Cloud computing and smart networks

We carry out national and international research and development projects related to secure quantum communications and the creation and enhancement of distributed systems security.

The proliferation of data-collecting devices in the world around us creates new opportunities in the area of Big Data system development, alongside new security challenges At NASK SCIENCE, we are building large-scale data collection systems (e.g., telemetry and honeypot data) and developing cloud based solutions to process this information efficiently. Our research and development efforts also focus on enhancing the security of distributed systems, including the Internet of Things (IoT), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and mobile devices.

We are focused on developing lightweight threat detectors using machine learning, a field in which we have successfully applied our expertise. For instance, we contributed to the international GUARD project and integrated our solutions into the BotSense system within SKAM  project, providing enhanced security for e-banking clients of multiple Polish banks.

 

Our work emphasizes the resilience of systems against attacks that attempt to exploit machine learning vulnerabilities. As part of the LaVA project, in collaboration with the Warsaw University of Technology, we are developing pioneering methods to attack machine learning models, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of cyber-physical system vulnerabilities.

 

As part of the Optokrypt project, we are advancing cutting-edge optical quantum cryptography technologies to safeguard data exchanges within communication networks, contributing to national security and defence
