Module Code CSN08102 and CSN09112
Module Title Practical Networks 2 and Network Security and Cryptography.

The aim of the module is to develop a deep understanding of issues related to IoT security and privacy that will allow graduates to act professionally in the analysis of vulnerabilities of IoT systems as well as the design and the implementation of security countermeasures for such systems. An outline of the main areas includes: IoT communication technologies (6LowPAN, Bluetooth, LoRa, ZigBee) and their security provisions, major attack against the 6LowPAN stack including resource , traffic and topology attacks, latest advancements in IoT security countermeasures, and IoT privacy concerns and incident response. The module practical side will allow the students to experiment with major attacks and build suitable countermeasures on both simulated and real hardware environments.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to
LO1: Develop advanced knowledge, of major security attacks against standardized IoT protocols.
LO2: Develop advanced knowledge, and critically evaluate security provisions of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
LO3: Develop in-depth understanding of the major privacy issues of IoT.
LO4: Research and critically evaluate security countermeasures to the major security IoT attacks.
