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. 

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.

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.

With AI’s evolution, a growing need for AI ethicists to address ethical, social, and psychological queries is evident. One gap, however, lies in the absence of standardised competencies for these professionals, causing hesitation among organisations to embrace AI ethics.

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.
