D4.1 Design of the Security Framework I

The aim of this work is to define, propose a design and develop a core set of security measures that will conform the first version of COMPOSITION Security Framework. The purpose of this framework will be to guarantee security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of managed information for all authorized stakeholders in the supply chain. Some of the modules proposed here ensure trusted and secure collaboration, at the same time guarantee confidentiality and integrity of the information transmitted addressing end-to-end security across all layers of the system integrating in a seamless manner three major groups of security mechanisms: authentication, access control and transport security; while other components ensure protection against cyber-attacks and provide security monitoring. The architecture is based on well established guidelines and best practices but also includes innovative and experimental solutions that will guard the COMPOSITION system against unknown threats.
