45 Projects Receiving New NGI Zero Grants

MOVEDATA is an efficient and privacy-preserving tool to distribute large blocks of data, such as the contents of a whole storage device (or a device image), with zero knowledge of the structure or meaning of the data to enhance the privacy aspect, and using multicast and other technologies for efficiency, both in terms of network bandwidth and of energy usage. The library will provide comprehensive and well-optimized software exploiting the 64-bit assembly instructions of Intel CPUs to provide top speeds for those CPUs, while meeting the security constraint of not leaking secret information through timing. ▸ For more details see: https://nlnet.nl/project/Arcan-A12-directory The interaction patterns with our compute devices have switched from "one device - multiple users" over to "one user - multiple devices" and this new reality requires shift in how user personal data is shared and synchronised between their devices. This follow-up project sets out to implement lightweight applications that will be capable of networking over A12 protocol to enable remote control, sensor and screen sharing, file sharing, notification sharing and enable other personal data flows. Identifying such vulnerable components is currently hindered by data structure and tools that are (1) designed primarily for commercial/proprietary software components and (2) too dependent on the National Vulnerability Database (funded by the US CISA and Dept. The project also aims to solve the issue of communication and user-friendliness of platform specific Bluetooth stacks, by creating daemons/services native to that platform, and lightly wrapping native APIs and exposing a standard set of APIs that will allow any client to be built cross-platform and to connect and control Bluetooth (Classic especially) in a much more efficient and uniform manner.
