Concept and objectives. The SHIELD project aims at addressing Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) issues in the context of Embedded Systems (ESs) as “built in” rather than as “add-on” functionalities. SPD Certification aspects covered by SHIELD will be appointed by future R&D investigations To reach this goal the project aims at establishing an innovative approach in the SPD market, based on availability of a flexible architectural framework that will respond to different application needs. The main assumption which drives SHIELD activities is that intelligent functions embedded in components and devices will be the key factor in empowering next generation industrial processes and markets in Europe. As a consequence, the design of an innovative SPD-based framework where new functionalities and improved quality of existing solutions co-exist with the capability of delivering such architecture in a competitive cost- effective time frame, will impact on European competitiveness in a large range of domains as automotive, defense, health, industry and energy.
