Introduction
The JASON project aims to build a secure system architecture and corresponding programming paradigm for ambient applications that involve a large number of embedded devices. Point of departure is a strict separation of concerns: the programmer only has to specify the security and remote management requirements and then concentrates on implementing the actual functionality of the application.
To this end, the "secure network of objects" paradigm has been developed. It allows programmers to specify requirements for individual methods and for the communication among objects. The JASON platform automatically transforms these into a secure implementation. The resulting platform allows for a straightforward design and programming of a system that is easy to manage remotely.
An example application of JASON is Chess's M2M platform. A typical instance of M2M consists of a network of sensors that monitor changes in an environment. The M2M controllers collect data from the sensors and send it to the Back Office System. This system exhibits a rich set of security requirements, like confidentiality of the sensor data being transmitted, and restricted access to the controllers. The JASON platform translates these requirements into a secure implementation.
The JASON project is a cooperation between the Radboud University of Nijmegen and Chess, Haarlem.
