Funding Programme: Sentinels
Abstract
bullet Abstract Sentinels is a Dutch research program on security in ICT, networks and information systems. The Sentinels program aims to give a very significant boost to security expertise in the Netherlands by providing and managing resources for scientific research in information security, by building a national IT-security community, and by disseminating the results into industry and government in the Netherlands. Sentinels aims to make all kinds of computer systems and computer networks more secure. This includes standard systems such as PCs and corporate networks, but also hand held devices and embedded systems, and wireless and on-chip networks. At present most security solutions are only partial solutions. Therefore, Sentinels aims to contribute to a comprehensive framework for secure systems engineering. The main beneficiaries of the Sentinels program are the citizens and companies who will enjoy a better organized handling of their legitimate security and privacy expectations in communication and transactions. This will result in an improved economic performance of the Netherlands. Sentinels focuses on two application areas essential to Dutch industry and government: 1. Security and privacy for ambient intelligence. The prime focus is on the user, who is seen as surrounded by a world full of networked computing elements. 2. Security and privacy for e-government and e-business, including vital ICT infrastructure. The prime focus is on services, content, (technical) infrastructure and equipment providers.
