JASON, A Generic Architecture for Secure Remote Management (NIT.6677)

The core of the practical problem in this project is to build remotely manageable devices, that are owned, controlled and/or accessed by several different parties with different, sometimes even conflicting interests. Several applications of such devices will appear in the near future. For these devices to be successful, they will have to satisfy strong security and privacy guarantees.

To this end, the JASON project develops a secure, object oriented, distributed programming platform for smart cards and embedded systems that provides separation of concerns: application programmer only needs to specify the security properties, not implement them, and generic secure access to objects and their methods, irrespective of their current location.
