WSN6262: SECURITY, PRIVACY AND ETHICAL ASPECTS OF IoT

Wireless sensor network is highly vulnerable to attacks because it consists of various devices which have constrained resources such as; low battery power, less memory, and associated low energy. Sensor nodes communicate among themselves via wireless links. However, there are still a lot of unresolved issues in wireless sensor networks of which security is one of them. Sensor networks are deployed in hostile environments. Environmental conditions along with resource constraints give rise to many types of security threats or attacks. In this module the students will learn about various attacks in IoT, the security design and also different types of infringement on privacy of human beings and also other habitats. This module will also impart knowledge on theethical aspects while deploying IoT for various applications.
