Secure Estimation and Control Using Recursion and Encryption (SECURE)

This project addresses the pressing topic of a secure ICT platform for operation and management of connected societies. By secure, the proposal means guaranteeing the correctness of operational decisions and maintaining data-privacy of the involved parties. In particular, the latter goes beyond the current state-of- theart solutions, which involve trusted third parties.

Connected societies are combinations of socio-, cyber- and physical systems. Examples of cyber-physical systems (CPS) include next-generation power grids, water networks (waste and potable), manufacturing, and transportation systems. Modern CPSs are composed of a large number of interacting distributed entities, which communicate with each other on common situational awareness to be able to make critical operational decisions.
