This standard defines the key Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs) underpinning smart city platforms and Local Digital Twins, following the methodology described in ITU-T Y.4505 and aligned with the AI-based EU LDT Reference Architecture. It provides normative specifications compatible with CitiVerse requirements for :

• MIM 1: Context Information Management - Standardized APIs and protocols (starting from NGSI-LD) for accessing, updating, and subscribing to context data from diverse sources, ensuring semantic interoperability and real-time data integration across urban platforms.

• MIM 2: Data Models - Common, reusable, and extensible data models (starting from SAREF) that enable consistent representation and exchange of information across domains and systems, supporting discoverability and harmonization of data structures.

• MIM 7: Places - Mechanisms for the standardized representation, identification, and management of geospatial entities (places), enabling location-based services, advanced geospatial queries, and cross-domain referencing of physical and virtual places,with alignment to INSPIRE where applicable.

The standard details technical requirements, interfaces, and conformance criteria for each MIM, ensuring interoperability across platforms while supporting compliance with EU regulations including the Interoperable Europe Act. It builds on ongoing definition efforts of the MIMs framework within Living-in.EU and incorporates implementation experience from pioneer cities. 

ISO/IEC FDIS 29128-3 Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Verification of cryptographic protocols Part 3: Evaluation methods and activities for protocol implementation verification

This document gives guidance on evaluating the implementation of a cryptographic protocol based on the framework provided in ISO/IEC 15408-4. This document specifies the required methods and activities to assess the conformance of a cryptographic protocol implementation to its ISO/IEC 29128-2 based formally verified protocol model. This document specifies assurance metrics for the integrated evaluation of both the cryptographic protocol and its implementation.

Committee Draft (CD) version is intended to be finalized in March 2027

This document specifies accessibility requirements on information provision and communication in support services. This includes general information about the products and services including information on their accessibility. This document provides requirements on an accessible support service designed so that information and communication can be accessed, understood and used. Support services include but are not limited to help desks, call centres, technical support, and training services. It applies to support services that are provided digitally or face to face. NOTE 1 Where relay services are referred to in this document, relay services are a means to communicate in the provision of support services. NOTE 2 It includes support services that are provided directly and those that have been outsourced. It is applicable for all organisations of all sizes and across all sectors.

This document specifies user requirements for the accessibility of non-digital information related to products and services. This document describes test procedures and evaluation methodologies for non-digital information technical solutions. This document is applicable to the presentation of visual, tactile and auditory based non-digital information and instructions, including: - displayed on a product - displayed on the packaging or in the packaging of products - about the use of a product - about installation and maintenance, storage and disposal of products - about products used in the provision of services and about the functioning of the service - about air, bus, rail and waterborne passenger transport services - about consumer banking services. This document is intended for use by organisations that produce products and or provide services. This document does not apply to the presentation of information by ICT products and services, for instance displayed on a screen

ETSI Fifth Generation Fixed Network (F5G); F5G-A Methodology for Hybrid Measurement-Simulation of FTTR

The work item will describe the methodology of hybrid measurement and simulation for wireless FTTR devices in residential environments, such as coverage and bandwidth performance. 

IETF Draft: Quantum-Native Architectural Tenets and Philosophy for the Quantum Internet  

draft-cacciapuoti-qirg-quantum-native-architecture-01

  This document extends RFC 9340 by outlining a set of quantum-native architectural tenets for the design and evolution of the Quantum Internet.  These principles should not be interpreted as dogmas, but as pragmatic guidelines and criteria for harnessing the unique properties of quantum entanglement within networked systems.  Such design perspectives, while departing from the classical Internet, remain aligned with a foundational insight: the principle of constant change, articulated in RFC 1958.

   The document specifies quantum-native extensions to the Quantum  Internet framework, defining an entanglement packet switching paradigm and an explicit separation between the Quantum Data Plane and Quantum Control Plane.  It introduces Quantum Internet Addressing to extend quantum semantics into control and coordination, and generalizes the classical forwarding concept to quantum packets.

CACAO v2.0 empowers organisations to orchestrate, collaborate, and share cybersecurity playbooks. In the ongoing battle against threat actors, organizations must identify, create, document, and test various steps to detect, investigate, mitigate, and remedy potential threats. The culmination of these steps results in a cybersecurity playbook designed to secure organizational systems, networks, data, and users. This standard was published in November 2023.

In October 2026, this standard is revised for CACAO v3. This version is expected to make incident-response procedures easier to exchange, automate and reuse across tools and organisations. Clearer execution semantics can reduce inconsistent implementations and integration effort. For European SMEs, an open, vendor-neutral specification can lower development and market-entry barriers, enable reusable products and integrations, and reduce dependence on proprietary platforms. Wider adoption should help SOCs and CSIRTs coordinate responses more efficiently, strengthening the resilience of businesses and essential services and reducing the societal disruption caused by cyber incidents.
