THE COURSE INTRODUCES THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF IOT APPLICATIONS, FROM HARDWARE PLATFORMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS TO COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS AND CLOUD SOLUTIONS, AND PRESENTS THE POSSIBLE VULNERABILITIES AND ATTACKS THAT CHARACTERIZE EACH LAYER OF CURRENT IOT ARCHITECTURES (FROM PHYSICAL ATTACKS TO COMMUNICATION ANOMALIES AND CRITICALITY OF THE SOFTWARE), DESCRIBING THE SET OF EXISTING SOLUTIONS TO GUARANTEE ADEQUATE LEVELS OF SECURITY. THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE NECESSARY SKILLS TO BE PROFESSIONALS IN SECURE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EMBEDDED DEVICES AND DATA PROTECTION IN IOT APPLICATIONS, AND IN PARTICULAR EXPERTS IN EVALUATING THE SECURITY LEVEL OF AN IOT SYSTEM AND HOW TO INCREASE ITS SECURITY. PROTECTIONS. THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE A SOLID, PRACTICAL AND USEFUL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW HACKERS ACT AGAINST IOT SYSTEMS, FOCUSING ON HOW THEIR OWN METHODS AND TOOLS CAN BE USED TO PROTECT COMPUTER SYSTEMS AGAINST ATTACKS. THE STUDENT WILL POSSESS THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL BACKGROUND FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SECURITY SOLUTIONS ON THE MAIN BOARDS SUCH AS ARDUINO, RASPBERRY OR STM32, AND METHODOLOGICAL WITH RESPECT TO THE THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES OF SECURITY AND PRIVACY PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE IOT DOMAIN, TECHNIQUES ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS OF VULNERABILITY POSSIBILITIES, APPLICATION OF THE GDPR TO THE SECURITY CONTEXT IN THE IOT DOMAIN. FINALLY, THE STUDENT WILL LEARN WHAT IS NECESSARY TO APPLY IOT SECURITY CONCEPTS AND THEORIES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT IOT SYSTEMS SECURELY, DESIGN AND DEVELOP SERVICES THAT LEVERAGE BLOCKCHAIN OR OTHER ADVANCED SECURITY SOLUTIONS IN THE IOT DOMAIN, AND USE TECHNIQUES FOR VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF AN IOT SOLUTION. |
