Item Seamless Communication for Crisis Management(2012) Wojciechowicz, Wojciech; Fournier, Jacques; Konecny, Miroslav; Vanya, Stefan; Stoodley, John; Entwisle, Phil; Hein, Daniel M.; Machalek, Aurel; Fournaris, Apostolos; Uriarte, Mikel; Lopez, Oscar; O’Neill, Shaun; Bradl, Hans; Balogh, Zoltan; Gatial, Emil; Hluchy, Ladislav; Mirosław, Tomasz; Zych, JanSECRICOM – Seamless Communication for crisis management was a research and development project, realised within the Seventh Framework Programme (7PR). The aim of this project was to develop reference solution based on existing infrastructure, which will be capable to ensure secure and efficient communication for operational crisis management. The project was an answer to the European Security Research Advisory Board (ESRAB) report, in which key requirements for a communication system have been stated. Secure and efficient communication system is a necessity for effective crisis management. It is assumed that such infrastructure may significantly increase rescue actions effectiveness. Currently, however, there are cases when various services (not only domestically but also internationally) use heterogeneous telecommunications systems. It results in the lack of or significant problems with mutual communication. Such situation is often considered problematic and posing a threat to the effective rescue actions. For this purpose, a secure and multi-platform communications system (SECRICOM Silentel) has been developed within SECRICOM project. The Multi Bearer Router (MBR) optimise the backbone network by the use of multiple bearers and dynamic adjustment to various conditions. Advance mechanisms enhancing end-user devices’ security – Secure Docking Module (SDM) – have been developed using Trusting Computing principles. Secure Agent Infrastructure (SAI) ensures – based on agents’ infrastructure – secure access to distributed data. The system is supplemented with network monitoring platform – Communication Security Monitoring and Control Centre. The SECRICOM project resulted in a communication system prototype, which is capable of ensuring interoperability as well as secure and efficient communication for operational crisis management. This system has been demonstrated on several occasions to the stakeholders.
