Integration of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) into a
NIOS II system
Area: IT Security / SW Development
Description
Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) are mainly integrated in Office PCs. The interface used with
a PC (LPC) is not suited for use in small embedded devices like the NIOS II platform. But there
also exists TPMs with an I2C interface which might be a good option to be used with
embedded platforms.
Assignment of tasks
The goal of this Project is to connect a TPM with an I2C-Interface with a NIOS II development
board. In particular, in carrying out this project work you should
learn TPM basics,
integrate an I2C IP-core in Alteras NIOS II system,
develop a basic software module to test the communication with the TPM.
Prerequisites: Programming knowhow in VHDL / C

Tunneling layer 2 protocols over IPSec
Area: Network Security
Description
With IPSec there exists a layer 3 protocol to secure IP traffic. To secure protocols which are
defined on layer 2 of the ISO/OSI model (like Ethernet based protocols to be used in
industrial automation application) the usage of IPSec with a tunneling protocol might be an
option.
Assignment of tasks
The goal of this project work is to evaluate layer 2 tunneling protocols. In particular, in
carrying out this project work you should
identify tunneling protocols which are suitable to be used with IPSec,
build up a test system to evaluate the operation of these protocols,
measure the performance overhead introduced by the application of tunneling
protocols.
Prerequisites: Good knowledge about network protocols

Vulnerability tests of industrial automation
components
Area: Network Security
DescriptionThis project work will be carried out in the context of the research project VuTAT (Vulnerabi-
lity Tests of AT-Components). The main target of VuTAT is the development of a framework
to analyze and identify vulnerabilities of different components used in the field of
automation (AT), which are using Ethernet based communication protocols. The framework
shall allow an easy application by a non IT security specialist, in particular by developers and
quality assurance personnel during the product development and testing phases. Finally, a
PC based test environment has to be developed, which allows an almost automated
application of the framework.
Within the VuTAT project a document describing known vulnerabilities or weaknesses of
Ethernet based protocols and their implementations has been compiled. This document will
be called VuTAT-DOC in the following project description.
Assignment of tasks Identify and evaluate available test cases (NASL scripts) from an OpenVAS standard
installation that are related to vulnerabilities described in VuTAT-DOC. These test
cases should be generic in the sense that they do not depend on specific properties
(operating system, etc.) of the components to be tested.
Develop new NASL scripts to test vulnerabilities described in VuTAT-DOC, but not
sufficiently covered by scripts contained in the OpenVAS standard installation.
If necessary, integrate some functionality in the OpenVAS implementation that allows
reacting on external events (failure status indicated by some external test device).
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge about network protocols and programming.

Area: Cognitive Radios
Title:Performance Analysis of Intelligent Hole Detection (IHD) Method.
Description
Spectral hole detection provides the base for cognitive decision making. Traditional hole
detection methods are dumb, in a sense that they merely provide knowledge about the
instant occupancy of the sensed band and amplitude of the primary signal. Consequently,underlying radio platform can not fully exploit orthogonal oppertunities available in
coexisting environments. As an example, a radio system capable fo choosing CDMA don t
need to switch frequency or find temporal gaps in current channel if it can know that a
CDMA based primary user is active. It can simply choose an orthogonal code to safly coexist
in an already occupied channel. Similarly, there can be many other orthogonal oppertunities
with repect to polarization, diversity, MIMO etc. all of which needs enough situational
knowledge. Intellegent hole detection provides this situational knowledge, which requires
identification of coexiting systems and inclusion of a radio knowledge base (RKB) for
documented information of primary systems of interest.
There are two important constituents of IHD, one is situational knowledge and the other oneis a radio platform capable to tune available orthogonal oppertunities. This project is
proposed to implement a 2-FSK based system which can optionally choose CDMA and can
tune its frequency and transmission power and implements traditional energy detection
based energy sensing (but not signal classification). Eventually, a reconfiguerable platform
will be availabe that would be able to exploit frequency, time, power and code dimensions.
While doing experiments for comparison of dumb hole detection (DHD) and IHD, perticular
coexisting scenerio will be created and hardcoded to the IHD based system as proxy to
classification based situational knowledge. A USRP2 based system should be used for
implementation.

Title: Energy consumption / billing monitor for charging mobile devices
Description
Mobile robots are typically powered electrically and need to be recharged frequently. This
charging can also be realized without a wired connection. The task is to design an energy
counter for such a wireless charging station, keeping track of the supplied robots and
accumulating the individual energy consumption. This includes implementing a serial
interface to the charger, reading specific parameters and visualizing the supplied energy on a
PC.

