Description of Activities

 The objective is to present LoRa mesh networks to the IRTF GAIA WG of the IETF. GAIA seeks technologies to connect the unconnected world, and with IRTF GAIA as a vehicle, we seek to start the standardisation activity of this new technology. 

Fellow's country
Spain
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The contribution made within this fellowship adds value to the development of LoRa mesh network technology. SMEs may then feel more confident in adopting the technology.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The technology provides a permanent low-cost and low-energy routed multi-hop communication network with moderate data rates. LoRa mesh networks allow a new kind of distributed IoT applications in the long range IoT layer. One of the application areas of LoRa mesh networks is the emerging field of distributed embedded machine learning. LoRa mesh networks are not yet standardised. To initialise standardisation, we will introduce the LoRaMesh networks as a design and reference implementation.

Nicolae Paladi

Description of Activities

Through this fellowship, I am contributing to shape the standards around next-generation secure computing infrastructure. We are on the verge of a new paradigm where the security of the computing infrastructure is endorsed by hardware features and ensures protection of data at rest, in transit, and in use.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
Trusted execution environments (TEEs) allow deploying code and data in a separate, secure segment of computing platforms. Standardised security assessment and provisioning of configuration and personalisation information to Trusted execution environments (TEEs) can be a key contributor to more secure services and an enabler for new products and services.

Marcello Caleffi

Description of Activities

I contribute to developing new standards on the quantum counterpart of the classical Internet Protocol, defined within IETF RFC 791 standard and following standards.
 

Fellow's country
Italy
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The adoption of standardised classical communication protocols significantly accelerates the scalability of quantum networks. As quantum technologies advance, the ability to seamlessly integrate new quantum devices into existing networks becomes crucial. Standardised protocols provide a foundation for the consistent and reliable integration of diverse quantum resources, paving the way for the widespread adoption of quantum technologies across various applications and industries.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
MSP430 microcontrollers are deployed in thousands of IoT devices of European companies in all segments of the Embedded/IoT industry, ranging from automotive appliances over industrial control systems to medical devices. Many of the companies that designed and/or manufactured these devices are SMEs.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
This project has contributed to improve the security of the IoT since cryptographically strong E2E protocols are the foundation upon which secure architectures, systems and protocols can be built.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Rapid advancements in quantum computation, communication and a recent surge in QIPC startups are reshaping the landscape for the European innovation. Initiatives like the European Quantum Flagship, alongside global R&D programs, are channeling billions of euros into developing breakthrough quantum solutions. SMEs, long a cornerstone of the European industry, are now poised to harness quantum standards for critical communication infrastructures, including qubit development, advanced encryption, and network interoperability. These standards, including QRNG standards, will further boost state-of-the-art cybersecurity, laying the foundation for a future quantum internet, driving sustainable techno-economic growth, and ensuring that European SMEs and society remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The work of the IETF ROLL WG significantly impacts European SMEs by developing internationally recognised open standards, such as RPL. RPL presents multiple open-source implementations has been tested through extensive simulations and continuous evaluations. Also, RPL meets all their required capabilities, such as energy-efficient mechanisms, which are pivotal for sustainable growth.
Moreover, the continuous enhancements by the ROLL WG are vital for the evolution and adaptation of new use cases pertinent to the European context. These improvements ensure robust interoperability and adherence to security standards, both critical for SMEs operating in the dynamic European market. This commitment to excellence and relevance is applied in the standard reviews carried out within the IETF Directorates, such as IoT, Routing, and General-Area sectors. Such endeavours underscore our dedication to supporting European SMEs' technological advancement and operational efficiency.
