Description: |
The overall objective of the
Security Expert INITiative (SEINIT) project is to ensure a trusted and
dependable information security framework, ubiquitous, working across
multiple devices, heterogeneous networks, being organisation independent
(inter-operable) and centered around an end-user. | |
| Relevance to HYDRA: |
SEINIT project delivers new
security models to design innovative security architectures, the
security policies addressing the existing and coming threats, and the
components to build network infrastructures. Project is considering V2V
(Virtual to Virtual) virtualization paradigm aiming to inspire trust and
ensure the security of heterogeneous "infospheres",
communities, networks and infrastructures. The V2V virtualization
paradigm is for creating an end-to-end, progressively adaptive security
system across heterogeneous and mobile virtual worlds. Virtualization is
a powerful principle used to conceive a heterogeneous computerized
reality in a different manner by reducing its visible complexity.
Control of privacy is left with the user while the framework applies the
appropriate level of security. SEINIT designed the framework security
protocols and technologies as components. When new security components
or technologies emerge, they can be added to the framework. A separate
EU project DISCREET will design and develop the user interface. | |
