The truzzt:box uses the on-chip-based Intel SGX:enclave to process and ship data in federated data spaces. It ensures the highest standards of confidential processing of any data, especially sensitive data, enabling and enhancing an integrated data exchange ecosystem that connects data providers and data consumers via hardware-based controls from the web to the edge to the device.
The evolution of the IoT into the Next-generation IoT will be marked by a series of technological advances which includes contextually aware and distributed intelligence, federated services and microservices, integration of DLTs and smart contracts, and tactile and AR interfaces among others. It is typified by the convergence between the cloud and Edge along the human-cloud computing continuum and is underpinned by the functionalities afforded by 5G networks.&nb...
Last August 2021 BDVA released his community position to the proposal for AI regulation supporting the idea of balancing between regulation and innovation. It is acknowledged the importance of trust and trustworthiness to boost investment and innovation. However, the cost, time, infrastructure, and knowledge needed to e.g. comply with the AI regulation may be burdensome. There is a risk that small companies, research and education organizations might not be able to easily follow and be aff...
