Uni Systems participates in the REWIRE Research and Innovation Action on compositional security verification and assurance
Uni Systems participates in the REWIRE Research and Innovation Action, officially started on October 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101070627) and spans on the period October 2022 – September 2025.
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.
Specifically, Uni Systems undertakes the leading of Work Package entitled “REWIRE Framework Integration and Use Cases Demonstration” of the REWIRE action. Uni Systems will work on the produce of the REWIRE Integration plan, which will act as the specification for the whole integration, ensuring there are no conflicting requirements of the individual components, and defining the integration of tools of each integration phase.
A set of tools (DevOps) will be configured, including a version control system (e.g., GitLab), testing framework for integration, and an issue-tracking system for reporting bugs, issues, and requests. A contingency plan will also be developed to tackle the issues in case some of the milestones fail and to define mitigation strategies.
