Course description
This lecture will introduce concepts of computer networking related to Internet of Things devices. The goal of the course is to make you feel comfortable designing and secure IoT-based Internet communication. The course gives you an understanding of
- The hardware used in IoT devices
- Embedded software development
- Local communication to sensors and actuators
- Internet protocols specifically designed for IoT devices
- Protocols to manage the lifecycle of IoT devices
- Security technologies used on constrained device, and
- Data protection and privacy
There will be exercises and it is mandatory to complete all the exercises to attend the final exam. Each student will be provided with IoT hardware. For software development the preferred tool is a professional IDE developed by Keil.
