Thesis

• MSc. Thesis: IoT device touchscreen user interface integration.
  Adding a touchscreen to an IoT device has a number of benefits for both the user and the developer: a more useful, versatile, intuitive and aesthetically pleasing end product, and a flexible way to debug code. However, it also brings with it a number of issues that need to be addressed: economic, memory, space and energy consumption costs, as well as an increase in development complexity. This project creates a library that makes it easy and intuitive for developers to create menus and user interfaces on a microcontroller’s touch screen. In this way, it overcomes the entry barrier of adding the screen to an IoT device. The library is open source and general purpose. The menus were developed following a standard software development flow. It started with the design and then programmed the designed user interfaces. A simulator was used to test the implemented code and once debugged, everything was tested on a real development kit. A search and comparison of libraries and devices was carried out to determine which graphics library was most suitable for the project and which development environment was most suitable for testing.
• BSc. Thesis: BLEPass: Hardware Password Manager using Bluetooth Web.
  The use of passwords as we know them has several security problems and we have not yet reached the point where more secure forms are widely used. This project aims to reduce the risk of passwords being stolen and, if a password is stolen, to minimise the possible damage by not having to memorise them and to be able to use random passwords. A hardware module has been implemented in which the user’s passwords for different websites are stored. The user can obtain and autofill the password field of the website or save a new password. If the user wants to save a new password, a new one can be generated randomly. This eliminates the need for the user to remember the password. Communication between the two parts of the system has been done via a BLE connection, using Web Bluetooth in the case of the browser extension. A test has also been implemented. It performs several unit tests to check if the functional requirements of the system are met.
