SERENITY: System Engineering for Security and Dependability

SERENITY aims to enhance security and dependability for AmI ecosystems by providing a framewok supporting the automated integration, configuration, monitoring and adaptation of security and dependability mechanisms for such ecosystems.

e-SENSE: Capturing Ambient Intelligence for Mobile Communications through Wireless Sensor Networks

e-SENSE aims to specify Ambient Intelligence mobile systems beyond 3G. Info-Sec-Lab is involved in the development of a comprehensive architecture for security and privacy.

SEISMED: Secure Environment for Information Systems in Medicine

The main objectives of the project were to: examine, across the EU, the legal issues of data pro­tec­tion and privacy within healthcare information systems and develop a relevant code of Ethics; develop a High Level Security Policy to enable or­ga­nizations using information systems to follow a con­sistent path.

ISHTAR: Implementing Secure Healthcare Telematics in Europe

The project aimed to activate the awareness process, and to en­sure that HCEs and Health Telematics projects are kept in touch with the legal, security, and safety issues ari­sing from the widespread utilization of Health Telematics in the context of patient care and the resulting EU recom­men­da­tions and directives.

ENCRESS: European Network of Clubs for Reliability and Safety of Software-Intensive Systems

The aim of the project was to establish a European Special Interest Group linking users, experts and practitioners with shared concerns on safety, reliability, quality and security of software-intensive systems.

EUROMED-ETS: Trusted Third Party Services for Health Care in Europe

The project aimed at identifying, defining and verifying the ope­ra­tional, organisational, technical and legal aspects of the TTPs for telemedical applications over the Web.

MEDSEC: Health Care Security and Privacy in the Information Society

The main objectives of the project were to: Codify existing and emerging standards for security and privacy in Health Care Information Systems; identify gaps in existing and emerging standards thereby recommending additional standardization work to appro­priate bodies; assess the applicability and technical feasibility of sele­cted standards via field trials thereby providing input to standardization bodies; investigate the degree of compliance with these standards of European Health Care Institutions and HC Information Systems developers; promote the awareness on the existence and usefulness of such standards among European Health Care Insti­tu­tions and HC Information Systems developers.

COSSAC: Co-ordination of security activities between Chambers of Commerce

The main objectives of this project was: To identify current and future business scenarios for Cham­bers of Commerce (CoCs), which can be handled electro­nically; to expand the CoCs functionality, which will permit them to act as a vehicle for international electronic commerce; to provide a secure link between CoCs in order to enable them to transfer documents electronically; to emphasize the use of TTP technology in promoting Electronic Commerce through CoCs.

CSI Review: Scalability of Certificate Revocation and Certificate Suspension and enhancements on the respective mechanisms

The objective was to study ways for handling large numbers of revoked certificates used in electronic signatures. The study dealt with the performance and management issues for both the use of delta CRLs and OCSP responses.

KEYSTONE: A European Cross-Domain PKI Architecture

The project developed an architecture for Electronic Trusted Services, which in­cludes an abstract reference model for TTPs, governing the activities of TTPs and the way they interact with other TTPs, with users and with applications. In addition, a functional architecture for TTPs has been pro­vided, specifying the functions supported, and the re­la­tionships and interfaces between them. The protocols, standards and technologies used to implement elements of the functional architecture have been examined, and tech­ni­cally feasible solutions have been suggested.

ERMIS: Enhanced Regional Multimedia Internet Services in the Aegean Archipelago

The main objectives of the project were: the development, management and operation of a regional application-oriented network; the Web Server Aegeas, to provide a series of multimedia services; the services that Aegeas server will provide are: the promotion of the local Small and Medium Enterprises through a rapidly growing medium (Internet); an Accommodation Selection Agent using advanced search systems through a set of predefined criteria (e.g. location, facilities offered, price, etc.); the electronic provision of services, which include accommodation, booking, and products/services purchase, with the use of modern payment options (credit cards) and secure transaction methods.

ICTE-PAN: Intelligent Collaboration and Transaction Environments in Administration Networks

The aim of the project was to develop methodologies and tools for building secure collaboration and transaction environ­ments in public administration networks.

eVOTE: An Internet-based Electronic Voting System

The main objective of the project was to design, implement, test, and validate an Internet-based electronic voting system that will provide the required services for organizing, faci­li­ta­ting, and con­duct­ing a fair voting process.

SNOCER: Low Cost Tools for Secure and Highly Available VoIP Communication Services

The project’s objectives are to design and develop tools and mechanisms for ensuring the security and availability of Voice over IP (VoIP) services.
