Our group, GiCP, participates in the QCDI project financed through NextGenerationEU funds within the Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia within the program Misiones Ciencia e Innovación of the CDTI (Center for Technological and Industrial Development), under the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.
QCDI will research the Cyber-Secure Quantum Resistant Digital Twins. With the goal of producing a proof of concept fit for industrial environments. Expecting companies to be able to apply this project results to their daily work pipelines in simulation, predictive maintenance, performance improvements, equipment life-time estimation…while working in a secure, robust and visually interactive environment.
Contributions:
Standardization and dissemination activities associated with QCDI
In parallel with the project’s technical and research activities, GICP has actively participated in standardization groups associated with Digital Twin, Digital Identity, and Blockchain technologies. Part of this work is reflected in the INATBA Horizon conferences in which GICP participated in May 2024, as well as in a seminar on the transition to a post-quantum scenario in the context of INATBA’s Digital Blockchain Week in 2024
In order to stimulate debate on the cryptographic challenges associated with the use of blockchain technology, one of the milestones involved in the development of QCDI, GICP organized a workshop on cryptographic tools for blockchain (CTB) at one of the world’s most important cryptography conferences, Eurocrypt co-organized this workshop in 2025 and will do so again in 2026.
This project will be carried out through the following consortium of companies: Bosch, Repsol, Barna Steel, Enzyme and Multiverse. Where our group provides support to Enzyme through the development of their assigned work packages. This project has a start date of November 2022, and an end date of June 2025. With a total budget of 5,935,374.00 euros.
