Periodic Reporting for period 1 - E-CORRIDOR (Edge enabled Privacy and Security Platform for Multi Modal Transport)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2020-06-01 al 2021-05-31
E-CORRIDOR plans to develop 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 will increase 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.

All the planned milestones have been achieved and these are the main results in the first year:
• All the management activities have been carried out, including financial distribution. More than 6 plenary project (virtual) meetings were organized by the partners;
• All the requirements from the pilots have been collected and elaborated;
• The main E-CORRIDOR architectural features have been defined using the previous requirements;
• All the pilots have their own architecture and embed the E-CORRIDOR main architectural components;
• Several publications were produced in the topics of the project;
• Several stakeholders has been contacted and initial exploitation plans defined.

the work started and we published already several articles, however for actual impact and implementation we need to wait m24
