Title: CS598CG Security and Privacy for Home IoT Description: The Internet of Things (IoT) for homes describes an increasing deployment of networked devices located in homes and able to collect sensor inputs, communicate via local networks and the internet, and actuate events within the home. Examples include networked thermostats, fire alarms, security systems, and home health monitoring systems. They also include smart speakers and appliances. The course will explore the security and privacy ramifications of such devices covering both issues with the devices themselves and their broader ecosystem of smartphones and cloud systems. Format: This class will meet synchronously via two 75 minute online meetings each week. Students will be expected to read, present, and discuss advanced research papers on these topics and carry out a final project.
