Paradise
Paradise (1989-2002) (Piloting a Research Directory in an OSI Environment) was part of the ESPRIT COSINE[41] project to establish a pan-European computer-based network infrastructure that enabled research workers to communicate with each other using OSI. It was later prefixed NameFlow-Paradise.[42] Paradise implemented a distributed X.500 systems, across over 700 DSAs in over 30 countries. The project is documented in the NameFLOW archive[43] Quipu was the major X.500 implementation used in Paradise. Implementations also came from Inria[44] led by Christian Huitema and Siemens DirX,[45] originating from the Thorn[46] project, implementing the ECMA TR32[47] standard.
MAITS (Multilingual Application Interface for Telematic Services[48]) developed multilingual interfaces for X.400 and X.500 on top of Paradise.
Password
Password[49][50][51] (1993-1995) (Piloting a Secure Service Within OSI R&D) was a European Community-sponsored VALUE program,[52] comprising consortia from France (Inria), Germany (GMD Darmstadt) and the UK (UCL and Nexor), to establish a pilot security infrastructure for network applications for the European research community. The consortium developed secured applications based on X.509, including the OSISEC PKI. The primary application was PEM, a forerunner of S/MIME and SEEOTI. Goodman of UCL was the project manager, and Joerg Reichelt[53] was the Nexor lead engineer.
Eurocoop and Eurocode
Eurocoop (1991-1992)[54] (Esprit III Project 5303) and the follow on project Eurocode (1992-1995)[55] (Esprit III Project 6155)[56] aimed to develop powerful and effective systems for supporting distributed collaborative work. Partners included Aarhus University, GMD Darmstadt, Rank Xerox and ICL. The approach adopted was to integrate components from a number of existing systems and to develop new collaborative tools based on the study of a large-scale technical application that encompasses many collaboration problems. Single components tools were developed that can be integrated with existing tools and that are able to interoperate with each other. ICW[57] was a closely related DTI funded project.

Regis and Renaissance
Regis[59][60] (1995–1998) was a collaborative project with Diamond Cable Communications and University of Sheffield to investigate problems inherent in providing regional business communities with low-cost, high-speed access to local information services. Robbins was the Nexor project manager.
The EU ACTS Project Renaissance[59][61][62] (1995–97) was led by Fretwell Downing to develop a virtual vocational training environment, with the University of Sheffield, Diamond Cable Communications and Yorkshire Cable and delivered to the UK National Centre for Popular Music. Harold Combs[63]
iGRC
The iGRC[64] project (2010-2012), was a collaborative project with HP, Assuria, Infogov, Cranfield University, Loughborough University and Birkbeck, University of London to automate threat level and control status changes for real-time management of the complexity, risk and resilience of secure information infrastructure.
CloudFilter
CloudFilter[65][66] (2012–13) was an EPSRC collaborative project with Imperial College to explore novel methods for exercising control over sensitive data propagation across multiple cloud providers.
Cross Domain Tactical Service Bus
A project led by 2iC to deliver a proof-of-concept demonstration for a Cross Domain Tactical Service Bus,[67] winning the DSEI Innovation Award 2013.[68]
KTP
Project with De Montfort University to research, develop and implement the use of hardware, as a robust alternative to software in high assurance network security devices.[69]
CSIIS
The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence established a programme to realise the potential benefits from novel technology to front line forces. A consortium, led by QinetiQ (called Sirius, comprising over 40 organisations) provides the experience and research capability for CSIIS.[70] In September 2014, Nexor won the best research poster at the Annual Symposium of the UK Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) based on CSIIS work.[71]
CAPRI
An innovate UK funded consortium to lead R&D in connected and autonomous CAVs on-road implementation, in which Nexor provided cyber security services.[72]
MDIS
Nexor was selected by UK MOD to lead a consortium to demonstrate the technical feasibility of data sharing across multiple domains.[73]
