How Was Huawei Named Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice Eight Times in Three Consecutive Years?

... These efforts are paying off. For example, by the end of 2019, Huawei had obtained more than 8600 patents in the data communication field. At the IETF, Huawei serves in more working group chairs and high-end positions than any other vendor. Huawei has also been actively engaged in developing 60% of the standards for Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) — the next-generation mainstream network protocol — as well as driving its commercial deployments worldwide.

... Il fatto che Huawei abbia preferito il contesto multilaterale dell’ITU non è una sorpresa, anche se la giurisdizione dell’ITU non include l’architettura di internet. Quando si tratta di governance di internet, il PCC e altri regimi autoritari hanno a lungo favorito le istituzioni internazionali multilaterali come l’ITU rispetto alle istituzioni internazionali multistakeholder come l’IETF o l’International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Le istituzioni multistakeholder sono governate da una gamma diversificata di rappresentanti dell’industria, della società civile e del governo; le istituzioni multilaterali danno potere di voto solo ai governi nazionali.

EU Cybersecurity: Commission proposes a Joint Cyber Unit to step up response to large-scale security incidents

The Commission is today laying out a vision to build a new Joint Cyber Unit to tackle the rising number of serious cyber incidents impacting public services, as well as the life of businesses and citizens across the European Union. Advanced and coordinated responses in the field of cybersecurity have become increasingly necessary, as cyberattacks grow in number, scale and consequences, impacting heavily our security. All relevant actors in the EU need to be prepared to respond collectively and exchange relevant information on a ‘need to share', rather than only ‘need to know', basis.

Securing Seabed Cybersecurity, Emphasizing Intelligence Augmentation

Of all the perils he faced during World War II, Winston Churchill said German submarine wolfpacks were his greatest concern, because their attacks on merchant ship convoys threatened to choke Britain's economic lifelines. Today, it seems there is another emerging undersea threat, one that has the potential to disrupt the global economy by severing fiber-optic lines of communication that run along the world's various seabeds.

INTERNET OF THINGS

**********************

A Battery-Free Internet of Things

When NVIDIA purchased mobile-chip designer Arm Holdings from SoftBank last year, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made the bold prediction that in the years ahead, there will be trillions of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Regardless of whether that holds true, it is safe to say the growth of IoT devices is exploding. All those devices will require power sources, and the way Josiah Hester sees it, that's problematic for the environment and society.

How Internet of Things Solutions Can Better the Environment

COVID-19 forced individuals globally to stay inside, which had a significant positive impact on the environment, ranging from improved air quality, cleaner rivers and less noise pollution to undisturbed and calm wildlife (see Coronavirus Lockdown Helped the Environment to Bounce Back). As restrictions continue to ease, there needs to be a focus on environmental awareness as we return to "normal" day-to-day activities. What will happen to our planet when restrictions are no longer in place? Who can play a role in protecting our world?

IoT For Workplace Automation: How Internet Of Things Can Change Offices

Today, every aspect of daily life is affected by technological influences. In terms of the office environment, this is also true. Minor issues at the workplace are sometimes distracting or even annoying. Unsurprisingly, people seek solutions to settle them effectively and create efficient and comfortable conditions.

How Internet of Things Security Is Impacting Retailers

Internet of Things (IoT) security is a growing concern for retailers. “IoT is one of the biggest trends in the market today,” said Itzik Feiglevitch, product manager for Check Point Software Technologies at the RSA Conference in May 2021. Huge numbers of devices are expected to be added in the coming years to company networks.

Nearly all of us drive automatic cars — why do we have a manual Internet of Things?

According to CarMax, 97 percent of American drivers drive automatic cars. That share is less in other parts of the world, but even in the U.K., for example, sales of automatic cars have more than doubled in recent years and now account for the majority of new cars on the road. ... For the sake of better supply chains, truly smart buildings, greater sustainability, and an Internet of Everything rather than the Internet of Expensive Things, a new, autonomous IoT is needed.

HTTP/3 and QUIC: Past, Present, and Future

You may have seen the announcements over the past two weeks — the IETF QUIC RFCs have been published! That leads to a lot of questions, depending on how closely you’ve followed this space. You might be wondering what this means to you, or you might think QUIC has been an established thing for years now. And how does HTTP/3 fit into this? Is HTTP/3 another name for QUIC?

< <https://securityboulevard.com/2021/06/http-3-and-quic-past-present-and-future/> https://securityboulevard.com/2021/06/http-3-and-quic-past-present-and-future/>

 

Apple iCloud+ Private Relay — Explained!

... The connection uses QUIC, which is meant to be like TCP but with lower latency and HTTP/3, and because Apple encrypts the connection, even your ISP can't see where it is on the web you want to go. All they see is the connection to Apple's ingress proxy server. So, Apple knows your IP, but not the website you want to go to because that's encrypted.

Microsoft Outlines Windows Server 2022 Coming Features and Editions

... Server Message Block over QUIC: The Server Message Block (SMB) over QUIC feature wasn't mentioned in Microsoft's March preview announcement of Windows Server 2022. However, it's done now on the server side after being available in Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser, according to Ned Pyle, a Microsoft principal program manager, during the talk.

Allerdings arbeitet Private Relay mit dem seiut iOS 14 unterstütztem QUIC Netzwerkprotokoll sowie HTTP/3 – diese Verbindungen zeichnen sich durch eine verkürzte Paketumlaufzeit aus.
