Assignment Description

Smart home or home automation technology provides homeowners’ security, comfort, convenience and
energy efficiency by enabling them to control smart devices, via an app on their smartphone or other
networked device. This technology enables you doing things such as turn the lights on/off, stream music to a
speaker, lock/open the doors remotely, and much more.

This assignment aims to simulate a smart home using IoT technology in Cisco Packet Tracer. Students will
purely practice with the IoT component offered by the Cisco Packet Tracer to be used in the home. Those IoT
devices will be connected to the home WLAN that enables the users to control the things through wireless
technology. The users should also be able to control the things when they are outside home (remote access).
This means the WLAN should be connected to a global network that enables the users to have control on
devices when they are at work. Hence, there is another WLAN at work that is connected to the global network.
Note, you need to make sure that the WLANs are secure.

This assignment requires the students to design, analyse, and implement a smart home, considering the ethical
implications. The students are required to complete the following tasks and submit a report on Moodle.

1. Explore the ethical implications in the design and implementation of WLANs.

2. Design, analysis, and implementation of a smart home WLAN and an enterprise WLAN where the
following aspects of security should be considered:

a. Confidentiality
b. Integrity
c. Availability
d. Authentication
e. Authorization

3. Test and prove a successful of connectivity between users and IoT devices when they are at home and
when they are at work. You need to take a snapshot for each step of testing followed by the
explanation.

4. Demonstration in Week 11 during the Lab.

The tutor will assign the groups, maximum number of students in a group is 4 and the students in each group
should be from the same lab.
