Lead: University of Coimbra

Start: August 2020

End: June 2022

Goal: The goal of this activity is to address all the security and privacy issues introduced by the edgefication of certain components, including intrusion detection and tolerance at the multiple levels of the architecture, secure communication channels, security and privacy at data management level and a management system that monitors the security status of the system.

Security and privacy of data is achieved not only by providing a high-performance decentralized data store designed for fast sharing of ephemeral data in distributed setting but also with concerns of privacy during processing, namely risk of re-identification/deanonymization. The security monitoring and actuation will develop a management system that monitors the security status of the system, and when possible, acts upon the system to adapt and improve, and a system to provide auditable assurances of the network functions being run in the edge.
