CASTOR 1st Plenary Meeting
We are pleased to announce that K3Y Ltd successfully participated in the 1st Plenary Meeting of the CASTOR project, which took place in the sunny city of Limassol, Cyprus, on 7–8 May 2025.
The meeting marked a significant milestone in our collective efforts to advance secure and trustworthy communications across the compute continuum—an evolving technological landscape where devices, systems, and infrastructures operate across dynamic and often untrusted environments.
As a key technology partner, K3Y Ltd aspires to contribute valuable expertise to the development and implementation of a robust framework for a so-called “Continuum of Trust.” Our efforts focus on enhancing path agility and ensuring the trustworthy provisioning of devices and services across distributed and heterogeneous network environments.
During the first day, partners engaged in a series of productive technical discussions centered around:
- Defining the CASTOR architecture and framework,
- Refining the project’s Optimization Engine, and
- Exploring the Security & Trust Edge Service Extensions, which aim to secure communication across the continuum.
In parallel, the consortium covered critical aspects of project coordination and management, as well as strategies for communication, dissemination, standardization, and exploitation planning to ensure long-term impact.
The second day was dedicated to an in-depth exploration of the project's use case scenarios, which lie at the heart of CASTOR’s vision for continuum-wide security assurance. From securing 5G networks to protecting critical services, the project is aligning cutting-edge technological innovation with real-world needs.
K3Y Ltd was represented by our colleagues Ioannis Boukas and Evangelos Syrmos, who presented how the CASTOR architecture can be leveraged to support next-generation communications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within critical infrastructure environments.
As CASTOR moves forward, we look forward to sharing more updates, insights, and results that will shape the future of trustworthy communication across the compute continuum.
