Last April 28th, 2022, we were invited - with four members of our advisory boards of our Trustless Computing Association, and several partners - to attend the Spring Forum 2022 of the Munich Cyber Security Conference (MCSC) to give a slide presentation during the MCSC Roundtable on Day 2 of our Trustless Computing Certification Body and Seevik Net initiatives, in front of representatives from industry, government and military from Germany, and several EU and non-EU member states.
As a sister initiative of the Munich Security Conference, MCSC it is arguably the leading EU high-level transatlantic and trans-European cybersecurity forum. The Chairman of MCSC is the Group CEO of the G+D group, the leading provider of government cybersecurity solutions in Germany, and owner of Secunet.
This edition was the first in-person-only, which follows two years of online-only editions in February 2022 and in April 2021. Aside from most leaders of the German cyber ecosystem, confirmed in-person panelists for this edition from the US include Chris Krebs, former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and John C. Inglis, recently appointed by Biden as the 1st National Cyber Director. and former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency. The President of the BSI is usually present to all editions, to be confirmed for this one.
We explained the distinguished audience how we are building a sort of Crypto AG 2.0. As opposed to the original one, Crypto AG, it will be based on democratic multilateralism, uncompromising transparency - with a procedural front-door instead of technical back-door - available for private citizens, initially via a 2mm-thin standalone device embedded in the back of everyone’s smartphone. Initially for non-classified communications of the most sensitive EU private citizens, journalist, politicians, elected officials - and then later other IT systems, domains, and classified domains.
By taking an approach based on uncompromising technological, procedural and organizational transparency - and open multi-national co-development and testing of the core open-source battle-tested technologies - we enable leading EU and like-minded nations to affirm digital sovereignty concurrently at the national, European, allied and citizen level, as well as establish a digital platform for global dialogue and peace, among and within all nations, at all levels of society. Through its innovative and resilient legitimate lawful access mechanism, it can also be implemented mandatorily inside government to help counter subversive activities by enemies, foreign and domestic, and so therefore authoritarianism.
We’ll be gathering interested EU and like-minded nations and partners to our 9th Edition of our Free and Safe in Cyberspace, currently slated to be held in Rome next September 9-11th (but possibly to be moved to Brussels or Germany).
