Advanced Topics in IT Security Assignment - Research Paper

Learning Outcomes - This assignment addresses the following learning outcomes:

  • Evaluate approaches to the management of IT Security
  • Investigate, summarise and review contemporary topics in IT security
  • Apply ideas from research and current practices to address problems of IT system security

Assignment Description - This assignment is individual, and consists of two parts

(i) Write a paper with a total size of 1500 words in the ACM SIG template (excluding references).

(ii) Record a presentation video about your paper and submit it.

Part I - Research Paper

The paper should contain at least the following sections. Note that you may add sections and subsections to improve the paper and its structure; for example, you may want to organise the literature review in sub-sections.

1. An abstract provides a compact summary of the report, which hightlight what you have done, and usually include the major findings and their significance. It is very important that based on the abstract a reader should be able to tell whether your paper will be useful to them. (ideally 200-300 words)

2. An introduction summarizes your research question and its context/ background (such as trends, statistics, recent developments in the field), the practical relevance of this question, the initial goal of your paper (how you expected to answer your research question), the relevance of the question for practitioners or researchers, how you did answer your question, and how the paper is structured.

3. A critical analysis of existing literature relevant to your research question. Identify any interesting results, insights, how effective are the proposed methods, and their limitations. Where applicable, also review relevant practices from high quality sources. Additionally, consider the extent to which methods proposed in research papers have been tested in industry. Due to the constraint on page number, only consider the most relevant, recent papers in the field.

4. Based on the drawbacks and limitation identified in this field, propose and discuss a possible (future) direction to improve or overcome some of these drawbacks. You may also discuss the mitigations or counter measures collected from research and/or current practices that minimise or avoid issues identified by the literature review.

Note that you do not have to develop a method (since it is out of scope of this assignment), but only provide some interesting thoughts and discussion on a possible direction (i.e., mainly expressing your idea).

5. A conclusion drawing conclusions about what you have achieved, reflecting on your initial goal, and summarize the main findings.

Part II - Presentation

Presentation time: 15 minutes (max).

You have to do the followings (similar concept to a viva that you will do for your project):

1. Prepare a power-point slideshow about your research paper.

2. The slides should be well-structured (Introduction, Literature review, Discussion/Main findings, Conclusion)

3. Keep strictly the 15 minutes.
