ENTRUSTED, a new research project dedicated to the development of secure satellite communications for governmental users, is launched today. The project will be implemented by almost 20 institutions representing EU member states and EU agencies. The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is among this project’s stakeholders and will participate in the definition of user requirements for a future secure EU SatCom service and contribute in identification of the key technological factors responding to EU governmental needs including maritime safety related activities.
