PRISMACLOUD – Privacy and Security Maintaining Services in the Cloud

Novel cryptographic concepts and methods to practical application to improve the security and privacy of cloud based services.
Europe is a world leader in research and innovation on cloud software and services with the European Commission investing heavily in research in this area. New cutting-edge results and Open Source Software are published everyday. With our catalogue, you can now Search for service offers that are emerging from top-class European research projects.
Each service offer gives an overview of the pain points that the projects address from a user-perspective. You can now search the catalogue based on technical priorities that are addressed and the vertical markets that are targetted. Simply use the filters on the right to find solutions to meet your needs.
European research projects are thinking strategically which means looking at technology and market uptake as part of the same equation. These service offers demonstrate this through challenging, interoperable cloud services playing which play a very important role in extending the market and in bringing business benefits to both the supply and demand sides.
Novel cryptographic concepts and methods to practical application to improve the security and privacy of cloud based services.
RAPID proposes, for the first time, a secure unified model where almost any device or infrastructure, ranging from smartphone, notebook, laptop and desktop to private and public cloud can operate as an accelerated entity and/or as an accelerator serving other less powerful devices in a secure way. At the same time, RAPID offers a registration mechanism, which permits the accelerated entities to automatically find and connect to nearby accelerators with the required resources.
The RECAP project develops a radically novel concept in the provision of cloud services, where services are elastically instantiated and provisioned close to the users that actually need them via self-configurable cloud computing systems.
The focus of the RePhrase project is on producing new software engineering tools, techniques and methodologies for developing data-intensive applications in C++, targeting heterogeneous multicore/manycore systems that combine CPUs and GPUs into a coherent parallel platform. Data-intensive applications are one of the most important and commonly encountered classes of industrial application. Such applications are often potentially highly parallel and are a clear match to emerging heterogeneous parallel architectures.
RestAssured provides a reference architecture for protecting sensitive data and applications in a cloud environment by supplying secure enclaves and sticky policies for data protection that migrate across the cloud with the data. Additionally, the overall security of the end-to-end service is analyzed by models@runtime and risk analysis tools.
Me and my friend are co-founders in a small mobile dev shop.
Our tech expertise is on the development of mobile apps, but for almost all of our projects, we need some back-end services running on the cloud in order to upload or download user data and contact 3rd party web services, like some weather services we needed in our latest app.
SeaClouds is a novel open source framework that performs Seamless Adaptive Multi-cloud Management of Service-based applications.
This cloud´s standard-based framework consist on an Application Management System over Clouds (AMSoC) which makes more efficient the design, development, planning and management of complex business applications across multiple and heterogeneous clouds, something unfeasible hitherto.
SeaClouds is a valuable tool for:
SecureCloud addresses the confidentiality, integrity and availability of applications executed in the cloud. The main problem that we face is how to ensure the confidentiality of data while being processed. Our approach is based on upcoming hardware extensions of commodity CPUs.
The SERECA project provides an infrastructure that protects the integrity and confidentiality of applications running in untrusted cloud environments, even against malicious insiders with super-privileges. This relies on a set of facilities/tools useful to transparently leverage the new ISA extension of Intel's CPU, namely Software Guard eXtension (SGX).
