Ensure a trusted and dependable security framework, ubiquitous, working across multiple devices, heterogeneous networks, being organisation independent (inter-operable) and centred around an end-user. This will be achieved by:

Defining new trust, security models and security policies that address the current and future threats, and ensure affordable security services, maintaining an adequate security level without infringing a user’s right to privacy;
Specifying components to build the infrastructure, to enforce these policies, select the existing tools and devices, and define the new components to develop;
Participating to the core research initiatives towards eEurope-2005.

New Architecture and Models

We design new models, adapted to nomadic users, enabling the design of suitable architecture for personal and home usages, users’ access from public facilities (“Hot spots”), workers at the office and on the move, mobile sub-networks, onboard of car, train, and aircraft and e-government. Those models are designed to address three usages, with different priorities:

For personal usage, the priority concerns are ease of use and privacy protection,
For business usage, the heterogeneity and mobility are the major issues with a priority and accessibility,
For public services and e-government, the priority is the survivability of the infrastructure, and then integrated in a transversal trust and security model.

SEINIT delivers specification documents of the security framework with, in regard the threat and vulnerabilities addressed.
