Trusted Computing and Trusted Infrastructure
We study Trusted Computing technologies, and ways to apply them to active trusted infrastructure: particularly in grid and cloud scenarios, and in service-oriented architectures.
The best way to understand this perspective is to look at the publications below. Much has been written about Trusted Computing at the lower levels of the hardware-software stack, but the most interesting applications arise in complex distributed systems. These also give rise to the greatest security challenges: and those which presently have no alternate evident solutions.
We also run a course on trusted computing infrastructure within the MSc in Software and Systems Security.
