[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Standardization bodies, alliances and associations” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center”][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The European and International standards, which CyberNEMO want to closely follow due to their special relevance for the CYBERNEMO project are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

ENISA<\/span><\/strong>: Since 2004, ENISA supports the pan-European Cybersecurity Exercises, the development and evaluation of National Cybersecurity Strategies and the CSIRTs cooperation. It performs studies on IoT and smart infrastructures, addressing data protection issues, privacy enhancing technologies and privacy on emerging technologies, eIDs and trust services, identifying the cyber threat landscape, and others. It assures the development and implementation of the European Union’s policy on matters relating to network and information security and assists the European institutions in establishing and implementing vulnerability disclosure policies on a voluntary basis. Since 2019, it draws up cybersecurity certification schemes.<\/span><\/p>\n

AIOTI<\/span><\/strong>: The AIOTI (Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation) is a partner for the European Commission on IoT policies and programs, helping to the deployment of IoT Innovation in Real Scale Experimentation in Europe. It is a member-driven organisation with equal rights for all members. The document published by the WG3 in October 2019 \u201cIoT LSP Standard Framework Concepts\u201d provides a list of IoT Standards Developing Organisation (SDO), Alliance and Open-Source Software (OSS) landscapes to be used as input for the recommendations for Large Scale Pilots (LSPs). In addition to the WG3 on IOT standardization, the topic of the WG11 is \u201cSmart Manufacturing\u201d and the topic of one horizontal WG is on Distributed Ledger Technologies. The Distributed Ledger Technologies WG is working on mapping current Blockchain implementations, rate the models toward current legal compliance (incl. GDPR), assist all existing AIOTI WG\u2019s on Blockchain implementations and develop Blockchain ecosystems across verticals.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETSI<\/span><\/strong>: The European Telecommunication Institute works in different types of committees: TC (Technical Committees) addressing standardization activities in a specific technology area, Projects (EP) similar but established for a fixed period of time, ETSI Partnership Project established when there is a need to cooperate with other organizations to achieve a standardization goal and Industry Specification Group (ISG) focusing on a specific activity. <\/span><\/p>\n

Several ETSI committees provide opportunities to demonstrate and validate proposed standards and to contribute project results to them. The TC SAI (securing artificial intelligence) WG focuses on securing artificial intelligence and provides trustworthiness for AI models and applications. The ISG ZSM (Zero Touch Network & Service Management) focuses on network automation and provides mechanisms and solutions to enable zero touch network. ETSI TC DATA (Data Solutions) focuses on standards for data interoperability, privacy, and responsible sharing across IoT and telecom sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

IETF<\/span><\/strong>: The Internet Engineering Task Force develops Internet standards that are widely adopted by users, network operators, and devices. The IETF influences in the evolution of the Internet, but do not govern it, encouraging participation from anyone interested, promoting inclusivity and diversity while adhering to principles of open processes, technical expertise, and a volunteer-driven, consensus-based decision-making approach. The IETF publishes technical standards, encapsulated in Requests for Comments (RFCs), that outline Internet protocols like DNS or TLS. The process begins with an Internet-Draft created by participants in a working group, which, after rigorous review, is finalized into an RFC. The IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) is a parallel organization focusing on long-term research issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

ECSO<\/strong>:<\/b><\/span> The European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) ASBL is a fully self-financed non-for-profit organisation under the Belgian law, established in June 2016. ECSO is the private counterpart to the European Commission in implementing the contractual Public-Private Partnership (cPPP) on cybersecurity. It unites a variety of European cybersecurity stakeholders across the EU Member States, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and H2020 Programme associated countries. ECSO’s main goal is to develop a competitive European cybersecurity ecosystem, to support the protection of the European Digital Single Market with trusted cybersecurity solutions, and to contribute to the advancement of the European digital autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n

6G-IA<\/span><\/strong> refers to the 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA). It is the voice of European Industry and Research for next generation networks and services. Its primary objective is to contribute to Europe\u2019s leadership on 5G, 5G evolution and SNS\/6G research. The 6G-IA represents the private side in both the 5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) and the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU). In the 5G-PPP and SNS JU, the European Commission represents the public side. The 6G-IA brings together a global industry community of telecoms & digital actors, such as operators, manufacturers, research institutes, universities, verticals, SMEs and ICT associations. The 6G-IA carries out a wide range of activities in strategic areas including standardization, frequency spectrum, R&D projects, technology skills, collaboration with key vertical industry sectors, notably for the development of trials, and international cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 6G-IA Security working group aims to bring together the projects within the 6G SNS-IA that have a common interest in the development and progression of topics related to 6G security. The group will ensure, to as great an extent as possible, that the projects are working in a complimentary manner towards consistent goals, exchanging ideas, minimizing the duplication of effort, contributing towards relevant standards and where possible cooperating on the development of compatible components, demonstrators, the exchange of expertise, experience and results.<\/span><\/p>\n

OASIS<\/span><\/strong> was founded under the name “SGML Open” in 1993 as a consortium of vendors and users devoted to developing guidelines for interoperability among products that support the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). The consortium changed its name to “OASIS” (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) in 1998 to reflect an expanded scope of technical work.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are several active OASIS Technical Committees linked to C4IIoT innovations:<\/span><\/p>\n
