ICT for Societal Challenges - European Commission - Europa

SYSSEC
The project’s aims are to:
• create a virtual centre of excellence consolidating the Systems Security research
community in Europe;
• promote cyber security education and to engage a think-tank in discovering the threats
and vulnerabilities of the Current and Future Internet;
• create an active research roadmap in the area, and
• develop a joint working plan to conduct State-of-the-Art collaborative research.

Current trends in Internet applications such as Web 2.0, cloud computing, and
the Internet of Things, are bound to bring more pervasive data collection, longer
persistence of collected data, higher and more heterogeneous traffic volume. All
these factors make network management an evolving environment that becomes
more challenging every day.
The DEMONS project seeks to build a novel cooperative network monitoring and
mitigation system based on a completely decentralised, application-aware, privacypreserving,
multi-jurisdictional monitoring infrastructure. Such an infrastructure will
provide the detection, reporting and mitigation mechanisms needed to combat not
only today’s threats, but also those of tomorrow. DEMONS’s objective is to realise this
infrastructure by applying novel approaches making best use of distributed systems
technologies and their characteristics, such as the ability to handle a large amount
of data. In doing this, the project will put special emphasis on privacy, trust, and
legal issues arising from collecting and exporting data across operator domains and
multiple jurisdictions. These issues have previously prevented other security solutions
from being widely deployed and have therefore rendered them ineffective.
DEMONS
(DEcentralized, cooperative, and privacy-preserving MONitoring for trustworthiness)
The project will present demonstrators in several environments that also address privacy,
trust, and legal issues that are caused by moving data across different domains and
jurisdictions.
