Consortium Meeting Wetter – SUSTAIN 2025

The consortium meeting held from 17 to 18 November 2025 focused on strategic direction and the dissemination of core technological concepts. In parallel with organisational arrangements, hiqs conducted an in-depth re-evaluation of the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and Decentralised Identifier (DID) concepts, which form the basis for decentralised, identity-centric security architectures.

To enhance scientific visibility, it was decided to publish a paper on decentralised authentication and access control in OPC UA. These theoretical discussions were complemented by a presentation by K4 on current advances in the field of network monitoring. The meeting concluded with a structuring discussion on the template for the project-specific action plan, during which the division of content and the allocation of individual consortium contributions for knowledge transfer were clarified.
