The current technological environment with the increasing growth of critical infrastructures relationships represents a hard challenge for security solutions. In order to achieve trust among devices or other networked agents of a critical infrastructure, the definition of completely new methods is required. TITAN aims to cover this ground through the definition of a new trust assurance methodology, a new way of distributing policies, a multi-agent reputation mechanism and novel aggregation techniques. CRP Tudor is the prime contractor.
