Requisites: AND Pre-requisite: [Module CSN09112] Network Security and Cryptography AND Pre-requisite: [Module CSN08102] Practical Networks 2

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: Design, implement, evaluate and critically analyse the vulnerability assessment of complex IoT systems.

LO2: Analyse and evaluate the key security architectures and authentication schemas.

LO3: Research and apply security algorithms to IoT applications to provide secure communication.
