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
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.

Description of Activities

"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"

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
A unified approach to developing cybersecurity certification schemes and the possibility of reusing evaluation results produced under different certification schemes would be a dominant factor in decreasing the costs and workload needed for the certification of composite products or services. This could, at least partly, remove financial barriers for SMSs to enter the certification market.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The societal impact measured by increasing confidence in the certification as a powerful cybersecurity tool would be real.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The resulting study in the form of PWI 25543 is aimed at keeping the reference standards as the-state-of_the_art documents which cope with emerging and future technologies in cybersecurity certification.
The goal set up in the plan is strongly supported by sound standards with appropriate scope of application. In this way the assessments can be repeatable and comparable thus create the basis for wide recognition of results which usually appear as certificates respected by all EU Member States.

Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)
Many of the proposed use case contributions continue to spring from our outreach to European experts within SDOs, companies and SMEs. The ISO/TC 307 WG6 programme
provides an active forum for SMEs to:
- Contribute and discuss EU technical initiatives on emerging international standards representing European values, ethics & regulations such as privacy (e.g.: privacy - GDPR/ eIDAS) and European green transition initiatives (e.g.: EBSI blockchain to create trusted digital audit trails).
- SMEs can gain the opportunity to understand the value of standards, via example use cases and models. The use cases provide insights and cross-domain example that can inform SMEs in their product development, and adoption of their technologies.
- Review international use cases and gain insights for EU participation in local markets, or in cross-border /sector issues.
- The Vienna Agreement enables ISO standards to be freely shared with CEN/CENELEC members, including SMEs.
Impact on SMEs (3rd Open Call)
This contribution has a wide impact for European SMEs. One example is where in my role as Convenor of ISO/TC307 WG6 Use Cases, we invite international SME experts to
get involved in regulatory and standards development processes by sharing their insights and creating use cases into emerging technologies.
This approach can enable faster adoption of their business and technical models, and for European SMEs, who create perspectives consistent with EU regulations and societies, such as privacy (GDPR, AI Act) and sustainability (Net Zero and ESG). (See section 2.1) In the lead-up to the ISO/TC 307 Plenary on 4 June 2024, we have gathered 10+ SMEs to showcase and present leading DLT solutions from SMEs, plus involvement in multiple SDO and entrepreneur events including Blockchain Ireland, INABTA etc.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The contribution impacts European SMEs and/or European societies and decision-makers on a high level by developing technical standards in DLT/Blockchain that reflect European democratic values including.
- E-Privacy: EU Artificial Intelligence Act, new Data Act, GDPR
- Fintech and Def: MiCA crypto
- Sustainable initiatives: carbon markets, smart energy
- Interoperable platforms: EBSI, digital product passports
Moreover, I see two major impacts with SMEs. Firstly, international standards enable faster technical adoption for SMEs, as ISO standards provide ‘templates’ of technical systems and guidelines, that provide a baseline for SMEs to build their own solutions that are interoperable and lower risk for potential partners/investors.
Secondly, SME are involved in standards development: The use case methodology in ISO/TC 307 WG6 is based on active outreach to SMEs who are pioneering new DLT capabilities. They provide contributions to the standards through ISO/TC 307 WG6 and ongoing external business events.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
The DLT/Blockchain technology is often referred to as ‘the technology of trust’. This ISO feature on my work at ISO/TC 307 and WG6 Use Cases explains the societal impacts of trust across supply chains, digital trust, data provenance, Energy trading, records management, Anti-counterfeit pharma and food safety and provenance.
Over recent years, blockchain has evolved into a transformational technology promising to offer secure, real-time transactions across different sectors and industries that will
revolutionise the way we do business. ISO is at the forefront of this technology to ensure that its users all speak the same language.
Impact on society (3rd Open Call)
This work sources use cases that can support societal impacts across international priorities such as Net Zero goals for climate change. They can support European values,
democracy, and human rights based on European societal regulations including:
- Privacy: new Data Act, GDPR
- Fintech and Defi: MiCA crypto regulations
- Sustainable initiatives: carbon markets
- Interoperable platforms: EBSI, digital passports,
- And in 2024 the EU Artificial Intelligence Act

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
Despite the fact that 95% of industries are composed of SMEs, there is a significant underrepresentation of this organisation's viewpoint on standards development. I am the liaison officer of the Small Business Standards in all the TCs at ISO. I contribute to giving a voice to European SMEs in standardisation at the European and international levels. In addition, to provide comments in the meetings I promote the use of the compatibility test of the SBS and collaborate in the workshops to facilitate the mutual understanding among the industry and the SDOs.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
These standardisation efforts support the achievement of the objectives of the Green Deal and the SDGs, as well as the political objectives of the European Commission and support for the New European Standardization Strategy. As a convenor position of a key working group at the ISO level, I am able to promote the European values in standards development. In addition, this action promotes the improvement in the efficiency of public services with the use of reliable applications and technologies that contribute to sustainable development.
