“…After receiving the primitive, the APS layer constructs a command frame according to the parameter value. e command in the command frame is APSC GET-KEY, and the data is 0x08 [19,20]. If the key type is 2, it means that the link key is requested, and if the key type is 1, it means that the network key is requested.…”

In the process of implementing the Internet of Things, the object itself has identity information and identification equipment and encounters difficulties in communication security during the process of entering the network communication. Just like the Internet and wireless sensor networks, there are security issues in information transmission. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the mobile Internet of Things network security technology depression to protect the communication information in the mobile Internet of Things. This paper mainly studies the network security technology of intelligent information terminal based on mobile Internet of Things. This article will analyze and compare the mainstream encryption algorithms of the current mobile Internet and choose a safer and more secure HASH algorithm. We study the flow of key management, key generation, key distribution, verification key distribution, key update, key storage, key backup, and key validity time setting for mobile Internet of Things, using an existing identity cryptosystem. Based on encryption, the design technology of key management and authentication in this paper is improved. Compared with other methods, the storage consumption of this method on GWN is relatively medium. In the initial stage, the storage is 32 bytes, then in registration stage 1, it reaches 84 bytes, in registration stage 2, it is 82 bytes, and then, in the login authentication phase, the number of bytes rose and reached 356 bytes in authentication phase 3. Experimental results show that this protocol has certain advantages in ensuring safety performance.

“…In order to increase student participation and interest, the instructor has used gamification [8] and competition-based learning in this particular course in the past [1]. Moreover, the instructor has been using video clips in his classes because he believes in the power of the specific medium [9].…”

A pilot effort to raise students’awareness on the human factors of cybersecurityand cybercrime is presented. One day, instead oflectures, a commercial film was projected. Thestudents were able to identify most of the cyberattacksrelated to the technical backgroundgiven in the course, while they missed some of thefrauds committed by the actors, related to thepsycho-social and legal dimensions, which werenot covered in the syllabus. The students hadthe opportunity to acquire some insight aboutthe latter while enjoying the movie. The wholeexperiment was evaluated positively. Thus, it becameclear to the students that cybersecurity hasalso a psycho-social dimension which should notbe underestimated.

“…Adversarial thinking has already been studied as an important skill for cyber security, Hamman et al [7] propose that cyber security students should learn about basic game theory concepts in order to improve their strategic reasoning abilities. Similar to Schneider [12], our work aims to teach cyber security to students at university level.…”

We hardly pass any day without hearing of a new cyber attack. The recent ever-increasing occurrence of such attacks has given to researchers, practitioners and others an opportunity to raise awareness and train staff from the public and private institutions, as well as other people within the society, about the evolving nature of cyberspace threats. As a first step in this process, we aim to present main findings from a pilot study conducted with a target group of Master students with diverse backgrounds and knowledge about cyber security practices. The study was done using an agent-based simulation tool, CyberAIMs, as the core component of the experiment. Students were involved in a pre-test/post-test study in order to assess the probable change in their thinking process after using CyberAIMs. A scenario created from a real cyber case was additionally used to get the participants accustomed to the tool. The experiment is still in progress, while preliminary data indicate that there is a shift in students' perspective on the most relevant attributes affecting defense agents' performance, results that could be related to both adversarial and systems thinking processes.
