Internet of Things and Cybersecurity

Communications | Computer networks | Cybersecurity | Embedded systems | Connected objects

The aim of the ‘Internet of Things and Cybersecurity’ specialization is to develop the interconnection between the Internet, objects, places and embedded systems – in particular by securing data and transmissions while developing energy efficiency.

Embedded systems can be found in both industrial and domestic environments. Their fields of application are extremely varied, ranging from connected agriculture to connected industries and the defense industry. The need for embedded systems is growing rapidly, whether in terms of use, implementation, maintenance or design, particularly in the field of cyber security.

The career opportunities offered by embedded systems are numerous, but require extensive skills in various scientific fields: IT for software development, communication networks, security and design on microcontrollers or microprocessors;
Electronics for the design of analog and digital systems, including wired and wireless telecommunications, connected objects and hardware security.

Our aim at Polytech Lille is to give our embedded systems graduates engineering skills in computer science and electronics.

Classes are taught in French.

Database Systems

24 h

Goals to be achieved :
This module helps to acquire skills in the following blocks identified in the RNCP training sheet:
- BC01: Formalize and develop the specifications of an embedded system
- BC02: Design the architecture of embedded hardware and software systems in an industrial or domestic context
- BC06: Develop information acquisition and processing systems

Background:

More and more professionals and computerized technical devices - particularly embedded systems - exploiting local databases or accessed over computer networks. They share thereby information enabling them to adapt their behavior to the context and other entities with which they interact.

A database is a collection of data organized in a coherent scheme for easy storage, updating and consultation of these data to build actionable information by applications and different users.

A DBMS is software that enables the creation, updating and operation of databases. It ensures consistency and security of data during failures and concurrency.

The purpose of this module is to learn to:

    analyze the necessary data and their dependencies;

    design a conceptual data model reflecting these needs in a logical organization of information;

    determine the need to implement a relational database;

    derive a normalized relational schema update avoiding errors of information and facilitating research;

    deploy a relational database on a standard RDBMS;

    use the database in a single application with basic interrogation techniques (SQL) based on relational algebra;

    integrate an RDBMS in a system distributed over a network such as the Internet;

    estimate the risks associated with fault and concurrent operation of a database and participate in designing a solution to mitigate these risks by transaction management technology and competition.
Course details :
The course / TD is divided into four parts:

    The first is devoted to the basic concepts (what is a DBMS type DBMS), and general concepts (what is an attribute, entity, and link types of diagram creation relational, formed into tuples, standardization through the first three normal forms).

    The second part is devoted to algebraic language with set and relational operators (join, projection and selection).

    The third is dedicated to SQL

    The last part is dedicated is an introduction to HTML web page description languages ??and PHP web programming and SQL Query insertion to learn how to make web forms and exploit in PHP to query or modify a database through SQL.

The Hands directly apply the principles learned in the course / Tutorial: design conceptual schema and relational from a specification, creating a relational database and query through the SQL language. The TP is implemented using RDBMS free client-server Postgres. A simple interactive web application using the database will be programmed in PHP.

Course details :
The practical module on isolation and networks is divided into several workshops.

An "Internet services and security" workshop. This workshop is an extension of the previous semester's network module, with the addition of the IPv6 protocol and more complex notions such as router redundancy, more advanced automatic routing protocols, route verification and the setting up of possible backup routes. Exercises on operating system virtualization and process containerization are also included. Students are asked to install standard services (DNS server, ssh, HTTP server) on their virtual machines, to test their network and Internet connection. The services are then secured: firewall for ssh, DNSSEC and HTTPS. Wireless network security is covered in a WEP and WPA key-cracking workshop. Students are also asked to set up a WiFi network with WPA-EAP identification.

A "virtual machine migration" workshop. In pairs, students use their knowledge of systems and networks to implement all the system, network and storage components of a "highly available" infrastructure. Deployment is based on enterprise virtualization tools (Vmware VSphere) on physically separate administration and storage networks. In this way, students can handle advanced virtualization functions under the same conditions as in an enterprise: hot migration of virtual machines (vmotion), setting up affinity rules, cloning virtual machines, etc.

An "innovative architecture" workshop. Students are asked to install a social networking application (e.g. synapse) on an advanced architecture consisting of minimal virtual machines and a virtualized OpenWRT router. The three virtual machines in the model are distributed across several hypervisors, but linked by a private network of virtual switches and physical fiber connections. The application is installed entirely via a software deployment and configuration tool (e.g. ansible). The tool is also used to deploy containers on virtual machines.

A "scalable Web server farm" workshop. All the students' work is carried out using the Proxmox virtual machine orchestrator. The first step is to install an Internet-enabled Web server using the reverse proxy technique used in industry. The installation is largely based on container deployment. In a second phase, the model is extended to use Hashicorp tools (nomad and consul) to build a scalable Web server farm infrastructure. The deployment of the infrastructure's containers is controlled by a continuous integration system. Deployment of other services (DHCP and TFTP) is covered, enabling us to experiment with launching virtual machines with operating system recovery via the network, and using a distributed file system for storage. The generation of a customized operating system and the implementation of an advanced user identification system are also covered.

Take into account the issues of work relations, ethics, safety and health at work
Integrate into an organization, lead it and help it evolve: exercise of responsibility, team spirit, commitment and leadership, project management.
Question yourself in order to analyze and evaluate your actions, your managerial practices and actions related to your practice throughout your professional career.
Analyze the management practices of your peers.

Educational innovation
Team management and group interaction will be perfected and put to the test as part of the StratiRac business game. This management simulator is played in teams of 6 or 7 who reproduce a real CODIR, which takes over a company in difficulty.
This serious game therefore reproduces a potentially stressful situation close to the reality of a business: business to turn around, large volume of documents to understand, organization and team strategy to put in place.
The increase in skills is carried out using reverse teaching, but the students are supervised and guided gradually via various educational workshops of 30 minutes maximum.
The seminar is divided into 2 calendar periods, which makes it possible to challenge students in terms of a reflective approach, and to improve their cooperation.
Theoretical and methodological contributions will be made from these analyzes of practices.

The educational objectives are:
- Allow the student to understand complex management and cooperation situations via the context (the CODIR takes over a company in difficulty at the start of the game, short decision-making times, etc.)
- Develop skills specific to teamwork, work on cooperation, organization, delegation of tasks and report on them
- Integrate the social and ethical dimension in the service of strategic performance
- Integrate into this organization: self-knowledge, team spirit
- Know how to evaluate and analyze one's actions, one's managerial practices, in a professional context
