CITADEL project at TU/e will work on observing and detection to support attack pliability through dynamic system reconfiguration. Safety critical networks used for ATC, production control systems, etc. require assured, provable performance even in the face of attacks.

About the project:

Critical Infrastructure (CI) Protection using Adaptive MILS (CITADEL)

CITADEL builds on MILS (an architectural approach based on Multiple Independent Levels of Security) which supports compositional assurance to ease development, certification, and maintenance of reliable systems. The MILS platform, based on a split-up kernel, manages physical resources while forming and enforcing verified application architecture.

Tasks involved:

• flexible monitoring plane and its use in detection of attacks in association with the project partners
• contribution in teaching
