Goals
The business
of the future will be characterized by highly dynamic service-oriented
architectures where outsourcing and distributed management constitute
the norm rather than the exception with an increasing complexity in
security and trust requirements from regulations and business
standards. Best-effort security will no longer be accepted and
business entities will have to provide certified assurance services to
customers and expect assured services from contractors in order to
manage the associated business and technology risk.
MASTER aims at
providing methodologies and infrastructures that facilitate the
monitoring, enforcement, and audit of quantifiable indicators on the
security of a business process, and that provide manageable assurance
of the security levels, trust levels and regulatory compliance of
highly dynamic service- oriented architecture in centralized,
distributed (multidomain), and outsourcing contexts.
To this extents
MASTER will identify new innovation components in terms of key
assurance indicators, key security indicators, protection and
regulatory models and security model transformations coupled with the
methodological and verification tools for the analysis and assessment
of business processes. It will further define an overall
infrastructure for the monitoring, enforcement, reaction, diagnosis
and assessment of these indicators centralized, distributed
(multidomain), and outsourcing contexts. It will show a
proof-of-concept implementation in the challenging realms of
Banking/Insurance and in the e-Health IT systems. MASTER will thus
deliver a strategic component of the security and trust pillar of the
European Technology Platform NESSI which makes it a NESSI strategic
project.

MASTER Audit & Event Log Prototype
The Event Log is an implementation of the Audit trail and event log database. It provides a Web service interface that can be used by the MASTER infrastructure components to insert events into the database and to fetch events that have been stored in the database before. It is a Java Web application that is packaged as a Java Web archive .war file, allowing the technologies to be used in a number of different scenarios. A Postgres database should be used to store the events, however, also other databases are supported. Further information about the prototype such as installation instructions are available here.
