Areas of Expertise

Security and Cybercrime
Electronic information now plays a vital role in almost every aspect of our daily lives. So the need for a secure and trustworthy online infrastructure is more important than ever. without it, not only the growth of the internet but our personal interactions and the economy itself could be at risk.

Projects

Scaleable and Open Framework for Human/Digital Trust between Informal/Formal Personal Health Care Infrastructures
This project extends the e-Health Cloud-based Platform, and integrates with assisted living. The project integrates Edinburgh Napier University, Microsoft and HoIP, and has created a novel governance policy infrastructure using a circle-of-trust relationship for assisted living, which then links to...

Information Sharing between Domains using Policy Integration and Modelling
Symposium on Security Risk, Cybercrime and Critical Infrastructure
This symposium aims to bring together knowledge from many different domains in order to create knowledge exchange and collaborative infrastructures, which address the key risks that Scotland faces. The focus on this symposium is security risk, cybercrime and the protection of critical...
Core Product Development
IIDI is working with Core Business Psychology Ltd supported by the SFC Innovation Voucher scheme
IIDI & The Online Pension Company Ltd
IIDI has been successful in obtaining funding for a new collaborative project with The Online Pension Company Ltd supported by the SFC Innovation Voucher Scheme.
Symposium in Security and Cybercrime
The UK is faced with many new threats which could damage the infrastructure of the country, especially in terms of its critical infrastructure. These threats include the risk to individuals, to communities, and to businesses. Thus there needs to be an integrated approach to understanding these...
Information Sharing between the Police and their Community Partners
This is a three year PhD award from the SIPR (Scottish Institute for Policing Research) and focuses on creating new models for information sharing between the police and their community partners.
DigitalDNA
This work is funded by Scottish Enterprise for a Proof-of-Concept, and involves translating system call information into Digital DNS. It investigates highly authenticated and verifiable digital forensics.
The project involves the collaboration between Edinburgh Napier University and IIS Ltd. Its main focus is to design, develop and test software code for the creation of a novel cloud-based disk analysis product.
Personal health data manager
There are many personal health-data sources but what about destinations? What can you do with your health data after you have collected them? Can you view data from two smartphone apps in a single graph? Can you share this graph with your family?
RATTRAP (Guardian Toolkit)
The Office of Cyber Security & Information Assurance (OCSIA) estimates that the cost of cybercrime to businesses, in the UK alone, is over £21 billion per annum. This project focuses on the real-time assessment of the risks associated with affiliate marketing networks.
e-Health Security Infrastructure Evaluation
IIDI is working with Patient Reminders Limited supported the SFC Innovation Voucher scheme. Patient Reminders Limited provides patient reminder products and solutions for use in clinical studies, pharma marketing, public health, assisted living, safety surveillance, patient care and disease...
Information Sharing between Police and Community Partners
The exchange of information between the police and community partner organisations forms a core aspect of effective policing and community service provision. However, this must be governed by sets of legislative and organisational rules, or policies.
IIDI & Flexiant Ltd
This research project studies the feasibility of a Cloud-based platform which is used to evaluate the performance of digital forensics tools. Along with measuring key quality metrics, such as true-positives, and false-positives, the platform also measures operational performance, such as the speed...
Data Capture and Auto Identification Reference
This project relates to the research collaboration between Edinburgh Napier University, CipherLab, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, GS1 UK, Imperial College, and Kodit, and is funded through a research project with the TSB (Technology Strategy Board).
FSA PhD Studentship
This studentship is funded by the FSA in order to investigate fraud in the area of e-commerce. Throughout the course of the research, we have created an investigatory framework for investigating various types on online fraud. We have chosen to focus our experimentation on fraud in the affiliate...
.net Mobile Agents
Mobile agents are capable of enhancing distributed applications due to their inherent characteristics, such as code and state mobility, network awareness, intelligence, and so on. The predominant development language of mobile agent systems is Java due to its platform independence and sandbox...
