In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), people (of all ages, physical capabilities and educational backgrounds) and their smart objects often need to authenticate, i.e prove their relationships, identities and privileges. The current technologies and processes to authenticate are complex, bringing burden to people who want to build a trusted chain with their smart objects in order to interact with the IoT ecosystems and use digital services holistically. The authentication process has to be simple, secure and privacy-friendly for people and their smart objects to prove their identity, relationship and privileges.

  • 500 000 EUR for the 2nd runner-up

The winning solutions will be innovative methods that will enable everyone and their smart objects to seamlessly authenticate themselves across a wide range of applications and devices in IoT and cloud ecosystems. The solutions should be easy to use, reliable, robust against cyber-attacks, privacy-friendly, compatible with widely used technologies and affordable.
