CASTOR consortium partners participated in the 2025 International Conference on Information and Communication Security (ICICS 2025), held in Nanjing, China, where they presented research advancing trust, privacy, and post-quantum security.
Prof. Liqun Chen (University of Surrey) delivered the keynote “Post-Quantum Group-Oriented Anonymous Signatures from Symmetric Primitives,” discussing the evolution of anonymous signature schemes such as Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) to remain secure in the post-quantum era and support scalable, privacy-preserving authentication.
UBITECH also presented the paper “Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Evidence-Based Trust Level Evaluation in Multi-Agent Systems.” The work introduced a methodology for dynamically evaluating trustworthiness in complex digital environments and marked an important step toward CASTOR’s trust-aware network routing approach, where trust becomes a measurable component of traffic engineering.
The participation strengthened CASTOR’s objective of developing secure, resilient, and privacy-aware infrastructures across IoT, edge, and cloud environments.
