forces, with whom discussions are underway to supply their own equipment," said Petr Münster. The importance of this technology is confirmed by the growing interest of security agencies in deploying it in critical infrastructure systems, which underlines the uniqueness of Czech know-how at the international level.
Petr Münster and Tomáš Horváth received the Electromagnetic Security & TEMPEST 2019 award
In March 2019, Farnborough (UK) hosted the prestigious annual Security & Policing 2019 event, organised by the UK Government as the official platform for global security cooperation. The event attracted key representatives from security forces, government agencies and industry partners from around the world. The programme also included a closed-door expert symposium "Electromagnetic Security & TEMPEST 2019", organised irregularly by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), exclusively for security forces of selected countries. The Czech Republic was represented by representatives of NÚKIB, among others.An important moment of the event was the presentation "Opportunities for acoustic signal detection using optical cables", which included a live demonstration of an optical fibre microphone developed by the team of doc.
