SIT382 System Security Assignment 1 - Research Essay Trimester 2 2020 Total marks: 20 Over decades, the development of Internet and communication technologies has introduced a virtual world to everyone’s daily life. In this virtual world, people are able to conduct a large number of activities similar in the real world. Subsequently, a question has been raised, which is how to build a bridge between the real and the virtual world. To answer this question, an innovative technology has been studied for many years and now is being widely used, named Internet of Things (IoT). By taking the advantages of affordable sensors and wireless communications, IoT networks are capable of digitising human activities in the real world, which can be utilised directly in the virtual world. However, from the security point of view, IoT is not flawless. A large number of security issues have been observed in IoT systems. Consequently, not only the IoT system will be attacked, but privacy of end users will also lose. Therefore, in recent years, security and privacy issues in IoT networks have been a hot topic in research field. Below is a list of possible essay topics. In this assignment, you are required to complete an essay relating to the security or privacy problem, consisting of 1500-2000 words (minimum 1500 words, single spaced, 12pt font, on the A4-sized paper) on ONE of these topics. You will also need to prepare a 5-minute video talk with presentation slides to describe your findings. Possible essay topics 1. Security in IoT. In this essay, you investigate the security problems of IoT. You need to describe why security issues exist in IoT and what types of security issues are commonly observed. You then select a security issue and analyse it in detail. After that, you describe and compare existing methods to defend against and solve the security issues according to some criteria, such as effectiveness and cost of deployment. Additionally, you will propose a new or improved method or technique to defend against or solve the security issue and describe the effectiveness of your method/technique. 2. Privacy in IoT. In this essay, you investigate the privacy issues of IoT. You need to describe why privacy problems exist in IoT and what kinds of privacy information is more likely to be violated. You then select an attack that may lead to the loss of privacy and analyse it in details. Further comparisons with existing methods to defend against this attack are expected to be done according to certain defined criteria, such as effectiveness and cost of deployment. Additionally, you will propose a new or an improved method or technique to defend against the attack and describe the effectiveness of your method/technique. Diagrams and examples may help to explain your thoughts. Bonus marks may be awarded if you propose the new architecture, method, algorithm, technique, etc. However, these proposals will be closely examined by the assessor. You need to make sure (e.g., prove formally or informally) that your proposal is correct and meets your design goals (for example, improve the performance, be more secure, or be more scalable).
