Securities trading takes place not only on traditional stock exchanges but on all kinds of platforms.
Under EU regulation these different platforms are subject to different rules. Furthermore, the rise of
Financial Markets Infrastructure groups is ignored. Therefore, we will have a critical look at the EU
regulation of these various trading platforms and the FMI groups that operate them.

ICT systems and services are becoming ever more pervasive, with a development towards both large scale centralized services (e.g., cloud computing) and tiny pervasive devices (e.g., the Internet of things). The more important ICT becomes in our professional and private lives, the more important it is that the ICT infrastructure is trustworthy. However, most elements of our current infrastructure are vulnerable to a broad range of security ...

Public safety is one of the most pressing concerns in the cities of today. Whenever multiple citizens gather in public space, crowd dynamics can cause hazardous situations. To avoid evacuations and disasters, it is pertinent that the movement and evolution of a crowd can be tracked, predicted and adapted, while assuring privacy. Therefore, this project will integrate crowd tracking and modeling, which will give input to a routing algorithm. ...

Project summary

The HEAT project develops advanced cryptographic technologies to process sensitive information in encrypted form, without needing to compromise on the privacy and security of the citizens and organizations that provide the input data.

The core technology is based on homomorphic cryptography, which allows to perform computations on encrypted information without decrypting it. The main goal of HEAT is to produce a ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is growing at a fast pace. In 2018, there were already 6.1 billion IoT devices which reflects 33 percent of the internet connected machines. Cisco estimates that the amount will grow to 14.7 billion connected IoT devices in 2023, or 50 percent of the connected devices. Despite the large amount of connected devices, a fully connected environment is not realistic in the near future. Almost every device ...
