Symphony - Supply and Demand Based Service Exposure Using Robust Distributed Methods

Cloud-based telecom environments enable new, flexible and open models to deliver and expose services to applications and customers. However, it is still partly complex or unknown how these services can be offered and managed in a secure way across multiple service and data providers.

Aim of the project

The Symphony project aims to investigate and develop distributed and robust solutions to secure, monitor and account for cloud services provided by a virtual marketplace, which may consist of multiple parties.

Implementation

The Symphony project aims to gain knowledge on:

a) how service and data providers can effectively compose and expose such services;

b) How to extend the technology of smart contracts, distributed ledgers, blockchains and SVPs for cloud-native environments;

c) What are the security, privacy, confidentiality and provenance tracking requirements for RES data services,

d) how the developed framework can be verified.

Finally, the Symphony project will apply a requirements-driven engineering approach analyzing the security needs of Cloudnative systems and the RES use case considered by the user.
