1 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Industrial Doctorates position on Secure systems on cloud computing infrastructures in Greece | Singular Logic

A basic tenet of IT security is that if an attacker has access to the physical assets of a computing system all bets are off regarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability associated with the services it provides. This need not be so. It has been for decades a theoretical possibility and a practical reality to communicate reliably over noisy channels, and to perform accurate computations with unreliable building blocks. Recent theoretical advances suggest that performing secure computations on insecure infrastructures is also possible. The aim of this research is to develop and combine theory and practice that will allow the construction of secure systems on top on an inherently insecure cloud computing infrastructure. On the theoretical front the research will explore the limits of what levels of security guarantees can be provided given specific adversary capabilities, while on the practical front the research will examine how these guarantees can be implemented in the form of useful building blocks.
