Autonomous systems used for infrastructure protection

Closed

Code: 19740 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-INFRA-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 23/11/2022

The increasing interconnectivity of infrastructures has also led to bigger complexity in regards to the detection and response to incidents and certain technologies can be misused to conduct attacks or targeted disruptions of infrastructures. It could however also be relevant for possible incidents with land- or sea borne devices approaching at very high speed. In order to allow for the best possible detection of threats and quick response and restoration of performance levels (e. g. through decontamination of the affected material/person; detection as well as mitigation of a risk), autonomous systems for infrastructure protection are a promising field of research.

Increased foresight capacity for security

Digital infrastructures together with their connected devices are characterised by complex interdependencies involving various physical and logical layers and connecting a wide range of legacy IT solutions and innovative technologies. Their availability, controlled performance and reliability need to be guaranteed at every moment serving the needs, sometimes critical and safety-related e.g. in transportation, energy, healthcare, of millions of citizens, enterprises and society. Therefore, they need to be protected in real-time against ever-evolving cybersecurity threats.

Trustworthy methodologies, tools and data security “by design” for dynamic testing of potentially vulnerable, insecure hardware and software components

Closed

Code: 19694 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-CS-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 16/11/2022

Trustworthy methodologies and tools for advanced analysis and verification, and dynamic testing of potentially vulnerable, insecure hardware and software components calls for good practices for system security, with a particular focus on software development tools, IT security metric and guidelines for secure products and services throughout their lifetime. A holistic methodology is needed, integrating runtime methods for monitoring and enforcement as well as design-time methods for static analysis and programme synthesis, which allows for the construction of secure systems with the strongest possible formal guarantees. 

Transition towards Quantum-Resistant Cryptography

Closed

Code: 19691 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2022-CS-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/06/2022 | End submission calls: 16/11/2022

Opportunities in quantum technologies should be seized.
The digital data/products/systems that derive their security ultimately from the abovementioned primitives will be compromised and must be upgraded -including their replacement when needed- to quantum-resistant cryptography. Many companies and governments cannot afford to have their protected communications/data decrypted in the future. There is a need to advance in the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography.
