Security

Connected and Automated cars are part of a complex, hyper-connected, bottom-up system with emergent properties for which there is no guiding mind. A System is Resilient if, and only if, there is justifiable and enduring confidence that it will function as expected, when expected. It is Secure if it displays this property in the face of an Adversary. It is Cyber Secure if it displays this property in the face of an Adversary that need not be co-located. We believe that Cyber resilience is a board level responsibility. Most C-level executives share in the consequences of a breach.

Through a series of workshops and publications we aim to propose a methodology for Cyber Resilience, discuss Security in a regulatorily fragmented world, and answer questions like How do I trust the software? The SIG also boasts the hugely popular annual AESIN Security Conference.

Chair is Peter Davies, a Technical Director of Thales in the UK. He is their leading expert on Cryptography in the UK responsible for providing cryptography and information security direction and expertise on a variety of products and projects. Previous work includes the development and certification of flexible and interoperable commercial security solutions that are also widely used by governments; these solutions are available worldwide and support the security of both communications and infomatics in an international, multi grade environment. His specialist knowledge is at the core of the cyber defence and forensics activities that he uses to combat existential treats against business. He can, and has, interacted on security and products at any level from Prime Minister, through Board to deep technical including Agencies, Certification Labs and partners developing and sustaining business opportunities worldwide. He has generated patents in the area of digital DNA and my research covers aspects of technical security as well as aspects of super-identities and their role in combatting human based cyber-attacks. He has lead EU security research contracts and has acted as an expert on others. As well as contributing to standards He is a frequent speaker at international conferences and deliver lectures to postgraduate information and cyber security programmes in the UK and worldwide.
