Introduction to IoT Security Lecture 1 Introduction to Internet of Things Ethical Hacking Statement Training to become a cybersecurity specialist requires in depth understanding and exposure to how cyber-attacks occur, as well as how they are detected and prevented. These skills will naturally also include learning the techniques that threat actors use to circumvent data, privacy, and computer and network security. The hands-on training is performed in this environment so that students can gain the necessary skills and knowledge needed to thwart these and future cyber- attacks. Security holes and vulnerabilities that are created in this course should only be used in an ethical manner and only in this “sandboxed” virtual environment. Unauthorized access to data, computer, and network systems is a crime in many jurisdictions and often is accompanied by severe consequences, regardless of the perpetrator’s motivations. It is the learner’s responsibility, as the user of this material, to be cognizant of and compliant with computer use laws. Singapore Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act (2017) The Singapore Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act (CMCA) is a law that regulates the use of computer systems and networks in Singapore. Under the CMCA, it is an offense to access computer material without authorization or to access computer material with the intent to commit an offense. The CMCA also criminalizes the act of interfering with or causing damage to computer material without authorization. Learning Objectives Participants will understand the network fundamentals, including the X.200 OSI Reference Model, to establish a foundational understanding of IoT architecture. Participants will grasp security fundamentals, specifically the concepts of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA), as well as Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) in the context of IoT security. Network Fundamentals What is Internet of Things?

Network protocols are a set of rules or conventions that define how data is transmitted and received over a network. These protocols enable communication between devices, such as computers, servers, routers, and other networked devices, by specifying the format and sequence of messages exchanged between them. The purpose of network protocols is to ensure that data can be transmitted reliably and efficiently across a network. Network Fundamentals (Concepts) (Open System Interconnection, Reference Model) OSI-RM X.200 Various Size of Network Various Network Topology Personal Area Network (10m) Ring Local Area Network (100m) Bus Metropolitan Area Network (1km) Mesh Wide Area Network (10km) Star ITU-T vs IETF/IEEE Access Network Fundamentals Media Types – Copper (Guided Transmission) – Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Shielded Twisted Pair, Co-axial Cable – Fiber – (Guided Transmission) - Single Mode, Multi Mode – Wireless (Unguided Transmission) – Radio Wave, Microwave, Infra Red, Visual Light Digital Modulation A [V] A [V] – Frequency Modulation (FM) t[s] Repeater/Amplifier – Amplitude Modulation (AM) Hub – Phase Shift Key (PSK) ϕ f [Hz] CSMA-CD (Ethernet) & – Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) Q = M sin ϕ CSMA-CA (Wi-Fi) Spread Spectrum (Wireless Only) ϕ – Carrier Sense Multiple Access – Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (Wi-Fi) I= M cos ϕ Collision Detection / Avoidance – Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (Bluetooth) Flow Control Multiplexing – RTS, CTS, ACK – Time Division Multiplex – Frequency/Wave Division Multiplex (Fibre) – Space Division Multiplex – Code Division Multiplex IETF Network Layer Internet Protocol IPv4 & IPv6 Static Route MAC Address (Physical - Fixed) Dynamic Route IP Address (Logical - Dynamic) – Distance Vector (RIP) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Delivery Scheme (MAC  IP) – Unicast Switching vs Routing – Broadcast – Multicast (Industrial IoT) – MAC Table (Switch) – Routing Table (Router) Others: ICMP & IGMP VLAN/SSID == 1 Subnet Class A – 10.X.X.X (16,777,215 Host) Class B – 172.16.X.X (65535 Host) Class C – 192.168.X.X (255 Host) IETF Transport Layer Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Port Number (IANA) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) – Well Know Port (1-1023) Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) – Registered Port – Dynamic Port Connection Oriented vs Connectionless - Reliability, Sequence, Flow Control IoT Camera System Real Time Protocol (RTP) TCP Setting up of Connection Real Time Stream Protocol - 3-Way Handshake (RTSP) IETF Application Layer TCP Based UDP Based Transport Layer Security (TLS) Dynamic Host Control Protocol – Secure Socket Layer (SSL) – Link-Local Address : 169.254.X.X Lightweight Directory Access Protocol – 4 Way Handshake (LDAP) Domain Name Service – DNS  IP address Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) – Top Level Domain (TLC), ccTLD File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Network Time Protocol (NTP) Telnet/SSH Simple Mail Transfer Protocol/Post Office TFTP (Firmware updates) Protocol (SMTP/POP3) MQTT/COAP/OPC-UA IETF Protocols Wide Area Network Wired Network Mobile Network Public Switch Telephony Network (PSTN) 2G – GSM 14.4kb/s (ISDN – D Rate) 2.5G – GPRS 171kb/s ‒ 56Kb/s V.92 800Mhz, 900Mhz, 1800Mhz, 1900Mhz Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) 3G – WCDMA 2Mb/s ‒ B ==> Bearer 64kb/s 3.5G – HSPA 14Mb/s ‒ D ==> Data 16 Kb/s 2100Mhz 4G – LTE 50Mb/s ‒ 23B+D (T1) 1.544Mb/s (US) 4.5G – Adv LTE 300Mb/s ‒ 30B+2D (E1) 2048Mb/s (Europe) 900Mhz, 1800Mhz, 2600 Mhz Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) 5G – 1Gb/s ‒ 26 kHz – 137 kHz Upstream 1.3 Mb/s 3500Mhz ‒ 138 kHz –1104 