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.

My fellowship tackles the following gap, the standardisation of clinical information, as clinical information must be standardised to ensure the secure and effective use of language models in electronic health records (EHRs). 

This is a project with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27/WG 5 addressing Identity Management and Privacy Technologies. It feeds into broader standardisation activity around digital identity (including the EUDI Wallet), child protection, prevention of exploitation and abuse, data minimisation, privacy preservation and security objectives.

Through this fellowship project, I am directly pursuing the development, approval, and publication of the following standards: ISO 22739:2024 ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies – Vocabulary’, ISO/TR 24332  ‘Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology in relation to authoritative records, records systems, and records management’ and ISO/NP 24982 ‘Digital currencies – Vocabulary’.

There is a lack of standard procedures installers can employ to determine whether their installation work has caused new electromagnetic interference problems. The challenge is to develop guidelines to help detect major emissions problems in the field early to fix them promptly, in a proactive and preventive manner that are complementary and coherent with standard emissions tests as part of compliance assessment. 

Within my WG, we address the gap in the link between digitisation and environmental sustainability, and particularly of products and services. Specifically, digital devices and related elements ranging from materials to e-waste are a significant part of our environmental problem. 

The ongoing contributions to the Biometric System-on-Card related interindustry ISO/IEC standards address the following three key aspects: bridging definition gaps, enhancing clarity and consistency, and prioritising practical applicability.

My work supports the development of smart energy grids, allowing to integrate a high share of renewable energy sources and to support new usages such as transports electrification (e-mobility). 

This standardisation project will boost the creation of a certification system for biometric solutions to be used in different scenarios. One of the first scenarios to be addressed is the remote identification of citizens using videoconference tools, i.e., using facial recognition with the users’ own personal devices (either computers or mobile devices).

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.

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.

With this fellowship, I am addressing the standardisation of AI systems, with particular focus on the standardisation request of the EU Commission in relation to the AI Act.
