Information Systems Security Research Group (ISSRG)
Key AimsThe ISSRG's mission is to research and develop leading edge userfriendly security solutions for distributed systems. The group has manyyears of experience of research in Federated Identity Management, Public Key Infrastructures,Privilege Management Infrastructures, Trust Management and Privacy Management, having participated in many ECand UK projects since the late 90s.

The ISSRG are the authors of PERMIS,a fully functional open source authorisation (or privilege management)infrastructure written in Java. The source code is available here.PERMIS is fully integrated with Shibboleth and Globus toolkit to provide policy basedauthorisation for federated and/or Grid applications using the industry standardSOAP/SAML protocol.

We have successfully run several academic conferences including IFIP CMS in 2004 and 2012, and EuroPKI in 2005.
Areas of Research ActivityResearch grants associated with members of this group are available indetail and summary form. Members are engaged in the following areas ofresearch (research areas in more detail) .
Public Key and Privilege Management Infrastructures Policy based security Privacy and Security User Friendly Security Trust management and metrics and Reputation Systems Security and Risk Management Autonomic Security Some Current and Past Project Links
PERMIS - PERMIS providesapplication builders with software to make access control decisions, and also givesthem tools for managing policies, role assignments, and delegationsbetween users. (http://sec.cs.kent.ac.uk/permis)
OpenPERMIS - The OpenPERMISwebsite hosts the open source code that is used to construct thePERMIS release packages. (http://www.openpermis.info)
LoginsFor Life - The Logins for Life project was a joint venture betweenthe ISSRG and the University's IS department, addressing the needs of theUniversity to engage with stakeholders throughout their lives. (http://www.kent.ac.uk/is/projects/loginsforlife/index.html)
TAS3- The TAS Integrated Project (Trusted Architecture for Securely SharedServices) was a European wide project that developed privacy protecting services for applications handlingpersonal information, which is collected stored at distributedlocations and used in a multitude of business processes. (http://www.tas3.eu)
CLASSe- The CLASSe project is a GEANT open call project which is adding the IETF ABFAB protocol suite to the OpenStack cloud software. It follows on from the successful EPSRC funded My Private Cloud project, which added several TAS3 services to the Eucalyptus open source cloud software, and the Sticky Policy Security APIs for the Cloud project, which integrated protocol independent federation into the OpenStack software.
