Hardware & Wireless Security (Hardware and embedded security)
The course is taught in English and aims to present the most significant aspects of Hardware Security, covering both intellectual property protection and the threads to the functionality of the systems, including their most common weakness, vulnerabilities, attacks, and possible mitigations and remediations. The course mixes lectures and hands-on experiences. The course includes a final exam in which students can face theoretical and practical questions related to hardware security.
Hardware & Wireless Security (Wireless and device-to-device communication Security)
The course, taught in English in the second semester of the second year of the Master of Science in Cybersecurity, is one of the characterizing courses of all the tracks. It aims at presenting the technologies for wireless communications and the security challenges they create for the cyber security of IT systems. This course focuses on the challenges in providing secure communication and network services in various wireless systems and approaches to managing these challenges. Topic coverage includes both the technology overview of different wireless communications systems and vulnerabilities, attacks, security mechanisms, and trade-offs at various layers of the protocol stack, from aspects of physical communication to application and service security issues; examples include jamming, MAC-layer misbehaviour, selective packet dropping, and cross-layer holistic attacks. The course introduces wireless technologies, including cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, IoT-specific technologies and navigation systems. The students will learn about the various wireless system architectures and the security challenges one must consider and face to offer a reliable and secure communication system. The students will gain hands-on experience using tools and practical lab experiences.

Hardware & Wireless Security (Hardware and embedded security)
The course exam will consist of questions and short exercises.
Hardware & Wireless Security (Wireless and device-to-device communication Security)
The exam consists of a written test that may include open-answer and closed-answer questions or exercises to check that the student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills (see expected learning outcomes). For the part about skills, the questions may be simple exercises or use cases related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories. For each question, the maximum grade that can be obtained is specified. The final grade will be the sum of the grades assigned to the answers given to the questions. The written test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their test with pencil and paper. The total duration of the test, as measured by the Exams platform, which includes the setup time, is 1 hour and 40 minutes. The test is closed-book, i.e., the student cannot consult any material during the test and cannot use any electronic device except the PC used for the test. Students with a grade of 25/30 or higher can opt for the oral exam. During the oral, the students will discuss all topics presented during the course. The grade of the oral exam may add a score between -3 and +3 to the grade of the written exam. Additionally, the teachers will request an oral exam in case of doubts about the evaluation of the written test. The oral exam will consist of additional questions to resolve the teachers' doubts in the evaluation. A sample exam test will be made available to the students through the Exercise platform.
