Abstract (English)

SecurE-Justice project concerns the design and development of innovative secure technologies to be embedded in a distributed environment communication and collaboration framework to be implemented within the judicial multi-sited organisations domain. SecurE-Justice system will therefore enable the judicial co-operation process management in compliance with security requirements and trust and confidence needs.
The project idea originates from a fact: public administrations being multi-site and having to deal with distributed process management, expressed their needs in terms of security compliant systems and ask for a global security management framework enabling secure collaboration and cooperation environment.
The overall platform of SecurE-Justice will consist in a technological product:
· based on the embedding of the most innovative security technologies into a unique technological solution enabling secure communication and knowledge sharing in large multi-site organisation context;
· oriented to the security market in general and particularly devoted to the market of security management in distributed ambient and judicial co-operation.
Two are the fundamental research action lines addressed by the project:
· secure user management: identification, authentication and authorization of users; PKI, digital certificates and biometric identification technologies;
· secure communication management: confidentiality, integrity and non repudiation; SIP message encryption. SecureRTP and digital watermarking technologies.
SecurE-Justice lasts 36 months, gathers a wide and qualified consortium that brings to the project a unique mix of complementary skills and expertise. It is a technology oriented and user driven project: six multi-site judicial public administrations involved will test and validate SecurE-Justice framework according to judicial cooperation scenarios.
