Gaël Musquet Discusses Hardware Security and Emergency Tech at Campus Cyber

🎬 Gaël Musquet, a cybersecurity specialist and electronics engineer, discusses his work at Campus Cyber in France, focusing on hardware security, embedded systems, and radio communications. Born in Guadeloupe in 1980, his career was shaped by Hurricane Hugo, driving his commitment to disaster prevention through technology, including sensor networks, satellite systems, and radio-based emergency alerts. At Campus Cyber, he leads the LAP Cyber program, bridging academia and industry, and hosts biweekly "hacking shows" demonstrating vulnerabilities in time synchronization protocols (NTP, PTP), automotive systems, maritime navigation, and space-based communications. He highlights the use of open-source tools like Linux Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and Eclipse SDV to lower the cost of automotive cybersecurity research, contrasting France’s closed industry with international "Car Hacking Villages" at events like DEFCON. His projects include installing an atomic clock for resilient timekeeping, radio antennas for signal intelligence (GNSS spoofing/jamming detection), and a 5G testbed (Got B) in a Faraday cage for secure experimentation. Musquet also advocates for accessible cybersecurity education, teaching at ESIEA and other institutions, and emphasizes the need for more hands-on technical collaboration in France’s cybersecurity ecosystem.
