SECURE: Estimation and Control Using Recursion and Encryption

SECURE addresses the pressing topic of a secure ICT platform for operation and management of connected societies. By secure, the proposal means guaranteeing the correctness of operational decisions and maintaining data-privacy of the involved parties. In particular, the latter goes beyond the current state-of- theart solutions, which involve trusted third parties.Connected societies are combinations of socio-, cyber- and physical systems. Examples of cyber-physical systems (CPS) include next-generation power grids, water networks (waste and potable), manufacturing, and transportation systems. Modern CPSs are composed of a large number of interacting distributed entities, which communicate with each other on common situational awareness to be able to make critical operational decisions. This interaction between entities more often than not requires exchange of privacy-sensitive information and requires trust in the system. Specifically, SECURE focuses on a privacy-preserving ICT platform.
