Description 

GOAL

GSMA during the 2019 is planning to investigating investigate the characteristics and behaviour behavior of DLT for IoT applications which utilise that utilize mobile connectivity. The idea is to gain a better understanding of the benefits of using DLT and how some of the challenges of IoT, where there are a lot of stakeholders involved, can be bridged. GSMA is also looking at the interoperability with other DLT technologies. One example could be in relation to device identity, or validation of the installed firmware/software. In general, we are not looking to store actual data produced by the devices, due to privacy and data protection laws (i.e. GDPR).

...

• Cryptographically secured identity
• Autonomous provisioning
• Decentralization

...

Existing identity management systems on the Internet cannot be directly transplanted to IoT environments due to native IoT characteristics and needs such as scalability, trustless, interoperability, mobility, security and privacy

...

• Participating and contributing to an open-source project
• Collaborating with other developers over common open-source communication and collaboration tools. / calls / chat / mailinglistmailing list
• Understanding IoT applications and architecture
• Applying self-sovereign Identity concepts to IoT
• Governance and economics of a cross-carrier IoT network blockchain-based
• Smart contracts
• Scalability and performance IoT metrics  

...

Relation to Hyperledger 

• Hyperledger Indy, Telcom GIS, Hyperledger BurrowGIS 

Education Level

Master’s or Phd
