USER-FRIENDLY TOOLS
To protect consumers against security and privacy (S&P) cyberthreats (attacks, abusive practices and inappropriate behaviours of digital services).
COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
For Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and Authorities to ensure that digital products are transparent, secure and in compliance with regulation.
KNOWLEDGE
To foster S&P-by-design in software engineering by supporting developers and digital service operators with standards and certification methods.
Overall mission
TRUST aWARE mission is to provide a holistic and effective digital Security & Privacy (S&P) framework comprising a set of novel and integrated tools and services co-created by citizens and stakeholders (CERTs, DPAs, organisations, developers and policy-makers) to identify, audit, analyse, prevent, and mitigate the impact of the various S&P threats associated with citizen’s digital activities in a timely manner, while enhancing software trust and regulatory compliance.
Consortium
The project addresses a complex socio-technical challenge that requires an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to be successfully addressed. The expertise brought by the partners forming this consortium reflects this multidisciplinary approach that will enrich the projects efforts, and the quality of outcomes.
For fostering the transfer of knowledge and exploitation of TRUST aWARE, a strong public-private partnership has been established among 12 partners from 7 European countries: 4 user associations, 3 industrial companies, 3 research organisations, 1 CERT body and 1 international platform.

The complexities of FOTA Apps in the Android ecosystem
Android firmware updates are typically managed by the so-called FOTA (Firmware Over-the-Air) apps. Such apps are highly privileged and play a critical role in maintaining devices secured and updated. The Android operating system offers standard mechanisms to vendors to implement their own FOTA apps, but such vendor-specific implementations could be a source of security and privacy issues due to poor software engineering practices. In a recent large-scale study, TRUST AWARE members performed a systematic analysis of the FOTA ecosystem through a dataset of 2013 FOTA apps detected with a tool designed for this purpose over 422,121 pre-installed apps. The findings include that 43% of FOTA apps are developed by third parties, that some devices can have as many as 5 apps implementing FOTA capabilities, and that some apps present behaviours that can be considered privacy intrusive, such as the collection of sensitive user data (e.g., geolocation linked to unique hardware identifiers), and a significant presence of third-party trackers.
