IT Consultancy/Development

With this fellowship, the aim is to create and continue working on a Technical standard proposal, and I decided to push such action to Joint Working Group 4 which is directly in liaison with ISO/SC27 in charge of the security of IT systems. 

The targeted ICT standards development activity aims to address the dynamic changes in the European Union's financial services landscape, driven by the Payment Services Directive (PSD3), Payment Services Regulation (PSR), and financial data access (FIDA). The objective is to adapt and enhance existing standards to align with the regulatory updates introduced by PSD3, PSR, and FIDA.

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. 

The objective of this fellowship is to include European contributions on viable methodologies on semantic interoperability in ISO standards: ISO SC41 IoT and Digital Twin, with a focus on practical use cases in the domains of health/well-being.

Standardisation work continues with the integration of new technologies, new insights, and new requirements of different verticals. It is very important that EU science, industry, and also users are well represented and engaged in this process. 

Considering the publication of the AI Act, in the next months a challenge will be given to supporting the application of the EU Regulation with a complete vision of existing standards, giving also some orientations to individuate possible new standardisation requests where needed.

This project should therefore have a positive impact on the ability of SMEs to produce and assess quality NLP systems, and should simplify compliance with the AI Act requirements.

My fellowship contributes to the standardisation on trustworthiness and security of AI generative pre-trained models to establish a robust framework that addresses the escalating concerns surrounding the security risks and privacy implications associated with the development, deployment, and utilisation of these advanced AI models.

The expected impact of the project is to provide stakeholders with a certification as defined in article 42 of the GDPR, thus improving trust between actors in a context of PII processing.

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.

"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.
