Application Domains

With the infiltration of computers and software in almost all aspects of our modern life, security can nowadays be seen as an absolutely general concern. As such, the results of the research targeted by CIDRE apply to a wide range of domains. It is clear that critical systems, where security (and safety) is a major concern, may benefit from ideas such as dynamic security policy monitoring. On the other hand, systems used by general public (basically, the internet and services such as web or cloud services, social networks, location-based services, etc.) can also benefit from results obtained by CIDRE, especially with respect to privacy. In addition, systems are getting more and more complex, decentralized, distributed, or spontaneous. The emergence of cloud computing brings many challenges that could benefit from ideas, approaches and solutions studied by CIDRE in the context of distributed systems.
