Trust and Security architecture and services

The purpose of this project is to design trust and security architectures that automate and simplify the implementation and operation of security tolls of networks and ICT systems.

Today all the systems that manage the security are characterized by the complexity of their major functions like identification, authentication, access control and data protection. The implementation of these functions is usually and objectively based on a trusted model that uses a trusted architecture, which is the platform of the security architectures. The purpose of the project is to work on the trust IT infrastructures in all the steps of their life cycle from the design, as security and resilience, up to the operations when facing attacks and breakdowns. The approach is to automate and have a dynamic trust infrastructure that interacts automatically with the security infrastructure. So the authorisations, exceptions and more generally all the security management are done by the system itself. This is the goal of the trust platform. The purpose is to go with and reinforce the security and resilience of the cyberspace, IT infrastructure, networks, systems and services. The research works will look on the trust models: - Definition of the trust itself: total, partial, delegated; - design of the various trust models (based on reputation, frequenting or surveillance, security or redundancy mechanisms) for systems, networks, services, hardware or software component, architecture, - specification of the protocols to instil the trust, - definition of the parameters to measure the trust in real time in a system, - estimation of the trust by a user or operator.

Security of network and ICT systems,
Trust architectures and protocols,
Security and trust services.

We are looking for partners having the knowledge in designing, developing, implementing, deploying and/or operating services security services and applications. Knowledge on security and trust architectures.

- Definition and design of the trust models with the other partners, - specification of the protocols with the other partners, - implementation of the protocols on equipment for demonstration purposes.

Other research organization who work on security related topics like Identity Management and Privacy, Software house and editor developing network and ICT systems security applications, Access network equipment manufacturer who manage users profiles, Provider of on-line security and trust services. End-users who could evaluate the trust and security level.
