TEK5530 – Measurable Security for IoT-Based Systems
Course description
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Course content
The course provides a methodology for measurable security, privacy, and dependability of industrial systems. Based on e.g. a smart grid example, we will establish and develop the methodology to perform a multi-metrics analysis from components to sub-systems to systems. The course will allow you to compare security-related application goals with the results from the system analysis.
Learning outcome
After completing the course, you will be able to
- describe application-driven security and establish challenges of sensor-driven systems
- provide industrial examples, e.g. Smart Grid and automatic meter readings
- establish application-driven security goals as well as the semantics of your system
- generate matrices to describe the security impact of components and sub-systems, and perform a multi-metrics analysis to establish the system security
- analyze application goal versus system security and suggest improvements
Admission to the course
Students admitted at UiO must?apply for courses?in Studentweb. Students enrolled in other master's degree programmes can, on application, be admitted to the course if this is cleared by their own study programme.
Nordic citizens and applicants residing in the Nordic countries may?apply to take this course as a single course student.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about?admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is built on basic knowledge of information security.
Overlapping courses
- 10 credits overlap with TEK9530 – Measurable Security for the Internet of Things.
- 10 credits overlap with UNIK4750 – Measurable Security for the Internet of Things (continued).
- 10 credits overlap with UNIK9750 – Selected Topics in Measurable Security for the Internet of Things (continued).
Teaching
The course has full-day lectures/exercises roughly every other week, on average 3?hours of lectures/exercises each week. The lectures will be held at ITS, Kjeller, with video conferencing to UiO and other locations for remote teaching.
There are mandatory assignments throughout the semester, which will be part of a portfolio assessment that counts 40% towards your final grade.
The course lectures are given at the Department of Technology systems in Kjeller Research Park. See the schedule for the student bus from Campus Blindern.
Examination
- The final grade is based on a portfolio assessment which counts 40% towards the final grade.
- I addition?there will be?an oral exam at the end of the semester which counts for the remaining 60% of the final grade.
- In the case of many students, the final exam may be held as a written exam; this will be decided early in the semester.
It will also be counted as 1 of the 3 attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following courses:
- UNIK4750 – Measurable Security for the Internet of Things (continued)
- UNIK9750 – Selected Topics in Measurable Security for the Internet of Things (continued)
- TEK9530 – Measurable Security for the Internet of Things
Examination support material
You are allowed the presentations used in the lectures, scientific papers and case studies as well as your own portfolio for the exam.
Language of examination
Courses taught in English will only offer the exam paper in English. You may write your examination paper in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.
Grading scale
Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F?is a fail. Read more about the grading system.
Resit an examination
Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are?offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.
Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass, the original examination.
