Report requirements
The student will assess an IoT system, applying a security or privacy analysis. The assessment can be done alone or in a group. The advantage of group work is that you can challenge each other, and have discussions about your analysis. The presentation of the report forms the first 8 min of the exam, and is the basis for questions of the content of the exam.
The students are free to come with ideas on the report's topic.
Formal requirements:
- at least 6 pages of content (without Table of contents, cover page etc.). The report is "for your eyes only, and serves as the basis of your presentation. Reason is that we want you to learn to structure a report, and present the report.
- student is free to choose to write in english or norwegian
- should contain (but not limited to): introduction, background, description of tasks to be done, presentation of results and conclusion. (see suggestions)
Possible field of work
- Multi-metrics approach in practice, this is the normal group work which was given previously, example: A good (A) delivery from 2016: Media:good_example_group_work.pdf, you are allowed to choose a simpler example.
- Microsoft Threat analysis
- Security possibilities in Raspberry Pi wireless sensor networks
Examples:
- Zigbee or Connected Home over IP[1] : analysis of security capabilities, use case home automation
- A security evaluation of wifi-mains smart plugs
Suggestions for Group Work
The main goal for your project work is to analyse an application scenario with respect to a complete system design. Thus,
- 1. establish the application goals with respect to coverage, capacity, or maintainability
- 2. have a system in mind that delivers the expected applications
- 3. Select your evaluation criteria, e.g. price, performance, capacity for the system evaluation
- 4. Divide the system into components, and perform an analysis of the components. Establish the required models for an appropriate calculation of the system performance.
- 5. Present the results, using the evaluation criteria defined earlier
- 6. Compare the outcome of the system analysis with your application goals
- 7. evaluate your results, e.g. by identifying components/functionalities which influence your system
- 8. suggest further work, and provide reasons for those suggestions
Evaluation criteria for Group Work
The results of your work should be presented during the last lecture, and a short report (max 12 pages) has to be established. The report can be separate, or can just be a description of what is on you slides.
Your presentation is expected to last for 25-35 min. Your presentation will be evaluated with respect to the following criteria:
Application scenario/Use case
- To what extend does the application scenario address the topics envisaged in TEK5110
Identification of functionalities of the system components
- Which are the functionalities that have to be modelled?
- Are the models suitable for the analysis?
Perform the analysis
- What are the results of my calculations/measurements/monitoring?
- To what extends satisfy the models the expected functionality?
- What is the sensitivity of my results?
Critical review and future work
- are the critics well reasoned?
- do what degree is the future work addressing shortcomings?
