PROJECT TITLE

REWIRE: REWiring the ComposItional Security VeRification and AssurancE of Systems of Systems Lifecycle

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

REWIRE envisions a holistic framework for continuous security assessment of open-source and open-specification hardware and software for IoT devices and the development of cybersecurity certification in accordance with the requirements and guidelines of recent EU Cybersecurity Act. In particular, REWIRE proposes a scalable and multifunctional cybersecurity platform that will ensure the security throughout the life of the IoT devices with continuous security auditing, trust computing and theorem proofs for defining a hardware-based microarchitecture for enhanced protection targeting to open-hardware/software vulnerabilities.

REWIRE has invested in three carefully selected pilots (Automotive, Smart Cities, Smart Satellites), which can address the ambitious objectives of the project, i.e., a customizable TEE based on RISC-V, and micro benchmarking for quick and automated assessment of h/w vulnerability. Thus, REWIRE aims to safeguard the entire workflow of secure processing; from the Deployment and Operation of software-based System of Systems to their patch management when new exploits have been identified during run-time, by providing new trust management mechanisms towards the auditability and certification of SW/HW open-source specifications.

8BELLS ROLE

8BELLS brings expertise in SSH and ethics for trust aspects into the REWIRE action, by providing the Cross-Domain Ethics Toolkit, namely the mechanisms that can analyse the conformity checking of technological developments to security/privacy regulations. Specifically, Eight Bells Ltd. will contribute to the elicitation of requirements for Security, Trust & Operational Assurance in NG SoS, to the REWIRE Reference Architecture, and to the Certification & Runtime Auditing Specification. In addition, Eight Bells Ltd. Will provide contributions for the Use Cases Definition and Demonstrator-Specific Requirement Analysis, along with the critical Appraisal of the REWIRE Framework & End-User adoption guidelines of NG Trust IoT Solutions. Finally, 8BELLS leads, manages and coordinates the activities towards increasing the impact of ENCRYPT, serving as WP7 leader “Dissemination, Standardization, Exploitation & Impact Creation”, also undertaking the role of Dissemination and Communication manager for the project.
