Indoor localization Access Control management

"Manage Access Control policies based on presence of users in the Smart-Home"

Integrate some of the existing technologies for localization and presence detection(RDIF, BLE) with ABAC-enabled Smart-Home management system.

Goal of this thesis is to enable definition and validation of the access policies in Smart-Home that required users' presence events as input and allow/forbid particular actions in Smart-Home based on those events.

This solution will be integrated with already existing Smart-Home management framework, present on COSY:Lab.

Blockchain-based
Identity Management - vergeben
Smart Home device registry

"Provide self-sovereign identity to the users and devices in a Smart-Home"

Implement blockchain-based storage(decentralized PKI) and accompanying clients for successful identity management based on X.509 certificates.

Goals of this thesis is to enable authentication of the entities in the Smart-Home system using certificates and public keys, while marking authentication using passwords as obsolete.

This solution will be integrated with already existing Smart-Home management framework, present on COSY:Lab.

Identity and Key Management for resource-constrained IoT devices - vergeben

Goal of this thesis is implementation of the light-weight solution for resource contrained devices based on embedded Linux OS that supports handling of public and private keys.

This solution should incorporate key exchange protocol between Arduion-based devices and central manager for keys handling.

Special attention should be given to the storing of the keys in a trusted and secure manner, using concepts similar to TPM.

Successful implementation of this thesis will lead to the mutual authentication of the devices and will be integrated in the COSY Smart Home environment.

Traffic And Load Models For ISM- And SRD-Band LoRa
LoRa is an emerging proprietary physical-layer modulation technology for IoT WANs; LoRaWAN adds gateways and network uplink to bridge Things to the Internet. This project proposes to investigate traffic on the frequency bands locally used for LoRa (see for example https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/community/vienna/ ) and suggest spatial, spectral, and traffic load models for this new type of data communication. Collaboration with Vienna's community-driven, partipatory LoRaWAN installation by https://openiot.network is welcome.

Network Packet Trace Anonymization

Recordings of network traffic play an important role in studying the network behavior of nodes, applications, and users. Unfortunately, these traces also contain quasi-personally identifiable information (PII) which makes sharing or publishing traces problematic. Develop a tool or extend existing ones (libpcap, Wireshark) to anonymize traces to various degrees. For this, identify types of PII found in traces, and evaluate methods to pseudonymize or otherwise scrub the records.

Note: This project is a great start into the world of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS)!
