BEST: Belgian Energy System - The contribution of electro- and synthetic fuels to the security of supply Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Julien Blondeau
Applied Mechanics
The energy transition in Belgium has a clear direction: electricity will become the dominant vector and renewable productions, mainly solar and wind, must be extensively installed. Yet, there are still many open questions, especially on the contribution of fuels, not anymore from fossil origin but as energy carriers synthetized from renewable energies. These fuels can be liquid (CH3OH, CnHm) or gaseous (H2, CH4, NH3). They can be produced from ...

Security and Privacy for Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things KU Leuven

Bart Preneel
Distributed and Secure Software (DistriNet), Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography (COSIC)
Internet connectivity has been extending its reach from servers and clients into mobile devices, consumer products and increasingly also embedded systems that connect to industrial processes, vehicles, home automation, and even the human body. The resulting cyber-physical systems create a huge potential for the development of smarter and more efficient manufacturing, tele-medecine, traffic management and so forth. Maintaining security and ...

An Architecture for the Analysis and Management of Security in Industrial Control Systems. KU Leuven

Vincent Naessens, Bart De Decker
Computer Science Technology, Ghent and Aalst Technology Campuses, Distributed and Secure Software (DistriNet)

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are responsible for analysing and controlling a large number of processes such as distribution of gas and electricity, monitoring a nuclear reactor or controlling traffic lights. The last decades these systems have evolved from isolated, proprietary systems to environments that use commercial products, integrated with back-end systems that are often connected with corporate networks and the internet. This ...

Nicole Vettenburg
Department of Social Work and Social Pedagogy

The study investigates the desirability and the feasibility of a monitor for antisocial behaviour and feelings of insecurity among pupils, and for feelings of insecurity among teachers. Both the development and the implementation of a monitoring system are assessed. Existing monitors, registration systems and databases are examined and further analysed. These data are complemented by data from a web survey and from focus groups among ...

Women's Access to Social Security Schemes in Mozambique: Rethinking the Social Security Legal Framework in gender terms. Hasselt University

Petra FOUBERT
Centre for Government and Law
This study seeks to produce a legal analysis aimed at testing the current Mozambican non-contributory social security system for its availability and its adequacy to secure lifecycle vulnerability of women. Systems of social security enable societies to advance the well-being and security of their citizens by protecting them from vulnerability and deprivation so that they can pursue a decent life. International agendas mainly push general gender ...

Using theories from economics & finance to address information security risks. University of Antwerp

Steven De Haes
Management Information Systems (MIS)
The continued growth in the use of information technology has exposed businesses to the risk of loss of data, services and business operations due to an attack on their information systems. However, information security is not only a technical issue but an economic issue as well. Though there has been some research on the economic aspect of information security, the research in the domain is sparse and this motivates us to explore the ...

Facing Cyber security threats head-on through insight, prevention and education Hasselt University

Peter QUAX
Applied Computer Science Lab
The amount and impact of cyber security incidents have increased rapidly over the past few years. Attacks have become more targeted and have an increased financial impact. Over 12 million USD worth of ransomware payments were made between 2013 and mid-2017. Mostly, criminals enter systems using spear phishing. Multiple techniques to detect these attacks and decrease their success rate have already been described in literature or are available in ...

The outbreak of the financial and economic crisis had a severe impact on national economies worldwide, including those of the member states of the European Union (EU). Several EU member states with financial difficulties received financial support by the EU institutions. In return, they were obliged to reduce public spending and as a result, national social security systems were drastically reformed. Since the financial and economic crisis, ...
