Proposal number: F4Fp-SME-COD210615-01

SUMMARY REMARKS & TESTBEDS

Cybercrime inflicts damages totalling €5.56 trillion. A hack attack occurs every 39 seconds, and about 300,000 new malwares are created daily. Inspired by our patent on circumventing Operating System vulnerabilities for secure transactions:

1. we (ZEROV consortium of 8 European experts)
2. recently introduced a radical Zero Vulnerability Computing (ZVC)
3. concept to tackle the cybercrime menace

ZVC eradicates computer vulnerabilities by completely obliterating a computer’s attack surface that bad actors often exploit to inject malware. In this project, we build and test a thin ZVC variant that sanitizes a USB device against malware by eliminating its attack surface.
