IOTA: Successful completion of the EU project Ensuresec



 The EU project Ensuresec to protect e-commerce systems in the digital single market ended at the beginning of September 2022 and was evaluated by EU experts. The experts of the European Commission came to the conclusion that the project, which ended in June, has achieved all the expected goals. In the final assessment , the work done by the IOTA Foundation and project partners was recognized as groundbreaking for new security solutions to protect against cyber attacks.


Tools for more security in e-commerce

In May 2020, the Ensuresec project was launched as one of the first European Horizon 2020 projects. The IOTA Foundation provided a number of tools to improve transaction security and the security of electronic commerce.


Ensuresec aimed to provide applications whose use should ultimately lead to better protection against cyber attacks. It was also hoped that the project would provide data in order to be able to develop effective mechanisms for restoring IT security after cyber attacks. The tools used collected signals and information from the e-commerce infrastructure. After evaluating the data on AI algorithms and machine learning processes, many insights were gained to make processes more secure and increase IT security in networks.


The project also focused on tools for authentication and authorization in the e-commerce environment. The Communication Monitor, for example, collected anonymous information about all payment activities made on an e-commerce platform. After evaluating the data, it was possible to automatically ward off social engineering attacks such as identity theft.


Project funds and IOTA participation in EU projects

During the development, the IOTA Foundation was able to draw on project funds from the public sector. As part of the project, IOTA Tangle, IOTA Streams and IOTA Identity have proven themselves as tools for other tools to secure e-commerce structures.


With the completion of Ensuresec, IOTA's commitment in this area apparently ends, because follow-up projects are not planned. Other projects with IOTA participation also end without continuation. In the case of Gaia-X, which is supposed to develop visions and solutions for IT mobility solutions of the future, there was speculation at the beginning of the year about funding from the Federal Ministry of Economics. In the meantime , the Block-Builders portal has announced an end to IOTA's involvement in this EU project. IOTA is apparently still involved in the EBSI (European Blockchain Services Infrastructure) and Secant projects.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
