Cybersecurity/Network and Information security

My work aims to develop robust frameworks for the verification of cryptographic protocols within the security of ICT products, services, and processes, thereby enhancing resilience against cyber threats.

Improving security is one of the most, if not the most, important priorities for the evolution and future development of the IoT.

This fellowship allows me to take part to all meetings concerning Cybersecurity, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence (even most are very early or very late in the day, as per rules for scheduling in SDO's), whilst being able to keep delivering standard based consulting especially for SMEs which need to comply for ISO 27001 certifications mostly. 

My fellowship focuses on several priorities and key gaps related to AI and cybersecurity standards applied in education.

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.

By integrating ZTA, the project allows for more secure, scalable, and flexible access control mechanisms, which are crucial for the protection of sensitive data and systems against evolving cyber threats.

"Once the revision is done, we will disseminate it across the different stakeholders, and it will allow the community to learn the newest editions of widely recognised international standards that support the cybersecurity certification and technical aspects of the process of revision"

My fellowship significantly contributes to the ICT standards landscape by advancing the Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) standards, particularly within the ISO/IEC 17839 series.

The number of devices in these areas vastly outnumbers the number of human beings and this area is almost unprotected, which could have detrimental effects on our society. It is the hope that the project could be one way to enable a broader cybersecurity protection.

Work on ICT readiness is essential for organisations facing increasing risks and threats in an unstable environment when they rely more and more on ICT, supplying them guidance to gain more resilience to infrastructures and organisations.

This fellowship is meant to increase confidence in cybersecurity through the convergence of international SDOs and the alignment behind a common international standard which relates both to the market and society.

I estimate that digital identities, and the way to ensure appropriate levels of assurance and handling of corresponding credentials, are key for the digital society.
