Algorithms, software and hardware systems must be designed having
security, privacy, data protection, fault tolerance and accountability[1]
in mind from their design phase in a measurable manner, taking into
account future-proof, advanced cryptographic means. Relevant challenges
include: (a) to develop mechanisms that measure the performance of ICT
systems with regards to cybersecurity and privacy and (b) to enhance
control and trust of the consumer of digital products and services with
innovative tools aiming to ensure the accountability of the security and
privacy levels in the algorithms, in the software, and ultimately in
the ICT systems, products and services across the supply chain.
