Welcome!
The goal of the Embedded System Cyber Security course is to examine and assess the existence of cyber security issues found within IoT hardware devices. These devices range from in home security cameras, police cameras, smart garage doors and building management systems. In order to achieve this, we will implement a multi-domain investigation through the use of hardware reverse engineering, software/firmware reverse engineering, and RF analysis along with static and dynamic testing through instrumentation. Finally, any identified vulnerabilities in the devices' cyber security protection will be tested and demonstrated.
