Markus Sabadello

Description of Activities

The standards I am dealing with are the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Model (VCDM) 2.0 in conjunction with the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Integrity 1.0 specification for securing VCs. The contribution of this project will be a specification for a new W3C VC Data Integrity suite, i.e. a mechanism for securing Verifiable Credentials (VCs).

Impact on SMEs (3rd Open Call)
ISO/TC 178 has a liaison to:
- ELA European Lift Association
- SBS - Small Business Standards with EFESME (European Federation for Elevator Small and Medium-sized Enterprises aisbl) as an expert member for lifts.
Both associations are highly interested in this topic and with this liaison they participate actively at the ISO/TC 178 meetings as well as at the relevant WG meetings.
Chairing the meeting and giving them also relevant time in the meetings to talk and bring up their issues is essential for them; this is under my responsibility and highly considered within my leadership.

Impact on society (3rd Open Call)
Lifts, escalators and moving walks are essential elements for the transportation of society.
With this work safe access and accessibility for all is provided. Furthermore, this work encompasses energy efficiency and adherence to the United Nations’ sustainability goals namely 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 which are integral components of the standards.

Description of Activities

This work is addressing the demand of harmonised standards for radio regulations certification. In particular it is addressing RFID in the UHF frequency bands 865-868 and 915-921 MHz.

Open Call Topics
IoT Internet of Things
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
SMEs are major contributors in the RFID industry, contributing to in particular tags, readers and system integration. All of them require harmonised standards. Therefore, the work and content of ISO/IEC 18000-63 is very important to them.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
This activity is the continuation of the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC31 WG4 "Radio communications" work to serve the international and European industry and society to enhance standards to better serve the needs of Europe and the whole world and in particular to provide standards that are in particular relevant for IoT and DPP.
RFID (UHF RFID, RAIN RFID) are a major used technology for the supply chain and production to reduce overproduction and waste. Furthermore, it is a technology for the Digital Product Passport, which is strongly supported by the European Commission for sustainable product regulations.

Description of Activities

This technical report, resulting from my fellowship’s contributions, is an equitable analysis of the relationship between Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-quantum Cryptography (PQC) technologies. It describes the two technologies' complementary nature and highlights their potential advantages and benefits.

Fellow's country

Open Call Topics
Cybersecurity/Network and Information security
Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The development of this TR is significant to the European market, mainly because Europe is pushing very hard for the development of QKD while NIST favors PQC. NIST has marked QKD as a technology not to be adopted for cybersecurity, and some of these decisions might contradict the European Cybersecurity roadmap.
The European Commission also invests heavily in developing a QKD European Network and hybrid QKD-PQC protocol implementations, and the European Space Agency is involved in many free-space QKD communication projects.
The development of this standard is significant to the European market, mainly because Europe is pushing very hard for the development of QKD while NIST favors PQC.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
My fellowship supports the creation of CEN/CENELEC/JTC22 WG4 working Items (WI) aiming to develop a Technical Report for QKD related technologies.
CEN/CLC/JTC 22/WG4/WI JT022002 (QKD and PQC - An equitable analysis) was accepted. Due to increased activity in the European Networks to implement hybrid cybersecurity protocols of QKD-PQC, the European Commission requested that the hybrid solutions should also be included in the existing WI JT022002, which currently analyses QKD and PQC separately. Therefore, the proposed activity in this application is an extension of the current WI Technical Report to cover the hybridization protocols.

Quote

Quantum Computing is often presented as one of the most promising and disruptive technologies of the 21st century. Harnessing it from research to market starts with standardisation work. StandICT.eu2026 was able to support my standardisation efforts in the field of quantum, and by those means also bolster my company’s knowledge at the technical level.
