Bilateral Grants with Industry

Cozy Cloud CIFRE - Tran Van contract (Oct 2014 -Feb 2018)

Partners: Cozy Cloud, PETRUS

Following a bilateral contract with Cozy Cloud (a French startup providing a personal Cloud platform), the CIFRE PhD thesis of Paul Tran Van capitalized on the Cozy-PlugDB platform to devise new access and usage control models to exchange data among devices of the same user (devices may have different levels of trustworthiness) and among different users thanks to a user-friendly sharing model [14].

Cozy Cloud CIFRE - Loudet contract (Apr 2016 - Apr 2019)

Partners: Cozy Cloud, PETRUS

In relation with the bilateral contract mentioned above, a second CIFRE PhD thesis has been started by Julien Loudet. The objective is to allow for a secure execution of distributed queries on a set of personal clouds associated to users, depending on social links, user's localization or user's profile. The general idea is to build secure indexes, distributed on the users' personal clouds and to devise a secure execution protocol revealing solely the query result to the querier. Such highly distributed secure queries potentially enable new (social) applications fed by user's personal data which could be developed on the Cozy-PlugDB platform.
