Cyber Security and Trustworthy ICT

Important results from the project

ICT technologies have revolutionized the way we collect, process, distribute and publicize information. Consequently we need security in all parts of the system. The vision of the agenda is to strengthen Sweden´s position as leading IT. The focus areas will include trusted computing, cloud infrastructure, cryptography, software security, public safety, trust assurance and common criteria, network robustness, privacy and legal frameworks.

Expected long term effects

Proposal for an innovation agenda in the area of Security which also covers Cyber security and Trustworthy ICT and the participation and delivering of contributions to the ICT ´All connected´ agenda proposal. In the ´All connected´ agenda we contributed with two security project proposals that were endorsed. In the security agenda we agreed to explore further the possibility to submit a Strategisk Innovationsområde proposal later in the fall of 2013.

Approach and implementation

We first analyzed possible cooperation with the other Security agenda or that we should be part of one of the ICT agenda proposals. The latter merged most in the ´All connected agenda´ where we agreed to deliver security input to their text and participate in part of the writing. We also tried to cooperate with the SW agenda but they in principle turned down our offer to cooperate. We agreed in the fall of 2012 to cooperate with the security agenda from Linköping. We also cooperated with the IOT agenda on security. We also had 1 reference meeting with security industry and two RFC´s on agenda texts.
