This workshop is a (mandatory!) part of the Network Security lecture held in the winter term 2022/2023. Subject of the workshop are all topics covered in the first chapter "Physical- & Link-Layer Security":
The workshop is organised in a typical computer science research conference manner. It consists of three phases, each associated with a deadline that is provided further below:
After the third phase, we will take the best essays (according to their ratings) and publish them on the lecture's website in form of a workshop proceedings. As already mentioned in the lecture, successful participation in this workshop (including all three phases) is mandatory and a formal prerequisite of the exam. Successful participation means that the final rating of your essay must be above 3,5 (on a Likert scale) and it must comply with these guidelines.
Note: These deadlines are hard deadlines! Missing them results in an immediate exclusion from the workshop and loss of admission. So make sure you are well-organised.
Essay submission: | Friday, 13.01.2023 (23:59) |
Reviews: | Friday, 27.01.2023 (23:59) |
Final version: | Friday, 10.02.2023 (23:59) |
In order to be accepted for the review process, your essay must strictly conform with the following regulations. Violations will result in exclusion from the workshop and thus, exclusion from the NetSec exam. So please read the following instructions carefully and make sure your essay complies with the submission guidelines.
After you've successfully submitted your essay, it's time to start the reviewing phase of the workshop. Lukas will assign three essays to everyone of you. If you have no HotCRP account yet, make sure you register using the link Lukas' sent you in the invitation to the platform. The reviews will be double-blind. This means that neither you know who you are reviewing, nor the other authors will know who reviewed them.
Start with reading the essays assigned to you carefully and then fill in the review form in HotCRP for each essay. You will find the essays assigned to you under "Your Reviews" directly at the starting page. Each section in the review (summary/strengths/weaknesses) should have around 100 words. Be concise and provide constructive arguments for your statements. The reviews will serve as a basis for improvements in the revision phase and all reviewers should keep this in mind. Finally, rate the essay between strong reject (1) and strong accept (5). Based on this final rating, we will make our final decision about whether you'll have to improve your essay in the revision phase or not in order to pass this workshop.
Plagiarism: Please also check for plagiarism (see instructions above). In case you learn that the essay you are reviewing is a case of plagiarism, we recommend to reject the paper by rating it with 1. In such a case, please provide proof for your allegation by referencing the respective parts of the essay. Examples for plagiarism would be if the essay, or sections of the essay, are almost completely copied from other works or if content of other works is used without properly referencing the original source.
Misc: If you have any additional comments you would like us to know (but not the authors), use the comments field in the submission form.

This year's project will be about Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) security. BLE is a part of the Bluetooth communication technology, designed for embedded devices with local connectivity and low data rates.
Many "smart" devices, available in every tech-market, are controllable via BLE. Often the security of those devices is insufficient. We plan to get some of these devices, analyze their security, create an application to control the device and break the security.
