Consortium launches cross-regional pilot on post-quantum security with participation from banks and regulatory stakeholders
The Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI) and Safeheron have launched a pilot initiative to evaluate post-quantum cryptography for digital asset transactions, with participation from selected financial institutions and regulatory stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions. The initiative is designed to move quantum-safe financial infrastructure from concept into practical testing with participating institutions. Convened by the Responsible Fintech Institute with Safeheron as technology partner, to evaluate and eventually open-source quantum-resilient infrastructure for wallet generation and digital asset transfers in a regulated, cross-jurisdiction setting. The pilot will focus on a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) research program built around a multi-party computation (MPC) protocol that supports ML-DSA-65, the NIST FIPS 204 digital signature standard, with participant testing covering wallet generation and on-chain transfer activity on the quantum-resistant NEAR testnet. The initiative brings together banks and regulators from multiple jurisdictions to examine cross-border interoperability, operational resilience and governance considerations in parallel with technical evaluation. “No single bank, vendor, or regulator solves this alone,” said Chia Hock Lai, Chairman of the Responsible Fintech Institute. “By bringing policymakers and financial institutions across jurisdictions together to test the same post-quantum architecture, and transparently sharing that research with every participant, we are building a compliance and security reference the whole industry can stand on — and a standard we all helped write.” “AI is accelerating the pace of change and likely bringing the quantum threat closer to reality — quantum-ready infrastructure has never been more critical, and the time to act is now,” said Jag Foo, Chief Security & Policy Officer at Safeheron. “By integrating NIST’s post-quantum signature standard with advanced MPC technology, we are building the architecture required to secure the next generation of financial networks. Safeheron has long advocated for open-source cryptography, because accountability and good governance demand it. We intend to open-source our PQC code. Cryptography securing institutional assets should stand up to independent scrutiny, not ask for trust.” “As the financial sector prepares for future cybersecurity challenges, initiatives that encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing among industry participants are increasingly important,” said Antonio Henriques, CEO of Bison Bank. “We are pleased to support discussions around post-quantum security and to contribute to broader industry understanding of how financial institutions can prepare for the evolving risk landscape.” “We welcome the industry’s initiative to identify a reliable protocol that safeguards digital asset transactions,” said David Peters, Managing Director of the Gelephu Financial Services Office. “Ensuring the continuing integrity of these transactions and protecting client funds is critical to the smooth functioning of the investment market.” “Preparing for the potential impact of quantum computing on the financial system requires early engagement, collaboration and a better understanding of how post-quantum technologies can operate in practice,” said Alan Decelis, Head of Supervisory ICT Risk and Cybersecurity at the Malta Financial Services Authority. “The MFSA welcomes initiatives that bring together regulators, financial institutions and technology experts to explore these challenges in a controlled environment. Participating in this initiative provides a valuable opportunity to contribute a supervisory perspective while developing our understanding of the operational, governance and resilience considerations associated with the transition towards quantum-safe financial services.” Why quantum-safe infrastructure matters Quantum computing is widely expected to create long-term risks for the public-key cryptography that underpins large parts of today’s financial system, and financial-sector transition planning has become increasingly important. As noted in a 2025 paper on quantum-readiness for the financial system published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the transition requires coordinated planning, cryptographic agility and phased migration, rather than a simple algorithm swap. At the same time, regulators are sharpening their focus on AI- and quantum-driven cyber risks. In July 2026, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) announced the AI-Driven Cyber and Technology Risk Taskforce (ACT), an industry-wide initiative to strengthen collective cyber and technology resilience against emerging threats from frontier AI models. Regionally, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has embedded quantum readiness into its Fintech 2030 strategy, launching a Quantum Preparedness Index and whitepaper to benchmark banks’ transition to post-quantum cryptography and signalling an ambition to achieve full sectoral quantum-ready status by 2030. Within this pilot, participating institutions will