SWARM: Secure Wireless Ad hoc Robots on Mission A course where wireless security meets robotics
In this paper, we describe the SWARM course. SWARM was designed for Honor Senior students to learn and practice secure wireless communication in the setting of rescue mission type of applications [1]. The theoretical component of the course covers aspects such as cryptography, security protocols, and wireless communication protocols. On the practical side, the students’ teams design a system composed of a smartphone, a sensor network, 2-3 robots controlled through a multi-hop network, and compete for quickly localizing an object that periodically transmits a beacon message.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
