- Strengthening security and privacy of biometrics applications through standards
E-Privacy
Toward the development of EU-friendly solutions for biometrics-based services, employing strong privacy enhancing technologies, thus going further contractual/organisational requirements, to ensure privacy and security by design. Promoting the use of the newest privacy enhancing technologies is in particular very important (biometric technologies are more and more seen as a way to fight against authentication/identification threats in our digital lives) as sharing or leaking biometric information without appropriate protection can be very critical.

- Global blockchain and DLT standards on Security, Privacy and Identity
Cybersecurity/Network and Information security
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger technologies are developed directly in a global environment and thus the activity impacts EU and SMEs in EU, as for the way EU specificities and regulations (e.g. GDPR, eIDAS, NIS, MiCA) considered as early as possible. Also many SMEs in EU are positioned around security of web 3.0 applications and on decentralized identity and future standards on this matter would be key for procurement.

Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies
Global blockchain and DLT standards on Security, Privacy and Identity (2029-01-1531): Helping the development of EU-friendly solutions based on blockchain and DLT, that will support further innovation in EU market, and provide tools for common approach (and regulations when appropriate) between the member states in security, privacy, identity, and other areas. Supporting sustainability and broader impact of EU innovative projects and frameworks in the next years thanks to the TC 307 deliverables and to the animation of a friendly discussion/working forum for experts. Enabling a constructive collaboration between the different related standardization working groups around application of blockchain and DLT (TC 307, ITU-T SG17, JTC19,...). Supporting collaboration in order to facilitate that the future international standards can be leveraged in EU market with respect to EU existing frameworks (GDPR, CRA, eIDAS v2, EBSI, EU digital identity).
Joint development and convergence of security evaluation standards in biometrics ( (2029-01-1533): Alignment with EU frameworks and ambitions, and improving current standards to better take in account latest threats, are required to ensure EU solutions providers / vendors can achieve & demonstrate appropriate level of security and privacy protection in EU. International standards are justified by the fact that biometrics ecosystem cannot sustain only in EU and thus needs global recognition to justify R&D investments.

In this batch, I had three separate fellowships, all focusing on diffent ICT areas and working groups where I contribute to ongoing standardisation projects.
1. Fellowship 2029-01-1531 contributes to standards development within ISO/TC 307/JWG 4 - joint working group between ISO/TC 307 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 dedicated to Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies.
2. Fellowship 2029-01-1533 focuses on electronic identification and trust services (including e-signature) and contributes to several new and revised standardisation projects within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27/JWG 7 - joint working group between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37.
3. Fellowship 2029-01-1535 targeted on electronic identification and trust services sectors within ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 - on-going revision of ISO/IEC 29115. Discussions on new standards related to identity wallets (related also to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17), and consideration of wallets within Age assurance standards ISO/IEC 27566.
