Descrizione del progetto
Proteggere dati sensibili lungo il continuum dell’elaborazione
Il cloud computing sta fronteggiando una transizione fondamentale: da grandi centri dati a modelli di elaborazione decentralizzati che restringono la latenza, aumentano la velocità di elaborazione e riducono il consumo energetico. Grazie alle nuove tecnologie, i dati prodotti in strumenti finali quali smartphone e dispositivi IoT sono archiviati, sviluppati, elaborati e trasmessi attraverso nodi Fog ai servizi di cloud. Tuttavia, la protezione di dati sensibili in questo ambiente decentralizzato non è garantita. Il progetto FogProtect, finanziato dall’UE, fornirà progettazione, tecnologie e metodi avanzati per garantire la protezione dei dati da punto a punto lungo il continuum dell’elaborazione. Il progetto integra quattro innovazioni tecnologiche per creare soluzioni applicabili alla protezione dei dati in città, industrie e media intelligenti.
Obiettivo
Cloud computing is transitioning from a few large data centres to a truly decentralized computing paradigm. Computing resources are increasingly provided near the network edge, in a geographically distributed way, in the form of so-called fog nodes. Data produced in end devices like smartphones, sensors or IoT devices can be stored, processed and analysed across a continuum of compute resources, from end devices via fog nodes to cloud services. This decentralized computing paradigm provides huge benefits in terms of reduced latency, increased processing speed and energy savings, but the protection of sensitive data in such a widely decentralized setting becomes a critical concern.
FogProtect delivers new and advanced architectures, technologies, and methodologies for ensuring end-to-end data protection across the computing continuum, from cloud data centres through fog nodes to end devices. The FogProtect solutions are generic and can be used in multiple contexts to support many types of applications and services. FogProtect combines four main technology innovations: (1) secure data container technology for data portability and mobility, (2) data-protection-aware adaptive service and resource management, (3) advanced data protection policy management, (4) dynamic data protection risk management models and tools.
Three complementary real-world use cases demonstrate the applicability of FogProtect solutions to multiple contexts and the impact of the project’s novel solutions for data protection: smart cities, smart manufacturing and smart media. FogProtect provides the essential building blocks to empower data protection, supporting resilience, trustworthiness and human-centricity in the Next Generation Internet.
FogProtect brings together knowledge and solutions of major European ICT providers together with competence of innovative SMEs and deep technical knowledge of leading research organizations, ensuring it has high scientific, technological and economic impact.
