Student Signature: Date: Student Name: Assignment Description 1 Overview of the assessment: The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills to independently think of a situation and apply skills to analyze complex problems in network security under supervision. In this assignment, students will analyze a recent case in a chosen field. Based on his/her analysis, the student will find out the causes of the breach and will provide a plausible theoretical solution to resolve the case. 2 Description of the assessment: The assignment consists of three steps – i) field selection ii) find a business case and iii) analyze the business case. ***You should work on your assignment progressively in full co-ordination with your tutor. 2.1 Field Selection In the first step of the assignment, you have to select one of the fields listed below. You should choose your field in consultation with your lab tutor – • Internet of Things 2.2 Finding a Case Study In this step, you need to find a business case in your chosen field from last two years. The business case can be of two types – • A real world example, where a security breach occurs. • Two IEEE Journals, where authors worked toward the security of your chosen field. 2.3 Analyzing the Business Case Analysis depends on the type of your business case – 2.3.1 A Real World Example If it is a real world example, you need to first write a summary of the case study in your own worlds. Then you need to clearly identify the security breaches that occurred. Finally, you have to provide a solution that should be taken in future by the respective organization build a shield against such attacks. 2.3.2 Research Article You need to write a critical review on both of the journals that you have identified. The critical review includes – i) Summary of the Paper ii) Strength of the Paper iii) Weakness of the paper. 3 Plagiarism All used sources must be properly acknowledged with references and citations, if you did not create it. Quotations and paraphrasing are allowed but the sources must be acknowledged. Failure to do so is regarded as plagiarism and the minimum penalty for plagiarism is failure for the assignment. The act of given your assignment to another student is classified as a plagiarism offence. Copying large chucks and supplying a reference will result in zero marks as you have not contributed to the report. Copying from Youtube or other videos is also plagiarism (including transcripts). Citation in a video can be included as credits at the end. 4 Due Date & Submission The report is due at Week 11 Submission Guidelines: • Please download the IEEE Conference Template from the MOODLE • You need to use the template to write your report • The report should be in between 3-4 pages. • Upload your report into the MOODLE Late submission of assignments will be penalised as follows: • For assignments 1 to 5 days late, a penalty of 10% (of total available marks) per day. • For assignments more than 5 days late, a penalty of 100% will apply. Your submission must be compatible with the software (PDF/Word/Video) in MIT, Computer Laboratories/Classrooms. Extensions: Under normal circumstances extensions will not be granted. In case of extenuating circumstances— such as illness—a Special Consideration form, accompanied by supporting documentation, must be received before 3 working days from the due date. If granted, an extension will be only granted only by the time period stated on the documentation; that is, if the illness medical certificate was for one day, an extension will be granted for one day only. Accordingly the student must submit within that time limit. Penalties may apply for late submission without an approved extension. Penalties: Academic misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism incur penalties ranging from a zero result to program exclusion. Marking criteria: Example of marking criteria is shown in following table. Marks are allocated as follows: Note: The marking criteria varies for each assignment Section to be included in the report Description of the section Marks Abstract You should write a brief abstract that will provide a glimpse of your report 2 Literature You should write a brief literature survey on your chosen field. Your literature survey should be supported by at least 3-4 research articles 2 Business Case In this section, you need to present the business case that you will analyze in this report 2 Analysis In this section, you should present your detailed analysis. 10 Conclusion Draw a conclusion. 2 Reference All references should be in IEEE style 2 Total 20 Example Marking Rubric for Assignment #: Total Marks 50 Note: The marking rubrics varies for each assignment Grade Mark HD 40-50 DI 35-44 CR 30-34 P 25-29 Fail <25 Excellent Very Good Good Satisfactory Unsatisfactory
