Privacy-Enhancing Technologies and Privacy-Enhancing Cryptography for Wearables
Casanova-Marqués, Raúl ; Pendo,, Cristiano Gonçalves (referee) ; PhD, Lukasz Michal Chmielewski, (referee) ; Hajný, Jan (advisor)
The increasing concern surrounding privacy and the safeguarding of digital identities has emphasized the pressing necessity of establishing secure and confidential communication channels. This concern has led to the development of cryptographic mechanisms aimed at facilitating impervious information exchange. Nevertheless, traditional cryptographic approaches are proving insufficient in dynamic and resource-constrained environments, such as wearable devices. As a result, attribute-based credential schemes have emerged as a promising solution, offering fine-grained access control to digital services based on user-specific attributes. This doctoral thesis examines the efficacy and scalability of attribute-based anonymous credential schemes in ensuring the authenticity and security of users within dynamic architectures of wearable devices. It also explores enhancements to these schemes, with a primary focus on incorporating user revocation while maintaining privacy. Additionally, the thesis presents devised mechanisms to enable attribute-based authentication protocols on smart cards with limited support for elliptic curve cryptography. It addresses specific challenges associated with the usability of smart cards. Moreover, the thesis investigates the integration of anonymous authentication schemes in collaborative indoor positioning systems, aiming to provide privacy and security. Lastly, it explores the implementation of attribute-based authentication schemes in resource-constrained environments, with an emphasis on Internet of Things devices, and evaluates their feasibility within the dynamic architectures of wearable devices. The first contribution of this thesis introduces a purposefully designed protocol for anonymous authentication on smart cards. This protocol combines attribute-based credentials and user revocation while ensuring computational efficiency. To facilitate effective implementation and evaluation, the thesis employs smart cards equipped with the MULTOS operating system. The second contribution focuses on optimizing the capabilities of smart cards using Java Card technology for the implementation of attribute-based credential schemes. These smart cards are presented as a more accessible alternative for a wider consumer base. To overcome limitations in their application programming interface, the thesis devises strategies to augment the constrained support for elliptic curve cryptography and effectively implement such schemes. The third contribution presents the Privacy-Enhancing Authentication System, a robust solution compatible with smart cards, smartphones, and smartwatches. This system addresses the functional challenges associated with smart cards, including the absence of a graphical interface and limited user control over attribute disclosure. Consequently, it offers a practical and deployable solution for real-world scenarios. Finally, the thesis proposes a groundbreaking scheme to safeguard collaborative indoor positioning systems by addressing both privacy and security concerns. This scheme ensures the preservation of privacy and security by eliminating centralized architectures and employing encryption techniques for positioning information. The thesis includes comprehensive details such as protocol use cases, implementation specifics, execution benchmarks, and a comparative analysis with existing protocols.

Security Monitoring of Home IoT Networks
Krajč, Patrik ; Grégr, Matěj (referee) ; Matoušek, Petr (advisor)
The main purpose of my bachelor thesis is create system for security monitoring of home IoT networks and user interface for network anomalies detection. Final application shows information about traffic in specified time intervals for specific day and hour. Traffic information are obtained from IPFIX records stored in MySQL database. Used test kits of IPFIX records were created from communication of locally connected devices that used CoAP protocol.

Beehive security system against unauthorized manipulation
Milota, Martin ; Münster, Petr (referee) ; Dejdar, Petr (advisor)
This master thesis deals with the design of beehive security system against unauthorized manipulation. The system uses LoRaWAN wireless communication technology for data transmission. The device records the movement of the beehive using an accelerometer and then locates the beehive using a GPS module. The low-energy system works via a battery-powered ESP32 microcontroller and is located on a beehive. The battery is charged using a solar panel. The system can be modularly expanded with additional sensors to monitor the condition of the bees. The device has been tested in practice, where it has been confirmed that it meets the required properties for securing beehives.

Coordination of MicroPython-Based IoT by Means of Node-RED
Kolář, Josef ; Peringer, Petr (referee) ; Janoušek, Vladimír (advisor)
The target of this thesis is to create means for using the Node-RED tool to coordinate physical nodes in the form of ESP32 chips in the Internet of Things. This is fulfilled by created Node-RED extension, the proposed MQTT channel protocol and custom firmware for these nodes. All of this suport deploy of diverse applications to nodes simultaneously side by side. The designed and implemented MicroPython firmware is capable of asynchronous operation of individual applications which provides an interface to communicate with the Node-RED. The functionality of this system has been successfully validated on the basis of two practical usage scenarios that demonstrate the possibility of direct use deployment system into practice in automation - even with the included firmware installer.

Hrbek, Tomáš ; Prokeš, Aleš (referee) ; Hanák, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with optimization of transmitter amplifier parameters for LoRaWAN network. The issue of optimization is first based on the conditions of ETSI EN 300 220, which takes into account the eventuality of interference the adjacent channels in the band. The optimizations are designed specifically for the Qorvo RF5110g integrated circuit, so that the amplifier meets the requirements of the above standard at the limit of the maximum allowed output power and also with respect to radio ecology.
