UBITECH successfully concluded the DOOR cascading grant project from NGI eSSIF-LAB

UBITECH successfully concluded the DOOR project (Hardware Roots of Trust as an Enabler of Trustworthiness in Digital Transactions) that empowers participating entities in the ESSIF-Framework to establish trust by providing strong verifiable evidence and assurances on the origin and integrity of the presented verifiable credentials. DOOR achieves this goal by building a trusted layer between interacting parties that is based on strong cryptographic privacy-preserving tools. In this way, DOOR can enable the handling of VCs requiring higher level of assurances locally at the holder’s wallet.

UBITECH participates at the Online workshop on Edge Orchestration

On Tuesday June 21, 2022 at 17:30 CEST, the EC co-funded RAINBOW Research and Innovation Action (https://rainbow-h2020.eu/) is hosting an online workshop on “Edge Orchestration”. In particular, platforms for managing Cloud-only infrastructures, such as Kubernetes or OpenStack are well known. Recently various platforms for managing the Cloud-Edge continuum have started to emerge. Both, academia and industry, have presented innovative ideas for tackling the challenges of this domain over the past years. This workshop presents platforms for managing Cloud-Edge infrastructures and applications deployed on them.
