2STIC

The University of Twente (UT) participates in 2STiC because the program addresses the urgent and pressing problem of declining digital sovereignty of many societies around the world, such as in the Netherlands and Europe. Specially, 2STiC helps us to collaboratively advance the notion of a "responsible Internet", which offers users more insight into the security attributes of network operators in the Internet or future networks and gives them more control over how their data flows through the network based on these attributes. Such capabilities enhance the set of security-related actions that users have at their disposal and are particularly important for safety-critical service providers that interact with physical space through large numbers of sensors and actuators. For example, a future responsible Internet would enable a smart grid operator to get a description of the security attributes of the network operators that potentially transport their data (e.g., using the Network..
