My Research Projects

I have worked in various research projects funded by the European Commission (EC).

​

The most important ones are listed below.

​

As (Co-)Proposer:

​

  • eID4U (eID for Universities) (2018-2019, funded by EC under CEF Telecom Programme, Call number 2017-EU-IA-0051, EU contribution: €584,314 ) designed and tested an extension of the eIDAS Network with attributes specific to the academic domain. Moreover, the partners implemented real services exploiting such attributes, such as Erasmus student registration, Login with eIDAS, and Wi-F access with eIDAS. I was a Co-Proposer of this project, along with Prof. Lioy (5 partners, 0.6 million Euro total funding).

​

As Participant:

​

  • ROOT (2020 - present). The H2020 ROOT Project funded by the European GNSS Agency (European Union’s Horizon 2020, under G.A. no 101004261) will assess the benefits introduced in the synchronisation of 5G telecommunication networks by the authenticated signal transmitted by the European satellite navigation system Galileo, the so-called OSNMA signal.
    ROOT follows an experimental approach to demonstrate and measure the increased level of robustness and resilience of 5G network when new multi-frequency, OSNMA-ready Galileo receivers are combined with secure network synchronization distribution protocols.

  • CyberSec4Europe (2020-present). European Cybersecurity Competence Center. I am collaborating with City of Genova for eIDAS-enabled services set - up and prototyping.

  • FICEP (First Italian Crossborder eIDAS Proxy) (2016-2019, funded by EC under CEF Telecom Programme) integrated the Italian electronic identity architecture SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) into the European eIDAS framework.

  • e-SENS (2013-2016, funded by EC, ICT-PSP) consolidated the results of previous European Large Scale Pilot projects and created common building-blocks for the European Interoperability Architecture.

  • STORK 2.0 (Secure idenTities acRoss boRders linKed 2.0) (2012-2015, funded by EC, Grant agreement ID: 297263, EU contribution: € 8 762 939) extended the eID interoperability framework of STORK to legal persons, business roles, and more general personal attributes.

  • STORK (Secure idenTities acRoss boRders linKed) (2008-2011, funded by EC, Grant agreement ID: 224993, EU Contribution: € 13 073 335) aimed to create a European interoperability platform for electronic identification (eID) systems and to develop digital cross-border services based on the European eIDs. I was involved in the design of the overall architecture, the definition and the implementation of the use cases in the academic domain, such as the student mobility pilot and the e-learning pilot.

  • POSITIF (Policy-based security tools and framework) (2004-2007, funded by EC/DG-INFOSOC, IST FP6, Grant agreement ID: 002314, EU contribution € 2 550 000) developed a security architecture based on formal policies, with the related tools for automatic system configuration and management. I was involved in the part of the definition of a language for describing the security capabilities of network elements. I was involved in the organization of the 2nd year review meeting.

  • Harrison - Galileo Time Services (2006-2008, funded by EC - GJU, EU Contribution: 1 883 635 €) aimed to analyse, design and develop applications exploiting the services provided by the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in finance and banking domains.

  • GAL-PMI - finance, banking and insurance solutions enabled by Galileo GNSS to build real GNSS-enabled services in  finance domains (2007 - 2008, funded by the Piedmont Region, Italy). I designed and developed a location-based authentication solution, which was integrated into a system allowing payment at the gas stations.

  • AIDA (Advanced Interactive Digital Administration) (2000-2001, funded by EC/DG-XIII) for the development of a secure e-government infrastructure and a portable digital signature device WYSIWYS (What You See Is What You Sign).

  • NASTEC (2001-2002, funded by EC/DG-INFOSOC) for the deployment of a security infrastructure into the EC’s Newly Associated Countries in Eastern Europe.

  • ICE-CAR (1999-2000, funded by EC/DG-XIII), to setup the first experimental European public-key infrastructure based on X.509 certificates and to develop related security applications (such as digital signature, secure web and secure e-mail)