Title: Measuring small capacitances to achieve a position detection
DescriptionAccurate position detection has always been an important field within the automation
industry. One way to retrieve the position on a defined linear system is to evaluate a
capacitance which is related to a specific distance. There are specific ICs available for readinga capacitance and converting it into a digital value (Analog Devices AD7151, for instance).
The task is to implement a capacitance-to-digital converter, test it on a given linear system
and visualize the measured values.

Area: Cognitive Radio
Title: Statistical Parameter Estimation Using Narrowband Sensors
Description
Modeling transmission characteristics is useful for decision making in cognitive radio systems
and the identification of a good model highly relays on the quality of training data. While,the quality of the training data depends on two properties, these are noiselessness and
completeness. Narrowband sensing platforms are expected to always miss some radio
events which makes the completeness a unique limitation of these platforms. As a solution,
it is proposed to formulate the narrowband sensing as a problem of learning using
incomplete training data.
The primary intention is to investigate learning methods that can allow estimating statistical
parameters (such as mean, variance, arrival rate etc.) of transmission characteristics of radio
systems with a comparable accuracy to that of wideband sensors. For proof of concept
suitable state-of-the-art modeling methods (For example linear prediction coefficient,
Poisson based model, Markov Models etc.) can be used to compare the performance ofsuggested narrowband parameter estimation methods with that of wideband methods.
Proposed method needs to be implemented using USRP2 based platform and its
performance should be compared in 2.4 GHz ISM band with real-time spectrum analyzer,
which will be taken as a reference wideband sensor.

Title: Predictive Modeling for Coexistence Optimization using Markov Models
Description:
Typically, cognitive radio systems either sense the channel just before transmission or
perform this task periodically in order to remain aware about the operational environment.The former method is typically known as reactive sensing, while the latter one as proactive
sensing. Apart from when to sense, both methods are similar in nature, because both
methods decides about the availability of sensed channel on the basis of information
obtained during the sensing process. However, a channel sensed as free can become busy
during the transmission of cognitive system resulting in harmful collision and unnecessary
interruption for the cognitive radio system.
As a solution, a predictive modeling based approach is has been proposed and has shown
promising results in simulated environments. Since real-time dynamic environments offer
unique challenges that can not be fairly represented using simulations, it is necessary to
realize real-time demonstrators. An additional restriction is to research the use of MarkovModels in this demonstrator as they are already being used successfully in other wireless
application (for example Viterbi Algorithm).
USRP2 based system should be used for this demonstrator. (However, it is possible to define
this project only for simulated environments with slightly changed specification)

Title: An analysis of methods and algorithms used to predict and detect topology changesin the hybrid wired-wireless networks.
Description:
In the hybrid wired-wireless network systems the topology may change dynamically due tothe mobile nodes moving along their paths. Such changes may require some efforts to
guarantee that the Quality of Service (QoS) of the critical nodes (communicating in real-time)
will be satisfied. Therefore, it is vital to know in advance when such topology change
happens and how the topology will look like.

Master-IT: Project work WS 2011/2012Area: Real-time Ethernet: 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB)
The broad range of industrial applications leads to many different requirements, which must
be fulfilled by real-time communication systems. Because of the low cost and higher data
transfer speed, industrial automation vendors adopted the Ethernet to enable such real-time
communication. Since the existing Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) cannot meet stringent timing
requirements, many extensions are introduced during the last decade to improve the temporal
behaviour. One of the emerging protocol is IEEE 802.1 AVB which is an enhancement to the
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. In addition to standard Ethernet, AVB supports precise
synchronization, traffic shaping for media streams, admission controls, and identification of
non-participating devices. Since AVB is an emerging standard, there exist several topics that
require further investigation. Some open topics include:
Topic 1: Evaluating 802.1 QAT in relation with configuration requirements of
industrial networks
Description: 802.1 AVB based network works without engineering tool (the networkconfigures itself as Plug-and-Play). In industrial communication systems for the planning of
IO devices and PLC programming, specialized communication planning engineering tool are
used. It will be interesting to investigate how that fits together? A simulation model
demonstrating possible mechanisms.
Topic 2: Investigation of redundancy options for 802.1 AVB based industrialnetworks
Description: Evaluation of various possibilities of redundancy support for 802.1 AVBbased industrial network. What extensions may require in AVB sub specifications? A
simulation model demonstrating possible mechanisms and case studies.
Topic 3: 802.1 AVB based traffic classification in relation to industrial
networks
Description: Ethernet AVB infrastructure to transport state of the art real time Ethernet(RTE) protocols. Tunnelling the RTE communication through the AVB network. What are
the performance impacts to the network latency? A simulation to evaluate QoS characteristics.
For the functional and performance evaluation of communication networks, discrete event
simulation approach is widely used (e.g OMNet ++). Which require some skills in the
programming language C++ and basic knowledge in statistics.

