The project is to develop a new technology using artificial intelligence algorithms and Data Science. As Prof. Piotr Lipiński, project coordinator at the university, says:
The core of innovation of our technology will be integrated solutions for detecting anomalies using artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Such a combination will ensure the highest guarantees of authenticity and integrity of all components of the computing cluster, and thus a high level of cyber security.
In the world of digital content and digitised resources, the use of blockchain system gives the possibility to ensure certainty and unchangeability of stored data. Prof. Lipiński, referring to the use of the developed technologies, says:
Thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms, defective, attacked microservices or cluster components will be automatically eliminated from the processing of protected data. A cluster secured in this way will be able to defend itself against attacks. Any attempts to circumvent the security measures are recorded using blockchain technology, which will translate into non-repudiation of business transactions performed in the cluster.
The project, worth over PLN 2.5 million, received funding in the National Centre for Research and Development competition from the Operational Programme Intelligent Development. The project "Environment for construction and exploitation of secure applications operating in the cloud based on intelligent detection of anomalies in computing clusters and blockchain/DLT cryptographic techniques. will be implemented at Lodz University of Technology by a team of researchers from the IInstitute of Information Technology at the Faculty of Technical Physics, Information Technology and Applied Mathematics.
