== Project Proposals ==
ideas we have:
* [[RedZone]]
* [[Mapping Critical IT Infrastructures]]
* [[PROMIS]]
* [[Reliability Evaluation of Free / Open Source / Libre Software]]


== Call ==
'''(i)''' Assume that attacks and breaches are unavoidable; focus on how to
make systems resilient in spite of them. For instance, extend Recovery
Oriented Computing ideas to apply to the security infrastructure. What
if instead of a company or country running services on servers, having
them run on virtual machines (cf. what Amazon offers with its EC2
service) that run on farms and can be brought up and down at will? If
something is attacked, we just bring it down and spawn another
pre-configured virtual machine hosting exactly the same services... In
sort, combine virtualisation and ROC for security infrastructure.


* [[CallDetails-ICT-SEC-2007.1.7]]: Call details
'''(ii)''' Develop a way to map ciritical IT infrastructures. The
dependencies are very complex, and therefore you need tools and data
to explore what is really critical. Is Vodafone part of Greece's
critical infrastructure? Linux? Solaris? MS-DOS? Postgres? So we do a
kind of service and artefact dependency analysis, mapping dependencies
and criticality indicators/measures not only software but telecom
links, hardware facilities, etc. We develop the software and then run
a pilot study.


== Partners ==
'''(iii)''' Web applications security is constantly gaining the interest of research community, as the existence of web applications is getting ubiquoutous, and new threats to the critical infrastructure are introduced. Ajax security, XSS, CSRF, to name a few, even traditional security people fail to understand and protect against these, or new attack vectors created by the complex nature of web applications. What I see missing is a well defined framework and/or the static analysis tools required to test applications and find vulnerabilities. Discovering and fixing such vulnerabilities is a great move towards more secure infrastructure. (mgogoulos)