Title:Development of a RESTful Web Service to Access Test and Measurement
Instruments with SCPI interfaces
Project Background:
For automated test and measurement tasks, modern electronic test and measurementinstruments (oscilloscopes, analyzers, generators, multimeters) communicate with computer
systems via a LAN, USB, or GPIB interface using Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI). The range of application programs and instrument drivers is dominated
by platform dependent, proprietary software products (e.g. LabView by National
Instruments). This project intends to bring object oriented, web enabled, platform
independent software technology to this kind of applications.
Project Aim:
The idea is, that an SCPI equipped instrument offers its capabilities as a RESTful Web service
using the platform independant Java technology. Since there is a broad range of differentequipment offering 3 kinds of computer interfaces (LAN, USB, or GPIB), object orientedgeneralization structures should be used to classify instruments, instrument commands, and
hardware interfaces. Via the RESTful web interface, it must be possible to initialize an
instrument, sent any SCPI command to it, and receive its response.
To test the RESTful web services for various instruments, a prototype Web application
should be developed, that lets a user enter SCPI commands and displays the data returned
from the instrument.
The Design Problems to Solve: Finding a suitable abstraction for the hardware interfaces
Finding a suitable abstraction for the class of he instrument Finding a suitable classification scheme for the SCPI commands

Topic: Adaptive Error detection in surfaces
Area: Industrial Image Processing
Start: September 2011
Partner: Industry Project
Tool: Matlab/SimulinkPrequisites: Programming know-how in Matlabs m-language
Description:
The surface inspection accords a high importance in industrial production, because the product
quality depends on the visual representation apart from the reliable functionality. Especially in the
area of mass-production there is a general need for fast and automated surface inspection.
The aim of this project is to localise errors in homogeneous and slightly granular surfaces. The
algorithm has to be adapted to the surface by estimating the main spatial frequencies in the imagesand afterwards using this information to cluster the surface structure and topology. The defect
detection is done by calculating local statistics based on the probability density without the need for
training specific references.

Description:
Learning a Fuzzy-Pattern-Classifer is nowadays still heuristically driven. Automatic training
approaches may help improving learning situations, for example when only a small number
of training examples are available. The PMFPC approach was addressed recently, but may

Topic:
Evaluation of a Multi-Platform ProcessMonitoringArchitecture for Distributed
Industrial NetworksProcess monitoring is a more and more important task for automation systems today. In terms
of condition and energy monitoring, lots of data has to be collected accurately. It is desirable,
for machine diagnosis and process optimization,to make the data available in a versatile and
standardized way.The Fraunhofer IOSB-INA implemented a Software Architecture for this
purposes which has to be tested accurately. This architecture is able to monitor process data
exchanged via industrial Ethernet protocols like PROFINET, EtherCAT or Modbus/TCP
and it can provide the process data together with a certain semantic to several Clients via theOPC UA technology.
First, different software testing approaches like
- Fuzzing- White Box / Black Box Tests- Equivalence Partitioning- Boundary Analysis- Error Guessing- Stress Test- Etc.
should be evaluated and the appropriate testing methods for this special architecture have to
be chosen. Secondly, it should then be used to test the functionality of single modules as well
as the complete system functionality.
If you are interested in this special topic and have a strong focus on the following interests
you could be the perfect fit for us:

Topic:
Using AutomationML for extraction of
information for PLC programmingThe engineering of manufacturing systems has been changed within the last years.Based on
the increasing application of intelligent software tools the programming and configuration of
control devices can be made on higher abstraction layers than before. In parallel the usable
amount of control devices, information processing units, and engineering tools has increased.
Several vendors have developed their own tool sets to
enable a most efficient application of their devices. Hence, a very heterogeneous tool
landscape has been established. This trend will continue.
The new file format AutomationML, which is still in development state, tries to overcome the
very heterogeneous tool landscape by providing a unique format for exchange of engineeringinformation.
In a first step, the AutomationML standard has to be reviewed and evaluated for the ability to
extract useful information for PLC programming. Here, a detailed knowledge about the
process of PLC programming is useful. The aim of this work is a list of information that can
be extracted from AutomationML files.
