After 3 years of fruitful collaboration with exciting research partners across Europe, the Digital Security & Trusted Computing Group of UBITECH proudly presented its research outcomes to the final contractual review meeting for the FutureTPM H2020 co-funded research project (Grant Agreement No 779391 – https://futuretpm.eu/) that took place virtually on February 18, 2021. UBITECH, as the leader of WP4, entitled “Run-time Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis” and WP6, entitled “FutureTPM Demonstrators and Performance Evaluation”, presented the Holistic Risk Assessment approach aimed to safeguard TPM-enabled decentralised system architectures in light of the emergence of Quantum Computing era. The Run-time Risk Assessment approach blended with novel Remote Attestation mechanisms is able to guarantee the operational assurance of systems by attesting their configuration integrity and run-time behaviour. In addition, UBITECH presented the FutureTPM integrated framework that provides a unified environment for the new generation of TPM-based solutions including hardware, software and virtualization environments, by incorporating robust and physically secured Quantum-Resistant cryptographic primitives along with run-time operational assurance and risk assessment mechanisms. The reviewers and the PO were extremely satisfied with the results and provided some feedback and recommendations for future work. UBITECH will continue working towards future proofing the connected world of tomorrow.
