Objectives

Within this course, the students will learn how to assess industrial AR threats, their potential impact on the facilities and employees, and how to mitigate these threats. The course will also provide opportunities to apply new knowledge in use-cases of industrial relevance.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student shall be able to:
1. Describe specific threat attack surfaces in Industry 4.0 environments connected to Augmented Reality.
2. Analyze the potential impact of the attacks involving AR on the Industry 4.0 environment.
3. Apply methods in order to prevent potential cyber-attacks.
4. Demonstrate how modeling and design can be used to ensure the security of AR applications.

Course content

* Cybersecurity risk assessment of Augmented Reality devices within Industry 4.0 environments.
* Mitigation strategies for building secure Augmented Reality applications.
* Scenarios of AR applications and relevant use-cases from industry.

Specific requirements

120 credits whereof 60 credits in computer science. In addition Swedish B/Swedish 3 and English A/English 6. For courses given entirely in English exemption is made from the requirement in Swedish B/Swedish 3.

Examination

Laboratory work (LAB1), A set of practical exercises,1 credit, examines the learning outcomes 3 and 4, marks Fail (U) or Pass (G)
Seminar (SEM1), Seminar presentation of the relevant concepts,1.5 credits, examines the learning outcomes 1-3, marks Fail (U) or Pass (G)

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
