We are pleased to announce that the Institute, together with 10 partners, is launching a Horizon Europe-funded project.

The research and innovation project DOSS: SECURE IOT OPERATION WITH SUPPLY CHAIN CONTROL.

The project will run for a period of three years and will receive funding of €5 million from the European Commission's Horizon Europe program.

The project is coordinated by Atos Hungary.

The goal of the project is to improve the security and reliability of IoT operations by introducing an integrated monitoring and validation framework covering all actors and relevant stages of IoT supply chains.

Technologies to be deployed include a newly defined, machine-readable "device security passport" containing security-relevant information about the system's hardware components; an integrated component tester for evaluating third-party applications as well as internal development; an architecture and threat modeling digital twin for cybersecurity; a security validator to ensure compliance with standards and regulations; and a set of tools to protect IoT operations and provide feedback to upstream stages of the supply trust chain.

The concept is based on the security-by-design paradigm and encompasses both product and operations security validation and assurance, as well as all stages of the product lifecycle, from design, deployment and distribution, to operation and decommissioning.
