In general, IoT devices control physical interfaces and acquire information from the external world, and those information needs to be constantly sent to a server directly or through a gateway. This scenario exposes IoT devices to be targeted by malicious actions. On the other hand, discussions in consortiums and government organizations are consolidating security requirements for IoT devices. However, aligning the product’s security level, alongside the security requirements consolidation, with the market goals and providing ways to validate those requirements automatically is becoming more necessary.
Given this scenario, this work aims to implement a 5G testbed for IoT devices, especially for those categorized as consumer devices (cameras, smart locks, smart plugs, etc.), to serve as a platform for creating automated and semi-automated security test cases for the whole IoT ecosystem.
Responsibilities:
The main objective is to create a testbed for IoT devices (consumer category) to be used in security assessment, the most relevant standards and guidelines must be considered to define the security test cases that can be automated. This work will start from previous research in Keysight, which was built up on top of open-source (Nmap, OpenTap, Ettercap, Open5GS, srsRAN, etc.) and Keysight private (IoT Security Assessment, CyPerf, BreakingPoint and LoadCore) tools.
You will have access to our state-of-the-art laboratory at Keysight Laboratories Technology and all the equipment you need to make this project a reality!
