FUTURE TECH CORE PROGRAM (2023 - 2026) / Resilient and interoperable communication systems based on distributed technologies and self-sovereign digital identity (RoDID)

Resilient and interoperable communication systems based on distributed technologies and self-sovereign digital identity (RoDID)

Project Coordinator: Dr. Eng. Adrian Victor VEVERA – Scientific Researcher II

General objectives of the project

  • Development of a new standard of interoperability and communication based on Blockchain technology and a self-sovereign digital identity system that ensures the basic features of a secure digital environment, conferring confidentiality and integrity, promoting mutual trust.
  • Scientific development by supporting and increasing R&D infrastructures, as well as by expanding the knowledge and performances generated by innovation infrastructures (competence centers, innovation laboratories).

Project description

As part of the project, we aim to build a new ecosystem of secure communications, identity and human-centric data management, by developing the following experimental models:

  • Development of a distributed Blockchain network to ensure access, operation and traceability of data in information exchanges;
  • Development of a new secure communication protocol in the public and academic environment to improve inter-institutional interoperability as well as facilitate the provision of digital services to citizens;
  • Development of an electronic register of issuers of verifiable digital credentials that certify the identity of actors in the ecosystem;
  • Development of a pilot scenario for an applicability field of national interest such as identity verification and the provision of government services in the digital environment.

Estimated results

  • Study on the evolution of Blockchain technology, areas of applicability and existing solutions;
  • Blockchain Network Design Report;
  • Blockchain Network Pilot Product;
  • Digital ledger pilot product for verifiable credential issuers;
  • Study on security aspects of distributed communication systems;
  • Peer-To-Peer communication technology based on decentralized identities;
  • Test report and list of identified vulnerabilities;
  • Piloting the technology developed by organizing a workshop-type event;
  • Scientific articles (minimum 2/year) and participation in conferences;
  • Events dedicated to the presentation of the results obtained within the project.
Short description

The project proposes the introduction of a new standard of interoperability and communication in the issue of identity management and new methods of securing existing cyber spaces.
