The Semantic Firewall
project will develop a formal basis, methods, and tools for Grid
security. The problem is to enforce network security policies
between trust domains in the presence of dynamically changing and
unpredictable Grid communication needs.
By combining conventional Grid security with semantic reasoning methods,
we aim to provide dynamic, adaptive network security (see
Semantic Firewall).
Formal Checklists for Remote Agent Dependability, a
project to develop a formal framework for increasing the dependability
of deep space mission remote systems (see RemoteAgents).
Artifactory Theory, a project that aims at providing
semantic theories for artifacts (see Artifact Theory Group).
In the context of the DARPA funded project DAML (DARPA Agent Markup Language)
an Agent Mark-up language is built that allows users to
provide machine-readable semantic annotations for specific communities of
interest. We intend to generate core theories and knowledge creation tools for
DAML.
TIPE, a project which is concerned with the specification and
verification of cryptographic protocols (see TIPE/CAPSL)
Scalable Certification Revocation, funded by
KDD R&D Laboratories, Inc., Japan. This project aims at
describing and enhancing the state of the art of public key infrastructures,
with special emphasis on scalability for internet applications.
MAUDE: A Wide-Spectrum Formal Language for Secure Active
Networks, a project in the area of specification of Active Networks
using Maude and Rewriting Logic (see Maude and ActiveNets).
