Overview

Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.

There is a growing need for secure communication systems based on internet technologies to support information sharing between organizations. For example, infrastructure operators need to share highly sensitive information (vulnerability reports, incident reports etc.) to support critical infrastructure protection activities in the telecommunications, finance and energy sectors. Sensitive information requires controlled distribution and ongoing control over dissemination and usage of a form of Digital Rights Management. One of the key challenges in dissemination control is establishing trust in client platforms that connect to the information sharing network. This project will investigate a combination of trusted computing, secure operating systems, hardware virtualisation, cryptographic access control and a peer-to-peer network underlay for storage and distribution to provide a high-assurance information sharing environment.
