Single-Sign-On (SSO) is one of the dominant sign on mechanisms for the web. Though implementations of SSO are known for quite some year, with implementations from e.g. myopenid.org and Feide, they have only recently reached the mass market. Social networks like LinkedIN, Facebook and Google allow for SSO or rather remote authentication, which is then used for access authorisation of specific tasks on the server of the requiring party.
Current Single-Sign-On Systems are only delivering the "yes/no" authentication string back to requiring party. This binary authentication is not state-of-the-art, as it does not provide any information of the role of the person in the remote organisation or the trust-level resulting from the authentication. Advanced access systems include the notation of roles (RBAC) or even attributes (ABAC). Semantic technologies are seen as enablers for context information, which can be add as on of the attributes in an ABAC system.
This master thesis consists of research around the topic of authentication methods. We are interested what different kinds of policies that are available to us, third party authentication and what other purposes does the authentication mechanism (e.g. password) have other than pure authentication for common platforms (UNIX, Windows and OSX). The main purpose here is to find the effect of each method/policy that are available to us and henceforth theorize on some best practices.
This thesis will establish a model describing the cost-/benefit analysis for a company providing advanced authentication mechanisms, including SSO. A specific focus is on the use of passwords, as they are seen to be critical both with respect to security, but also with respect to usability.
The envisaged outcome of the thesis is a policy-based decision tree, allowing companies to define a required security level, and then adopt criteria which will met this required security. Common- and best-praxis examples are foreseen to elaborate on how close industrial solutions are to satisfy the security policy in conjunction with an easy-to-use algorithm.
During this lecture we will continue the discussion of the differences between Protege, OWL, SPARQL (and Jena) APIs.
The expected outcome is a comparison between the APIs. +

Based on the Report of the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, " The Age of Digital Interdependence ", https://digitalcooperation.org, UNICEF has taken the lead to support the recommendations 1A and 1B:
1A: We recommend that by 2030, every adult should have affordable access to digital networks, as well as digitally-enabled financial and health services, as a means to make a substantial contribution to achieving the SDGs…
1B: We recommend that a broad, multi-stakeholder alliance, involving the UN, create a platform for sharing digital public goods, ….
The Basic Internet Foundation is mentioned in the report: "One example of building internet access around community needs, in this case health, is a collaboration between the Basic Internet Foundation and health centres in Tanzania; see Vision 2030, available at https://www.vision2030.no/index.php/en/visjon2030-projects/non-discriminating-access-for-digital-inclusion.
Having suggest the combination of 1A and 1B as "free access to digital public goods", work is ongoing to define both the network architecture and sustainable business models supporting this claim.
The suggested work will focus on how to endorse Digital Inclusion through the free access to DPGs and the combined implementation of 1A and 1B. +
Smart sensors are introduced into both home and office buildings. The focus is often on integration, rather than achieving the business objectives. This thesis establishes business objectives in the operation of smart office environments, and integrates sensors to reach the business objectives. The following steps are included:
* Describing the business-based use case for operation of small-medium enterprises (SME) office space
* Establishing of key performance indicators (KPIs) for business-based office operation
* Comparison to state of the art in IoT platforms (e.g. OpenHAB, Fiware...)
* Suggestion novel functionality for a semantic integration of heterogeneous IoT devices
* Identification of IoT sensors contributing to the business goals
* Integration of these IoT sensors
* Measuring and analysis of the business KPIs
* Evaluation of the established solution +

The Norwegian Institute for Air Pollution monitoring has initiated the project CITI-SENSE-MOB on Mobile Air Pollution measurements. Mobile sensor platforms are going to be installed on busses, cars and bicycles to achieve a wider distribution of measurements, as compared to the limited number of fixed stations.
The goal of this thesis is to develop a recommender system for air quality while travelling. Travelling to work might happen by foot, bicycle, public transportation or other means. The thesis will address the variability of measured air quality indicators both in time and space, e.g. indicating the variation from major roads to smaller roads or from cycling along major roads towards cycling through green cycling tracks. The mobile data will be combined with sensor data from other sources, e.g. the meteorological office or from the fixed air quality stations in order to establish the model of variability. Predictions of air quality, taking into account correlation of certain measurements and predictions, will then provide an estimated value for air pollution along the way. +
This thesis will investigate possibilities for deducing good learning paths to subjects by applying the Ant Colony Optimisation algorithm to a dynamic knowledge graph populated asynchronously by cooperative human learners. Today knowledge about online learning resources are not shared systematically. A framework for collecting and sharing online learning resources will be developed using semantic web technology and used by students at Bergen University College. +
Discussion on Antennas and their communication parameters +
Microsoft has established an IoT security framework, to automatically assess the security of IoT systems and networks. While principles are in place, the applicability of the framework needs to be elaborated.
This thesis focusses on energy control of home devices, e.g. heat pump, radiators, warm water production, car charging, in order to move the top consumption from the morning and afternoon peaks to times with less demands. Several new wireless interfaces for home control have been established, notably Thread and IEEE802.xxx(?). The thesis will perform a security analysis of an advanced smart home with IoT energy control. +

Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) have lead to increased efficiency in may types of organisations and industries, ...
An IPS system may consist of only one technology, or be a hybrid of two or more technologies, examples of which being RFID, Wifi, Ultrasound and Ultra-Wideband (UWB).
The technology assessment showed that UWB is probably the best technology for use in indoor positioning systems. UWB ....
Wifi is a good choice for open indoor environments such as office or class rooms where some level of positioning error is accepted. The testing program build in this thesis, including the proposed positioning methods, show that it is possible to create a low cost indoor positioning system by re-using the existing wireless network infrastructure and still achieve an acceptable level of accuracy +
The Consumer Services of Norway (Forbrukerrådet) have established a report on privacy in Apps "App-Fail". In there they have found breach of privacy by apps. They identified a lack of "understandable privacy" as the main challenge. This thesis will

* starting from "privacy by design", and identifying input parameters for "privacy"
* Adopt the multi-metrics methodology for converting input parameters of privacy into measurable privacy
* suggestion for privacy classes, following the European energy labelling
* provide at least two usage scenarios of devices/applications, e.g. sporting device ("speedometer") or child doll
* criteria and evaluation of privacy labels +
