Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO015: Secure data sharing protocol for advancing floating wind energy: a cryptographic approach.
Claudia Bartoli Duncan, Reseacher, IMDEA Software Institute
Abstract
Floating wind energy has emerged as a promising frontier in renewable energy, offering vast potential for offshore wind deployment in deeper waters. However, realizing this potential requires addressing critical challenges, foremost among them being the need for data sharing across stakeholders, including industry and academia. Accessible, comprehensive data sets enable informed decision-making across the entire project lifecycle, from site selection and design optimization to operation and maintenance strategies. Moreover, data sharing facilitates knowledge exchange, fosters innovation, and instills investor confidence, thereby attracting capital investments and driving market expansion. However, as reported in Veers et al., 2023, massive data sets aggregation, management, and control access while protecting intellectual property poses a key challenge. The current mode of communication between stakeholders relies heavily on certified data from a Certification Body (CB). This approach may omit specific information necessary for optimal operations, since certified data might lack crucial details, hindering developers from achieving optimal performance of the system. In this work, we introduce a conceptual cryptographic framework for a communication protocol designed to facilitate interactions among diverse stakeholders involved in offshore wind energy development. This framework is centered around a communication protocol which ensures data integrity among parties without divulging additional information. Our proposed framework, or communication protocol, aims to enable secure data exchange, ensuring that only pertinent information is shared while also offering mechanisms for certification to guarantee data integrity. This protocol is based on Zero Knowledge Proofs, a cryptographic tool designed to validate secret data against specific statements while preserving data privacy. The idea is that parties can proof specific data has been certified by the CB without the need of sharing the entire database. Further, upon this protocol we can devise a more intricate system, based on Multiparty Computation, which allows all involved parties to share data confidentially.
