Detecting Integrity Manipulation by Authenticated IoT Sensor Nodes at a Resource-Constrained Edge Gateway
MIO-3 Master's Project / planned Master's thesis direction · Research scope October 2026
MSc Internet of Things & Intelligent Systems
The project asks whether a Raspberry Pi 5 can detect manipulated but syntactically valid measurements from an authenticated MQTT sensor node. A statistical baseline, Isolation Forest and One-Class SVM will be compared separately in an isolated testbed. The scope has not received final formal approval as a Master's thesis topic.

Longer-term research direction
After completing my current master's studies, I am seriously considering doctoral research. I am particularly interested in secure IoT and edge systems, and in security mechanisms whose effectiveness and resource cost can be evaluated experimentally.
