WEBINAR 1: TUESDAY 23RD NOVEMBER, 9am – 10am CET + 5pm – 6pm CET
Recommended 5G SIM – Unlocking the potential of 5G networks (Trusted Connectivity Alliance)
Presenter: Claus Dietze, Senior Director Global Standardisation, G+D Mobile Security + Chair of the Board, TCA
Biography: In his current role, Claus is responsible for defining and driving strategic standardisation activities within G+D’s business segment Trusted Connected Devices. Prior to this, Claus held various positions in project management, R&D, technology office and product management within G+D since joining the company in 1996.
Claus has a long history in standardization of smart card technologies and was seconded to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) from 2002-2003. In 2009, Claus was appointed Director and Head of Embedded Development for mobile device solutions and software security. He headed the Innovation department within the R&D organization from 2014 onwards and was responsible for carrying out technical feasibility studies and prototyping for new technologies.
Claus has a master’s degree in Computer Sciences from the Collaborative University of Mannheim.
Webinar Overview: In the same way that network core architecture is evolving, SIM technology is transforming to meet new challenges and opportunities introduced by 5G. With momentum now building across the industry for Phase 2 deployments, TCA’s latest member market data indicates that mobile network operators already recognise the benefits of upgrading to more advanced SIM technology, but are yet to fully optimise their 5G Phase 1 and 2 deployments to unlock the full potential of 5G networks.
Within this presentation, TCA will explain how mobile network operators select the right choice of SIM technology at 5G launch. It will introduce its updated Recommended 5G SIM paper, which outlines the optimal technical features required by SIM technology, so MNOs to unlock the full benefits of 5G networks, maximise their investments through new features and services, promote the highest levels of trust and functionality and address key challenges posed by 5G migration.
Delegates will learn:
- How the technical features of SIM technology can be used to address the 5G migration challenges beyond network access.
- About the powerful new features introduced by 3GPP Release 16 for 5G Phase 2 deployment, which are aimed at promoting trust, addressing emerging use cases across massive IoT applications, critical communication infrastructures and connected vehicles, and supporting the delivery of enhanced services.
- The key new SIM features enabled by the Recommended 5G SIM – additional subscriber privacy protections; private network access across enterprises and industry verticals; and cellular vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.
- How MNOs can use these various features to enable the delivery of improved mobile experiences are also identified, including: 5G roaming; network slicing support; trusted non-3GPP network access; and multi-device and multi-identity services.

On the Current Status of Post-Quantum Cryptography (Infineon)
Presenter: Peter Pessl, Security Architect, Infineon
Biography:Peter Pessl is a security architect working in the field of Post-Quantum Cryptography at Infineon Technologies. Before joining Infineon, he achieved his PhD and worked as a Postdoc at Graz University of Technology, where his research was aimed at implementation attacks (side channels and faults) and respective countermeasures for cryptographic primitives. In particular, he focuses on implementation security of lattice-based cryptography and other quantum-secure schemes.
Webinar Overview: Quantum computers might one day break many crucial cryptographic methods. Industry, academia, and standardization bodies are preparing for this and are putting significant effort into developing quantum-secure alternatives under the term Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
This talk gives an introduction to PQC and describes the various families of promising schemes. Furthermore, the current status of standardization efforts is shown and challenges for the real-world adoption of PQC are pointed out.

Webinar Overview: Secure Elements running Java Card are widely used to achieve the highest level of security to authenticate users to connect to mobile networks or access web services, make payments, control physical access to buildings or verify the identity of a person. With IoT deployments, we have also demonstrated how Java Card can be used to authenticate devices and secure communication with cloud services, but we face new security challenges to protect edge devices with their peripherals and ensure end-to-end data integrity and confidentiality for IoT solutions.
This webinar explores how to use Java Card on a secure element in an IoT device to secure access to peripherals on an I3C bus. We will present some use cases, propose a design, and describe how a Java Card application can use the Device IO API to implement a secure solution.

Moving towards keyless car access with Digital Car Keys (Thales)
Presenter: Pierre Girard, Senior Cybersecurity Expert, Thales
Biography: Pierre is a Cybersecurity Senior Expert in the Automotive and mobility services business line at Thales.
He co-designs security solutions with customers and partners. He is also technology advisor at corporate level and was previously Principal investigator for smart cities in the Strategy and Innovation division. Before that, Pierre has managed the security architecture team in Gemalto security labs for more than 10 years.
Pierre holds an Habilitation and a PhD in computer security.
Webinar Overview: Digital car keys allow cars users to lock/unlock their vehicles and start the engine, using their smartphone or any other mobile device. This opens a wide range of use cases such as family or friends car sharing, company car fleet management, or rental car seamless experience.
To build users’ trust and keep the highest security level, mobile devices and vehicles need to securely connect with each other. To do so, digital IDs and associated digital keys need to be provisioned and stored securely into each component of the ecosystem: in mobile devices on one side, and in vehicles on the other side. This way, both sides will be able to recognize each other through a secure and mutual digital authentication, based on encryption mechanisms.
The Car Connectivity Consortium, which represents a large portion of the global automotive and smartphone industries with more than one hundred member companies, developed a standardized ecosystem for global smartphone-to-vehicle connectivity solutions (https://global-carconnectivity.org/). This should ensure a large adoption of the CCC Digital Key by all mobile device OEMs, car makers and fleet managers.
Thales actively contributes to the development of the CCC Digital Key specification and certification program. Thanks to our chairman position in the CCC Digital Key Certification working group, Thales´ standardization team has been leading the certification activities since 2019.
This webinar describes the current Digital Key ecosystem, challenges and promises, and also explain Thales secure end-to-end solution for automotive stakeholders looking to implement the latest CCC Digital Key specification.
