UBITECH presents a scientific paper on PKI and DAA-Based Architectures for V2X Communication Security at IEEE VNC 2023

Dr Thanassis Giannetsos, Head of UBITECH’s Digital Security & Trusted Computing Research Group, and his co-authors present an extended comparative technical evaluation of PKI and DAA-Based Architectures for V2X Communication Security at the 2023 IEEE Vehicular Networking Conference (VNC) that is held from April 26-28, 2023, in Istanbul, Türkiye. In particular, as the emerging Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) landscape is expanding in terms of security and trust requirements, to provide the necessary enablers for the safety of critical operations (i.e., collision avoidance), Public Key Infrastructure (PKIs) and Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) schemes have been proposed by the literature, in order to provide authenticity over the exchanged messages. DAA schemes can help address several challenges of centralized PKIs by offering a more scalable solution for pseudonym certificate reloading and revocation.

QUBITECH team drives the activities of the HoloCIM research action towards the realization of a holography based photonic Ising Machine

QUBITECH’s partners, Dr Alexis Askitopoulos and Dr Simos Tsintzos, participate at the kick-off meeting, hosted by the University of Cyprus at its campus in Nicosia (February 21, 2023), of the HoloCIM action funded under the CO-DEVELOP programme – that is part of the Research and Innovation Foundation‘s RESTART Programmes for Research, Technological Development and Innovation of the Republic of Cyprus. The 24-month HoloCIM project, spanning the period February 2023 – January 2025, proposes a holography based photonic Ising Machine that utilizes and enhances newly established holographic and nonlinear photonics principles for the efficient solution of combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). The latter cannot be efficiently solved with modern digital computer architectures. HoloCIM aims to create an online user interface to be scientifically and commercially used from interested parties such as research institutions, academia, and industry.
