  • Link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73295912880?pwd=tqUouAERaEIjbaEiOHpAsCReYqHETb.1 (the link is active only during the meeting)
  • Fee:free of charge for participants
  • Name and surname of the moderator: Kruno Milicevic
  • Short description of the discussion topic: The talk explores the possible role of blockchain and encryption in the digital transformation of metrology. It highlights how blockchain technology can enhance calibration traceability, distributed measurements, and public-key infrastructure by ensuring data integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation. The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) is discussed in more detail, demonstrating how decentralized ledgers can support metrology through verifiable credentials and decentralized identifiers (DIDs). The use of homomorphic encryption for secure data analysis and privacy preservation is also emphasized through metrology-relevant use cases like Interlaboratory Comparisons and Proficiency Testing. These technologies collectively promise to revolutionize metrological practices by improving accuracy, security, and efficiency, paving the way for a more reliable and interconnected metrology landscape.
  • Briefly about the moderator: Kruno Miličević was born in Lampertheim, Germany, in 1980. He received his PhD degree in electrical engineering in 2008. He is the co-founder and CEO of the company Random Red Ltd. (randomred.eu). He is also appointed as a full professor with tenure at FERIT Osijek. His competences cover the fields of metrology, measurement uncertainty, and digital transformation of metrology, including possible application of blockchain technology, encryption and decentralized architectures.
