CYS 631OMobile and Wireless Security

This course will address various issues (attacks and defense strategies) in wireless and mobile security, including WEP and WPA, wireless jamming attacks, and mobile privacy. Topic coverage will include vulnerabilities, attacks, security mechanisms, and trade-offs at various layers of the network protocol stack, from aspects of physical communication to application and service security issues; examples include MAC-layer misbehavior, selective packet dropping, decentralized trust and reputation, and cross-layer holistic attacks. Systems of interest include (but are not limited to) personal devices, connected vehicles, embedded and IoT systems, wireless infrastructure, and ad hoc networks.
