Subject description
Doctoral student in information security with focus on security for production systems and principles for protected data analytics in production systems. The research project will be in the field of protected cloud based data analytics in online production systems. The research is system oriented and we will work with combinations between well-established computer/communication security solutions and novel data protection. Especially, the research is directed towards principles utilizing state replication for protected sharing of data among multiple stakeholders.
Work duties
The doctoral student will examine different principles for authentication of data sources and users. The work includes investigating how data protected data sharing between different stakeholders in distributed systems can be achieved. In particular state replication, or what sometimes is referred to as “digital twin” models, shall be investigated. We are interested in exploring the possibilities and limitations with respect to security with such models. Different principles for state replication for data sharing shall be developed and analyzed from security and performance perspectives. The goal is to test and evaluate the new protection mechanisms under realistic conditions with the help of simulations and prototype development.
The research project is funded by an SSF project (SEC4FACTORY) and an H2020 EU project (CloudiFacturing), and a close collaboration with other project partners is expected. The possibility of a European researcher exchange exists.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which include participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).
Admission requirements
A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and study programmes if he or she:
A person meets the specific admission requirements for third cycle studies in Electrical Engineering if he or she has:
