Proposal Ideas:
European Mobile Cyber Protection (EMCP)
Objective of Proposal Idea:
This project aims to create a comprehensive cybersecurity solution for personal mobile devices, addressing common threats like phishing, grayware, and MITM attacks. Our goal is to reduce data leaks and improve the user experience while strengthening European data sovereignty. The EMCP will reduce the number of individuals suffering of high-sensitive data leakage, improve the UX of built-in-mobile-devices cybersecurity facilities and increase the individual's ability to self cyber-protection, in addition to increased protection from cyberthreats and cybercrimes for personal mobile-devices and a strengthened European data sovereignty by improved resilience and safety.
Post Quantum 6G Networks and Services
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Securing mobile communication in a Post-Quantum world is of strategic importance for nation states. With the help of our research and development partners in academia and industry, our aim is to achieve two objectives, namely: (1) make 6G mobile networks secure using post-quantum cryptography i.e. come up with approaches to address PKI and secure messaging, and (2) explore the use of quantum computing to optimise existing networks (e.g. error correction in messages). To this end, we would like to build and test proof-of-value solutions using in-house testbed facilities at Digital Catapult (UK) and also deploy these on a partnering mobile[...]

Real Trustworthy Systems
Objective of Proposal Idea:
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[...]
Digital Plane Safe
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Aviation and aerospace have security and safety concerns that are not present nor considered in cloud-based systems for "normal" applications. If the capabilities of cloud-based systems can be extended to aviation scenarios without compromise of safety then this would have many costs, flexibility, and even environmental benefits. Furthermore, it would allow much more dynamicity in the configuration of systems, optimizations through localized and remote data processing and open a path for technologies such as AI to be utilized. Applying commodity hardware and technologies such as containerization to aviation systems would, for example, bring benefits in the amount of hardware carried,[...]
Invulnerable secure edge cloud document storage
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Holding information at the edge of the network, close to consumers, has the potential to reduce costs and energy consumption, but maintaining physical and digital security at many distributed locations is challenging. After cost, potential edge computing users cite security concerns as their biggest concern. For the most sensitive data, organisations have tended to prefer on-premises storage, with the additional security and reliability risks that this entails. Umbra Systems has a new mathematical approach to efficiently, quickly and economically split a source document into multiple shadows; each of which is provably un-decryptable, that can be distributed in an optimal manner[...]
