Cyber Security Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Software Bill of Materials Checker

This Cyber Security final year project investigates finding incomplete component records in a generated software inventory using authorised, synthetic or consented evidence within a defined defensive study.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused investigation of finding incomplete component records in a generated software inventory makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use missing components, identifier validity and validation runtime to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.

How effectively does software bill of materials checker address finding incomplete component records in a generated software inventory, assessed through missing components, identifier validity and validation runtime?

Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on finding incomplete component records in a generated software inventory.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to finding incomplete component records in a generated software inventory.
  2. 02Generate inventories for owned sample packages, validate required fields and compare transitive dependency coverage with independently listed components.
  3. 03Evaluate missing components, identifier validity and validation runtime and document residual limitations.

A suggested research approach

Generate inventories for owned sample packages, validate required fields and compare transitive dependency coverage with independently listed components. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse missing components, identifier validity and validation runtime without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.

What you will need

  • Owned sample packages
  • SBOM schema
  • Reference component inventory

Keep your project scope clear

Inventory completeness does not prove that listed components are safe or correctly licensed.
