MOBI is a nonprofit alliance of many of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers, along with many startups, NGOs, transit agencies, insurers, toll road providers, smart city leaders, and technology companies working to accelerate adoption and promote standards in blockchain, distributed ledgers, and related technologies.
The IEEE 2418.1 Standards Working Group provides a common framework for blockchain usage, implementation, and interaction with the Internet of Things (IoT). The framework addresses items such as security and privacy challenges with regards to Blockchain in IoT. Both permissioned IoT blockchain and permissionless IoT blockchain will be included in the framework.
The IEEE P2958 Standards Working Group defines a decentralized identity and access management (IAM) framework for the Internet of Things (IoT) based on the emerging concepts such as decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). The framework addresses the integration of DIDs and VCs into the lifecycle of IoT devices as well as the decentralized IoT security services such as device authentication, data authorization and access control.
The Confidential Computing Consortium (CCC) brings together hardware vendors, cloud providers, and software developers to accelerate the adoption of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technologies and standards.
The Industrial Distributed Ledger Task Group at Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) is responsible for the creation, maintenance and adoption of technical documents addressing industrial distributed ledger technologies.
