CI7160 (Mobile Security) Coursework Part A (Secure Mobile App Design Implementation and Testing)PART -A CI7160 (Mobile Security) Coursework Part A (Secure Mobile App Design Implementation and Testing) SYNOPSIS In this assignment you need to create a secure mobile application (‘app’) based on the Android platform and to demonstrate and explain its functionality and security features. For achieving a top grade an awareness of appropriate software development methodologies and evidence of testing (including that of security features) needs to be demonstrated. Secure Mobile App You can create any type of mobile Android application you wish or you can use the code from one of the workshops or select an existing Open Source project and extend that to add further functionality This needs to involve at least one wireless communication functionality and a substantial security feature in your app by either expanding on the ideas given in the workshops or by implementing your own approach. You are advised to discuss your idea with the module leader before you start work on it. You may use code from other libraries and APIs (including cryptographic libraries) but if you do you must clearly indicate what code you have written yourself and all code you have taken from elsewhere otherwise you may be found guilty of plagiarism. Please note that you need to acknowledge and reference the sources of any code you might use that you have not written. Software Demonstration At the software demonstration you will be expected to demonstrate the functionality of your app explain your security testing methodologies and results obtained explain the code you have written and answer questions about it. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA – MARKING SCHEME This weighting of this coursework component contributes 20% of the overall available module marks with the secure mobile app implementation accounting for 15% and the software demonstration for 5%. Your overall mark will be awarded following the marking scheme below (all allocated marks are relative to the overall module grade). Secure Mobile App – 15% Security Feature (Strengths Limitations Follows Current Industrial-Strength Standards) – 10% Real-World Usefulness Usability Works on a Real Device Documentation and Quality of Code – 5% Software Demonstration – 5% Successful Demonstration of Wireless Communication Functionality and Security Features Clarity of Explanations Quality of Discussions and Answering of Questions Evidence of Effective Use of Development Tools and Testing
