Description:

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven has a vacancy for a
	
               PhD student
 Trusted Architecture for Securely Shared Services (TAS3)
 	        (V32.010)

within the Security of Embedded Systems (SEC) group.

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science provides undergraduate and MSc programs in Mathematics and in Computer Science. The department has research collaborations with other departments at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) as well as with a large number of other universities and companies, both at home and abroad. The Department has approximately 350 employees and more than 700 students.

The Security of Embedded Systems (SEC) group, officially established on October 1, 2007, is already one the CS groups at the TU/e with the largest involvement in national and international programs. SEC, together with the cryptology group of the TU/e, forms the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems (EIPSI). SEC focuses on technical aspects of security and privacy for embedded systems without disregarding the non-technical aspects (e.g. social and legal issues). More information on SEC and EIPSI may be found at the group page at http://www.win.tue.nl/sec/.
	

TASKS:

Trusted Architecture for Securely Shared Services (TAS³) is a European
Integrated Project with 17 partners (among which: SAP Research, Oracle, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), both from academia and industry, that will develop and implement an architecture with trusted services to manage and process distributed personal information. This architecture will be dependable, robust, cost-effective and reliable. The personal information that will be processed and managed can consist of any type of information that is owned by or refers to people. The proposed architecture will be generic and cross-domain applicable. TAS3 will focus on an instantiation of this architecture in the employability and e-health sectors. The project will allow users and service providers in these two sectors to manage the lifelong generated personal employability and e-health information of the individuals involved. For example, in the employability sector, personal information includes the professional interests, current and previous job activities, and future employment objectives of a worker. Service providers will then be able to use this information to propose career paths that are compatible with the worker’s objectives. The healthcare sector is another context in which the TAS3 architecture can be instantiated. In this case, the patient could be offered advanced services based on a number of personal health parameters (weight, body temperature, glucose level for diabetes patients, etc.) that are introduced by the patient himself.
Within the project the TU/e will mainly focus on the trust management aspect; how can users and/or services establish trust in a service. To this end different existing trust management frameworks will be combined and enhanced in innovative ways allowing use of both rule based trust policies, e.g. `I trust you if you are a certified physician’ and reputation based policies, e.g. ‘I trust you if you have a sufficiently good track record in the storage of medical information’.


REQUIREMENTS:

We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:

•  an MSc in Computer Science, Mathematics or closely related field;
•  interest in computer security and formal methods;
•  good communicative skills in English, both written and oral.


APPOINTMENT AND SALARY:

We offer:

•  a full-time temporary appointment for a period of 4 years;
•  a gross monthly salary of € 2.000 during the first year up to € 2.558 during the fourth year of the appointment;
•  a broad package of fringe benefits (e.g. excellent technical infrastructure, child care, savings schemes, and excellent sports facilities);