kHz Downstream 8 Mb/s Data Over Cable Service Interface ‒ Specification (DOCSIS v3) ‒ 200Mb/s Upstream /1Gb/s Downstream Passive Optical Network (PON) ‒ GPON 1.244 Gbit/s Local Area Network Wired Network Wireless Network IEEE 802.3 Ethernet IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi Bluetooth RS-485 4-20ma (HART) ZigBee (Home Automation) Modbus/DNP3 EtherCAT (Industry) LoRA Sigfox Control Area Network (Transport) BACnet/LonTalk (Building) DALI (Lighting) Meter Bus (Public Service) Field Bus (ISA 95 Standard) Common Industrial Protocol How to choose wireless protocol for IoT? Security Fundamentals McCumber Cube Security Principles Confidentiality Integrity Availability Information States Data-at-Rest Data-in-Transit Data-in-Use Dimensions Technology Policies and Practice People Cybersecurity Tenets/Triads Confidentiality Confidentiality is one of the fundamental principles of information security, and encryption is a crucial tool to achieve it. Both symmetric (single shared key - AES) and asymmetric encryption (public/private key - RSA), along with X.509 certificates (public key infrastructure), play important roles in ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information. Integrity Integrity refers to the assurance that data remains unchanged and uncorrupted during storage, transmission, or processing. Hash functions play a pivotal role in ensuring data integrity by generating fixed-size hash values (Digital Signature) or checksums (Hash-Based Message Authentication Codes HMAC) (Shadow/Password) unique to the content of a given dataset. Availability Availability is to ensure continuous and reliable access to resources. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) manages user permissions, limiting unauthorized access. Firewalls/Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) filter network traffic, monitor and block suspicious. Anti-virus software detects and removes malicious programs, enhancing system availability Information State Security Dimension Technology This dimension uses i) device layer security, a) hardware security module – example trusted platform module (store keys, keys generations and encryption) b) secure boot - ensures only authenticated and authorized firmware and software are executed during boot time; ii) communication layer security - secure protocols using encryption/authentication; iii) software /application layer security – best secure coding practise and multi-factor authentication. Policies and Practice This dimension involves establishing security standards (help to maintain consistency throughout the network), guidelines (provide flexibility to fit with scenario and temporal needs), and procedures (incident response plans) for information security governance. These provide a strategic foundation, defining rules and practices to guide security efforts within an organization, ensuring a cohesive and compliant security posture. People This dimension Involves human factors, roles, and awareness; focuses on training, responsibilities, and user behaviours in information security. Principle of Least Privilege The Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) is a security principle that states that a user or process should be given only the minimum privileges necessary to perform its job functions. This principle is also known as the principle of minimal privilege or the principle of least authority. In computer terms privileges at least cover the following Read Write Execute !  Access Denied Access Granted What is AAA? AAA is a security framework that manage user access to computer systems, networks, and applications. One of the possible way to implement PoLP It stands for Authentications Authorization Accounting  Authentication Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, device, or entity attempting to access a resource. The authentication process typically involves the user Authentication providing some form of identification, such as a username and password, or using biometric factors such as fingerprints or facial recognition to gain access to a network. Authentication ensures that only authorized users have access to sensitive data or network resources. Authorization Authorization is the process of determining whether a user or entity is allowed to access a particular resource or perform a specific action. Once a user has been authenticated, the authorization Authorization process checks their privileges and permissions to ensure they are authorized to perform the requested action or access the desired resource. Authorization mechanisms typically involve granting or denying access based on the user's role or group membership.  Accounting Accounting is the process of recording and tracking the activities of users and entities on a network. Accounting enables administrators to monitor resource usage, track user activity, and generate reports on Accounting network usage. This information is used for billing, auditing, and compliance purposes, and can be used to identify suspicious or malicious activities on the network. Authentications Authorization Accounting 31  Components of AAA There are 3 main components of AAA They are: Supplicant Authenticator Authentication Server Modern Implementation of AAA Summary Network Fundamental includes Protocols, Layers, Encryption, OSI 7 Layers concept, IETF TCP/IP concept and Access Network fundamentals and examples Security Fundamental includes: McCumber Cube, Security Principles (CIA), Information State, Security Dimensions, AAA as well as its components. Lecture 2 Embedded Device Security Learning Objectives Participants will acquire knowledge about computing fundamentals, focusing on the Von Neumann architecture, to comprehend the structure of embedded devices.
