Trustworthy open source.
Modern software development relies on trustworthy open source ecosystems. We are researching tools and techniques to detect and mitigate open source security vulnerabilities and supply chain weaknesses.
In the FASTEN project we created fine-grained open source supply chain networks in collaboration with Technical University Delft, Athens University of Economics and Business, University of Madrid, XWIKI, OW2, and Hoverture.
