CI7160 (Mobile Security) Coursework Part B (Secure Mobile App Functional Specification and Report)
SYNOPSIS
The aim of this coursework is to write a technical report containing a description of the functionality of the
secure app of Coursework Part A that you have implemented, including a presentation and analysis of its security
features, and a brief review of the technology underlying its mobile communication mechanisms and protocols
and related security.
The description of the functionality would be like a functional specification and will include basic documentation,
screenshots, and any known issues or limitations.
The presentation and analysis of the security features of your app need to justify the strengths of the security
that your implementation may have, by explaining the secure design, coding and testing methodology that you
have undertaken when developing your app. It also needs to identify potential weaknesses based on the
knowledge you have acquired on overarching principles underpinning mobile security.
The review of the technology needs to put the specific implemented mechanisms into the broader picture of the
wireless principles and protocols that were explained in the lectures.
