Current projects

PoSecCo

A European research project to develop techniques for building security configurations derived automatically from high-level policies, and at the same time enabling traceback from actual configurations to the original requirements to prove compliance with them.

STORK 2.0

A European project to extend the techniques and infrastructure designed in STORK to include e-ID for companies, legal persons and to represent delegation rights and

TClouds

A European research project to design and pilot an Internet-scale trustworthy cloud computing infrastructure.

Webinos

A European research project to define an open-source secure platform for the Future Internet over a broad set of devices (such as mobile phones, PC, home media, and in-car units).

Completed projects

STORK (2008-2011, EC, ICT-PSP)
