E-CORRIDOR develops a collaborative privacy aware and edge enabled information sharing,
analysis and protection framework for cyber security in multimodal transport systems.
In this framework, often entities (either travellers or transport means) can be seen as information prosumers,
i.e. producers and consumer of information. Information could be raw data as well as complex attack indicators
that we may wish to share to enhance our security and safety or just to get a better service.
The sharing of the information is usually regulated by Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs) that can be used to express
privacy preferences or contractual requirements for providing and consuming information (i.e. notification of data leakage).
Often the information can be analysed either globally (in the cloud) or locally (in edge devices).
Local analysis increases privacy although global (with more information) could be more accurate.
Our framework has the following key components:
• Information sharing: share information (including security ones) in a controlled manner,
ensuring the respect of regulation and with confidentiality and integrity both in rest and in transit;
• Information analytics: advanced analytics functions and engines for data analytics and correlation identifying
threats that hide themselves in the massive usage of services and related amount of logs;
• Mixture of technologies to enable confidential and collaborative analysis of data: including homomorphic encryption:
making computation in a confidential and distributed manner;
• Advanced seamless access mechanisms that that advantage of the analytics and sharing infrastructure to provide
continuous authentication and authorization as well as privacy aware service as privacy aware data usage control.
E-CORRIDOR is pilot-driven and its main features have been designed to successfully cope with the pilots we identified in project proposal preparation.
