b. Topics with a Network-related Focus
Access Control decentralisation in the IoT environment |
|---|
Goal of this topic is to decentralise/distribute access control mechanisms across a local IoT network. Currently, Access Control in IoT environment is rather centralised, meaning that Access Control gateways aren't neccesarily near IoT devices, which leaves a big attack plane for hackers. In this topic, the ultimate goal will be to bring Access Control mechanisms as close as possible to sensors in an IoT system. In order to achieve that, multiple challeges arise - access rights synchronisation, building trust between modules in a distributed system, etc. Your solution will be developed and integrated as part of COSYLab Smart Home framework. Note: This topic is only available as P1/P2 or Master's Thesis. |

Behavior-based Access Control management |
|---|
"Smartify Access Control in the IoT environment by analysing user behaviour patterns" Make use of the collected data from sensors in a Smart-Home and define events that could be of interest to assigning Access Rights to the users in the system. This topic requires analysis of the user behavior patterns(waking up time, leaving to work, bed time) in the IoT environment, description of the patterns through system events and application of these events to the composition of access rights. This solution will be integrated with an already existing Smart-Home management framework, present on COSY:Lab. Note: This topic is only available as P1/P2 or Master's Thesis. |

Fog computing-based Smart-Home Web Application based on AMQP protocol |
|---|
Goal of this topic is to build a web application/web application module, that will support publish/subscribe messaging pattern using AMQP protocol. In order to develop required solution, technical knowledge in networking as well as modern web application technologies( Angular, AngularJS, Bootstrap) is expected. This topic is tighly connected with the HCI-related topic for the same web application - Interface and Interaction Design of a Web Application for ABAC-enabled Smart-Home management offered by Christian Löw (check the topic description above). Final goal of this topic is to develop and evaluate the web application within the COSYLab framework, offering services using AMQP protocol. |

IoT Identity Management performance simulator - vergeben |
|---|
Implement tool that can evaluate the compliance of automatic identity management solution in IoT environment. Goal of this thesis is to build simulation tool that takes into consideration computational effort factors(CPU, memory usage, network delay) for various Identity Management solutions(e.g. PKI, Web of Trust, OpenPGP) This solution will be further used for long term testing of particular Identity Management systems, with special analysis of adaptability on resource-constrained devices (IoT sensors) |
