2. Enhance the leading position of ICT-security research in Flanders Essential objectives: perform first class basic and applied research in key areas from ICT security (core) transfer the acquired basic knowledge into the economy (traditional notion of valorization) lower the cost of regulatory compliance of new hardware, software and applications (specific: valorization) contribute actively to training of undergraduate and PhD students, and of industry (valorization too) 2
3. Context, application and technology trends Securityis directly related to dependability, and to trustworthiness – trustworthiness will remain essential Security cannot be achieved as an after-thought; core to software applications and the development & deploymentprocesses Security problems arise anywhere in systems (not only at front- and backdoors): end-to-end quality is required. Trustworthiness requires full life-cycle support (management support) 3

9. The European context (FP7-IST call 8) Track record: About 20 FP6/FP7 projects that relate to trust and security Currently featuring two NoE’s: Cryptology, Bart Preneel from COSIC is currently coordinating ECRYPT II (Network of Excellence on Cryptology), which is a successor to ECRYPT. Service Engineering: WouterJoosen (DistriNet) currently is the Research Director of NESSoS: Engineering Secure Software and Systems for Future Internet Services. … lead generators for new EU projects 9
10. For the business – applied to many hot application domains: Assurance, compliance of new applications, typically Future Internet Services Cloud computing (the next big one after SOA) IoT and embedded software and systems Very long term: Enabling Cost and Risk Assessment For Society: focus on Privacy (Social Networks) Cybercrime 10

Service Provider GPS GSM Another example: NextGenITS [ICON] Privacy preserving Electronic Toll Only final fee transmitted to Service Provider Only driver has access to location data Authenticity of reported fee and location data Confidentiality of communications GPS Satellites Driver Fee Calculation Updates OBU Bill Fee Reporting Encrypted Location Data
12. One Example: Bravehealth (FP7-IP 2010-2013) The BRAVEHEALTH system will enable the integration of services provided by mobile resources, legacy applications, data and computing intensive services within a mobile grid to offer personalized e-health services to mobile, nomadic, stationary users. 12
