On
the 31st of October, REWIRE and CERTIFY projects arranged their first bilateral
virtual meeting, for an open discussion on the two projects’ latest
developments and their next steps. REWIRE project was represented by Charemis
Athanasios from UBITECH and CERTIFY project was by Stephano Sebastio from
Collins Aerospace.
The
agenda of the meeting was divided into two parts. In the first round, both
representatives provided a short overview presentation for each project,
describing their visions and objectives, the partnership structure, and the
developments on the architectural frameworks, while giving a comprehensive
overview of their achievements and milestones so far. Emphasis was given on the
requirements setting and the conceptual architectures of both platforms.
The
second part involved an open discussion dedicated to the major challenges for
the successful implementation of both the projects, the technologies and
innovations involved and the workflow processes.
Since,
both projects aim to define and establish advanced methodological frameworks
for the organizational approach toward IoT security lifecycle management, an
open discussion and ideation for future collaborations took place. At this
stage of the conversation, both projects identified a series of potential
synergies and upcoming opportunities for bilateral collaboration and broader
activities with the participation of EU projects under the umbrella of similar
clusters.
Overall,
the meeting was very productive, as well as the potential impact of both
projects. More specifically, in terms of their outcomes and outputs, both
consortia aim to maximize their overall impact for the IoT market and EU
societies and explore further exploitation and uptake opportunities.
In
the end, the participants defined the next steps for the continuance of the two
projects’ collaboration. The two projects co-decided a follow-up workshop on
the requirements and architectures of their platforms, with the broad
participation of the technical coordinators and technical partners. Some of the
core areas of future collaborations are considered Trusted Execution
Environment (TEE), also known as a Secure Enclave, the adoption of open-source
architectures based on RISC-V, automation with Zero-Trust Onboarding, and
Secure Updates.
