2. Blockchain for IoT and Enterprise Verticals
Session Outline
Blockchain technology can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) and enterprise verticals to provide secure and decentralized data storage and communication. In IoT, blockchain can be used to create a secure network of connected devices, where each device can securely communicate and interact with other devices without the need for a central authority. This can enable new decentralized applications such as smart cities, supply chain management, and machine-to-machine transactions.
In enterprise verticals, blockchain can be used to create secure and transparent supply chain management systems, as well as secure voting systems and secure data sharing. Additionally, blockchain can be used to create decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) which can enable new forms of decentralized decision-making and governance.
Overall, blockchain can be used to provide secure and decentralized solutions for IoT and enterprise verticals, enabling new use cases and applications.

Dr. Pascal Thubert has been actively involved in research, development and standards efforts on Internet mobility and wireless technologies since joining Cisco in Y2K. He currently works at Cisco’s Chief Technology and Architecture office, where he focuses on products and standards in the general context of IPv6, wireless, and the Internet of Things. He co-chairs 6TiSCH, the IETF Working Group focusing on IPv6 over the 802.15.4 TSCH deterministic MAC, and LPWAN, which applies IPv6 over low power wide area networking technologies. His current interests also include in deterministic networking applied to radio networks (RAW) and an update of IPv6 ND for wireless (WiND, including RFC 8505). Earlier, he specialized in IPv6 as applied to mobility and wireless devices and developed routers and switches microcode in Cisco’s core IPv6 product development group. In parallel with his R&D missions, he has authored multiple IETF RFCs and draft standards dealing with IPv6, mobility and the Internet of Things. In particular, Pascal participated to the ISA100.11a specification as well as the NEMO, 6LoWPAN, RPL and now 6lo and DetNet IETF standards, in an effort to bring together the broad features of the IT/OT convergence for an Industrial Internet.
Dr. LIU currently serves as Industry Development Director in Data Communication Network Area at Huawei Technologies Co.,Ltd. His research interests include Network AI, NFV/SDN, ICN, IPv6 and IoT. He is responsible for industry standard activity in Network AI and IPv6 related area. He has been actively contributing in organizations of standards and technical professional. He served as Co-founder and Technical Manager of ETSI ISG ENI, Vice-Chairman of ETSI ISG IP6, Secretary of IRTF SDNRG, Member of IETF OPS area Directorates, key Proponent of IETF SUPA WG, Author of 9 RFCs, Rapporteur of 1 work item in ETSI; Guest Editors of Special Issue on Intelligent Network Management in IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, NFV Special Issue in IEEE Network Magazine and Architecture For Next Generation Wireless Networks Special Issue in IEEE Communications Magazine, and Referees/TPCs for several conferences and journals in computer networking area. As the Vice-Chairman and previous sectary of ETSI ISG IP6, the core team of IPv6 development and practice, he published one important group report GR IP6 006 Generic migration steps from IPv4 to IPv6, which summarized the migration guidance for IPv6 deployment. He also co-authored one white paper ETSI WP35 IPv6 Best Practices Benefits Transition Challenges and the Way Forward, summarized the IPv6 practice and look the way forward. He made efforts in steering this core group to make it more influence, reviewing the documents, inviting more member to join the group as well as set up webinars to promote the group deliverables.
Ralph has been working with v6 since at least 2004 and his last position at IRS, led the deployment of v6 across the IRS and the rest of the Government. There is a 99% dual-stack deployment, with the upcoming capability to remove IPv4 from the network. He was instrumental in the 2020 v6 only memo as well as a significate part of the 2012 USG adoption of IPv6 plan.
Lawrence Hughes is Senior Software Engineer – Cybersecurity at Abbott and was the co-founder/CEO of Sixscape Communications. Prior to co-founding Sixscape, he was the co-founder and CTO of Cipher Trust in 2000, and the inventor of the technology there that did a USD273 million exit in 2006. He is also the inventor of Identity Registration Protocol (IRP) and SixChat protocol which were submitted to the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) and both awarded TCP port numbers on the Internet. Lawrence is the co-chair of IPv6 Forum Singapore and he is world-class in both cryptographic and IPv6 technologies. Lawrence graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Science (Pure Math) from Florida State University, USA.
Doug Montgomery is the manager of Internet and Scalable Systems Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In that role he provides technical leadership to NIST's research and standardization efforts in Trustworthy Networks, including core Internet infrastructure protection (e.g., Naming, Routing, Email and general Internet Protocol security); next-generation Internet technologies (e.g., IoT, IPv6, SDN / NFV); advanced security architectures and technologies (e.g., zero trust networks, applications of AI to network security and robustness); and measurement, modeling, and analysis of the Internet system. In particular, he leads the USGv6 Program at NIST that provides the technical infrastructure (i.e., standards profiles, product test programs, test and measurement tools, and security guidance) to lead the US Government’s adoption of IPv6 technologies. The USGv6 Program maintains a strong collaboration with the IPv6 Ready Logo Program to ensure that USG and industry lead IPv6 profile and test programs remain aligned to the maximum extent possible.
Rick Kuhn is a computer scientist in the Computer Security Division at NIST, and is an IEEE Fellow. He has authored three books and more than 150 conference or journal publications on information security, empirical studies of software failure, and software assurance. He co-developed the role based access control model (RBAC) used throughout industry and led the effort that established RBAC as an ANSI standard.

My name is Stephan Nilsson, I am the CEO and co-founder of UNISOT https://unisot.com/from-source-to-consumer/, a Norwegian based Web3 Supply Chain Sustainability Platform, enabling all supply chain actors to be more sustainable as well as enabling them to prove it to their customers and consumers. With our 360° Supply Chain Interoperability we enable our users to produce verifiable sustainability reporting as well as verifiable Scope 3 (End-to-End GHG) reporting. We provide solutions to all actors of global supply chains to be more sustainable by being more efficient as well as provide tools that enable them to Prove their Product Quality, Provenance and Sustainability; all functions that are becoming mandatory with the new regulations like EU/FDA Supply Chain Traceability laws, EU Taxonomy for Sustainability and EPA Scope 1,2,3. https://unisot.com/eliability/ The term Supply Chains is very broad, it involves everything, all things are basically created from some kind of raw materials, produced into products, transported, stored, sold, used and recycled. We support the complete life cycle. Our UNISOT SaaS/PaaS platform enables a very fast and cost-effective incremental implementation. A proof-of-concept instance can be set up in a couple of hours, for manual input/output for a first concept validation via our web and mobile apps. Next step is to start integrating IoT/ERP/PLM/IT-System with our Integration Engine and Plugins to automate data interoperability. Subsequently we integrate with more systems and more actors in the whole supply chain. Our solutions are built on unique Scalable, Secure, Stable and Cost/Energy-efficient Public Blockchain technology.
