Together with researchers from Lappeenrata-Lahti University in Finland, Firat University in Turkey and Nantes University in France, a European CHIST-ERA project proposal called Di4SPDS (Distributed Intelligence for Enhancing Security and Privacy of Decentralised and Distributed Systems) was submitted in January 2023, whose favorable resolution has been notified this week. The objective of the project is to develop a framework aimed at improving the ability to protect the security and privacy of decentralized and distributed systems through an inter-domain access control scheme, a self-aware system for collaborative intrusion detection and a dynamic risk management that takes into account sustainability from the dimension of resource and energy consumption. This framework will facilitate effective collaboration between different subsystems to prevent widespread disruption due to cyber-attacks and share threat information to create global situational awareness. Using blockchain techniques, federated learning and multi-agent architecture, Di4SPDS will develop methods and prototypes to improve capabilities related to access control, intrusion detection, risk management and collaborative response.

On behalf of ESI-UCLM, Eduardo Fernández-Medina, Antonio Santos-Olmo, Luis Enrique Sánchez and David García are participating in the project.
