Security and privacy into safe automated systems

The EU project Secredas created a powerful reference architecture to help solution architects systematically integrate privacy and security into safe automated systems - while balancing stakeholder concerns.

This architecture enables re-use of proven solution elements, reducing risks of errors and design flaws across automotive, health, and railway domains. It provides:

  • Customer, Business & Technical views for clear solution design
  • Best-practice privacy & security principles to guide decisions
  • Stepwise reasoning methods for applying principles (see Figure 3)

With this framework, architects can confidently apply market-ready security and privacy technologies across diverse contexts, fostering collaboration and consistency.
