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.

Cardano price forecast – price breaks out! Are we near $1.5 soon?

 In our last Cardano price prediction , we wrote that the price could break out soon. The reason for this was a symmetrical triangle. This triangle was performed after the crash, so we expected the price to break down. But now the course has broken out of the triangle in a bullish manner. But how far could the course rise or what is the goal? Today we will explain to you about the Cardano course ! Cardano price broke out of the triangle and was able to rally to the $1.19 resistance. We tested this resistance, and a short time later the price was sold off. The triangle's target was around $1.23, so we now believe the price has completed the target. As a result, we no longer expect a further increase. Instead, the price could now descend and possibly form new lows. If the price breaks the $1.19 resistance, the price could rally to around $1.5. There is the next resistance where the Cardano price could bounce. If Cardano price fails to break the $1.19 resistance, we would expect the p...

Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency

  Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency. Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency. Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second. According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production: "If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other." Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, addin...
