2nd GAIA-X Summit
2021-11-18 13:00 - 2021-11-19 12:00 (Europe/Berlin)
GAIA-X pushes for a federated and secure data infrasctructure: innovation through digital sovereignty by establishing an ecosystem in which data is made available, collated and shared in a trustworthy environment. The users always retain sovereignty over their data. So, what emerges is not a cloud, but a federated system that links many cloud services providers and users together.
The second GAIA-X summit will show how data and services are actually being shared in a trusting environment of the Gaia-X ecosystem. Day 1 will focus on vision and internationalisation and show how GAIA-X creates business values, with insighs from international hubs and data spaces. Day 2 will explain where we are, and what is next.

5GCROCO: SECURITY WITH MQTT V3.1.1

MQTT stands for “Message Queuing Telemetry Transport”. This protocol was designed 1999 for machine-to-machine telemetry in low bandwidth environments for TCP/IP networks.
MQTT started as a proprietary protocol, it was released Royalty free in 2010 and became OASIS standard in 2014. MQTT was fast becoming one of the main protocols of IOT (internet of things) deployments.
MQTT v3.1.1 is in Common Use, the new version MQTT v5 has been approved in Jan 2018 and is currently in Limit use.
This web-seminar gives an overview of security threats and common vulnerability patterns of the MQTT v3.1.1 protocol if you don’t use today’s state-of-the-art security features of TCP/IP.
The web-seminar shows methods to put security into MQTT v3.1.1 protocol and pinpoints the advantages and disadvantages for each case that will be discussed.
The target audience of this web-seminar are developers with a good understanding of TCP/IP and MQTT-protocol. As preparation we suggest reading Section 4.5.2 of 5GCroCo Deliverable D3.2.
Speaker: Erik Wegscheider was engaged in military projects (DOD-STD-2167A) and was working most of the time for customers with attentions in data security (PII-data, health data).
He has more than 25 years’ security experience with IT-Network architecture with deep Knowledge of IP protocols, in particular with Firewalls and other security appliances. Erik has best practice with security in data centers and field experience as auditor for IT-Security-Audits.

Practical insights from 5G Test, Measurement and KPI Validation with vertical applications
2021-06-18 09:00 - 13:00
Scope:
The Test, Measurement, and KPIs Validation (TMV) Working Group was founded as part of the 5G PPP effort to promote commonalities across projects that have strong interest in the Test and Measurement methodologies needed to provide support to the vertical use cases in 5G experimentation networks. Such efforts include the development of Test and Measurement methods, test cases, procedures and KPI formalization and validation to the greatest possible extent, ensuring a unique European vision on how to support the entire lifecycle of the 5G network, from R&D to actual deployed environments.
This webinar will present the resent results of the work group, which are two-fold. The first session will focus on the presentation and contextualization of the performance results obtained so far, as well as identifying the impact factors that influence the performance. The second session will focus on the mapping of verticals service and application KPIs onto network performance KPIs, as well as exemplifying this mapping for several vertical sectors.
