Real Trustworthy Systems

Real Trustworthy Systems

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, digital twins, programmable networks, metaverse and augmented reality and the required data processing will only happen in a trustworthy manner if the systems running the software and processing the data are themselves trustworthy.

Technologies such as trusted and confidential computing, cloud orchestration and the whole range of machine learning and data processing technologies all must be properly integrated such that the system as a whole can provide a trustworthy platform that the users and developers can depend upon.

Providing for trust acrosss a system comprising of many individual pieces of hardware and software, scattered from centralised systems to geographically scattered edge and mobile computing and IoT devices is complex. Current attestation, trust and monitoring technologies do not fully support this level of security.

We propose to extend systems for providing trust and make this a first class property for trustworthy data processing and computation. Such trust will be part of the infrastrucure, eg: as an inherent and integral part of 6G (and 5G!), as part of the cloud orchestration so that AI workload and data is placed in appropriate safe locations.

Applying this to verticals such as medical, railway, aerospace etc must be done in a way that they can expect a trusted system. We envisage a close collaboration with such verticals to drive and prove the validity of such integrated security topics.
