General methods for migration of cryptographic algorithms (ITU-T X.506)

Recommendation ITU-T X.506 | ISO/IEC 9594-13 establishes the background for the necessity for establishing crypto agility in the light of coming quantum computers but also when currently used cryptographic algorithms are considered unsafe. It does not alone describe WHY migration is required but also specifies in detail HOW migration is performed. It defines principles for how public-key certificates, attribute certificates and communication protocols can be prepared for migration and it provides tools for how migration can be established. The considerations on migration of public-key certificates are consistent with the approach specified in Rec. ITU-T X.509 | ISO/IEC 9594-8. The approach taken for migration of communication protocols is consistent with the one taken for public-key certificates to allow for a consistent migration strategy. Recommendation ITU-T X.506 | ISO/IEC 9594-13 is technically aligned with IEC TR 62351-90-4 for the electrical power industry.

Description of Activities

The sectors of Digital Twins, Virtual Worlds/Citiverse, IoT and Data Spaces are fragmented, especially the uneven uptake of NGSI‑LD, Smart Data Models/SAREF and governance models creates a barrier for cross‑domain interoperability in cities. Therefore, I focus on harmonising these layers within ITU‑T Citiverse and EU Local Digital Twin  (LDT) Toolbox. I also contribute to aligning LDT and Data Space governance with UNE 0087:2025 and the Gaia‑X Trust Framework to operationalise sovereignty, compliance and automated conformance. Moreover, I contribute to mapping LDT/MIM8, NGSI‑LD, SIMPL and Citiverse deliverables to speed deployment and avoid duplicate or conflicting specs.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
Libelium is a SME and it has directly contribute to Libelium and other SMEs working on Data Spaces, Digital Twins and Citiverse by lowering entry costs via reusable NGSI‑LD/MIM8 profiles and Toolbox components; reduced lock‑in and faster integrations, and making easier the market access to Data Space Ready patterns (CT73/UNE) and Gaia‑X alignment for trustworthy exchange.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
I see a bit different societal impact of each target project:
Interoperable public services and vendor‑neutral procurement via NGSI‑LD/MIM8 profiles.
Trustworthy data sharing for cities/SMEs through UNE 0087 an Gaia‑X trust mechanisms.
Inclusive urban innovation under the Citiverse initiative (human‑centred, open, safe).

Description of Activities

In my fellowship i have been working to support the challenge of native integration of AI in the context of communication networks. While much success has been achieved in addressing network use cases with intelligent technologies, this has predominantly been applied in a case by case basis, with resulting outputs added to the networks in an ad-hoc way. Instead, AI-native networks are envisioned to accommodate the ubiquitous and native deployment of AI-based solutions in the network.
Through the work of the ITU-T Focus Group on AI-Native Networks, I contributed to the elaboration of use case, and associated requirements. I have also been supporting on the analysis of relevant key technologies that are required to realise the requirements derived from the use cases.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
AI-native networks are set to increase the amount of automated operation within our networks, making them more scalable and resilient and decreasing OPEX. From a consumer perspective, this will translate to more reliable service operation at a lower cost.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
Integration of AI in the management and operation of telecommunication networks, supports increased automation, reducing the operational expenditure and increasing the reliability of their operation. Together, this supports cheaper, more resilient, and high quality critical national infrastructure for society that relies on such networks for entertainment, maintain societal bonds, education, emergency support, and commerce. In this way, this work in-directly supports this by supporting standardisation that eases the integration of AI in networks.

Description of Activities

My fellowship supports the development of a standardized framework for trustworthy, AI-native digital infrastructure by moving away from centralized, opaque architectures toward decentralized, composable, and transparent platforms. It addresses key challenges in current digital ecosystems, such as fragmentation, centralization, and lack of trust, with priorities including the development of AI-native composable infrastructure that embeds transparency, privacy, and accountability; the advancement of standards for federated AI, digital twin interoperability, and decentralized identity; and the resolution of gaps in trustworthy execution and governance to reduce Europe’s dependency on non-European platforms. The fellowship further seeks to enable federated, decentralized AI, ensure data sovereignty, and align composable infrastructure with European values of privacy, fairness, and transparency. These standardisation efforts are very significant in facilitating the timely adoption of emerging technologies with a global, interoperable standard for future AI infrastructure.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
By enabling open, interoperable, and composable infrastructure, the project supports SME participation, fosters innovation, and drives human-centric, privacy-compliant digital services for European society. Its outcomes will empower key sectors such as smart cities, manufacturing, energy, and healthcare to deploy AI-powered, decentralized services with built-in trust and autonomy, accelerating the development of data-driven business models and open marketplaces that deliver user-centric and adaptive digital experiences. Moreover, the project strengthens European leadership in ethical and human-centric AI by providing a blueprint for technical standards that embed transparency, privacy, fairness, and sustainability by design.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
The accelerating integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into all layers of our digital society is transforming how services, data, and infrastructure operate. However, as AI systems become more pervasive, there is a growing need to ensure that the underlying infrastructure is not only intelligent, but also trustworthy, interoperable, secure, and aligned with human-centric values. This activity directly addresses that need by proposing a reference architecture and standardisation framework for trustworthy AI-native infrastructure, enabling both "AI for infrastructure" and "infrastructure for AI".

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)
The metaverse and eXtended Reality market is characterised by an intense battle for technological ecosystems. American companies dominate the XR platforms for desktop and handheld XR; VR headsets come from the USA, Taiwan or China; game consoles come from Japan or the USA. In Europe, there are many software manufacturers and a few hardware manufacturers. For suitable market access, standardisation is absolutely critical to digital sovereignty and strategic autonomy, and finally to the success of Europe’s SMEs.