test a shared application environment that enables quantum-resistant MPC signing under consistent conditions, while regulators take part in an observer role during the first phase and contribute to a governance workstream in the next stage. The proof of concept also envisages publication of a whitepaper covering the research, protocol design and testing findings so that the wider market can assess and build on the results, reinforcing the sector’s collective learning and preparedness. Furthermore, the underlying protocol technology will eventually be open-sourced to maximize transparency, encourage independent security auditing, and promote accountable, industry-wide standards. About the pilot The proof of concept is positioned as a collaborative effort for regulated financial institutions, with Safeheron leading protocol and engineering work and the Responsible Fintech Institute leading governance, convening and cross-jurisdiction stakeholder coordination. Current participants include regulators such as Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Gelephu Financial Services Office (GFSO) and Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) alongside participating banks including Bison Bank and DK Bank, with additional institutions in discussion to join. Participating financial institutions will contribute to the evaluation of operational, governance and interoperability considerations associated with post-quantum cryptographic approaches. Levels of participation may vary depending on the role and scope agreed by each institution. The pilot has been structured to stay close to real institutional operating models, including a tentative non-custodial 2-of-2 MPC participation design intended to minimize operational burden while preserving institutional control over key ownership. Its broader objective is to help the market better understand how secure digital asset transaction flows could evolve across regions as financial institutions prepare for a quantum-safe future, in alignment with evolving supervisory expectations on cyber resilience and quantum readiness. About the Responsible Fintech Institute The Responsible Fintech Institute is an independent nonprofit organization focused on bridging traditional and decentralized finance through standards, governance and responsible adoption. In this pilot, it convenes regulators, banks and market infrastructure stakeholders across jurisdictions and supports governance and publication of the initiative’s research findings. About Safeheron Safeheron is a digital asset custody and operating system infrastructure provider focused on advanced cryptographic infrastructure, including multi-party computation and trusted execution environment capabilities. In this pilot, it is responsible for the PQC-enabled MPC protocol, ML-DSA-65 signing implementation and testing application used by approved participants. (ADVERTORIAL DISCLAIMER

We tested SLAMLab, our in-house SLAM solution at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, with Ouster's new Revision 8. Every lidar point now has a real color, straight from the sensor.No more transferring color from separate cameras, which meant calibration and mismatched viewpoints. Now color and geometry come from the sensor together: every point colored, perfectly aligned.The same data also comes as an RGB image (256×2048 at 10 Hz rotation, or 256×4096 at 5 Hz), so vision AI models can run directly on it to interpret the scene.Essentially a multi-sensor system in a single device: lidar + camera + IMU (640 Hz!)This is a public Yosemite dataset from Ouster's sample library, processed with SLAMLab. It fuses lidar with the built-in IMU to create the map in real time – a fully colored 3D point cloud.Videos of both datasets we processed:- Yosemite: – Chinatown: Sample data: More about Revision 8: #SLAM #LiDAR #Robotics #MobileMapping #PointCloud #SLAMLab #AIT #Ouster

Distance-Aware DBSCAN–STM Pipeline with Centralized Point Augmentation for LiDAR-Based Pedestrian Candidate Generation
This paper presents a non-learning-based, seed-dependent, semi-automatic pedestrian candidate generation pipeline for LiDAR point clouds. The proposed method is designed to support 3D annotation workflows by reducing irrelevant candidate clusters while improving the reliability of pedestrian candidate selection under distance-dependent point sparsity. The pipeline integrates distance-aware DBSCAN clustering, Single Template Matching (STM), and Centralized Point Augmentation (CPA). First, LiDAR points within the camera field of view are preprocessed, and pedestrian candidate clusters are generated using DBSCAN parameters configured according to distance intervals. Ground-snapping-based bounding-box refinement and height-based filtering are then applied to improve geometric consistency and reduce non-pedestrian candidates. In the second stage, STM compares PCA-aligned projected silhouettes of candidate clusters with a seed pedestrian template to suppress false positives. To address silhouette instability caused by sparse mid-range pedestrian points, CPA adds centroid-contracted points in the projection-relevant plane before template matching. Experiments on pedestrian-containing frames from the KITTI dataset show that STM improves precision from 27.6% to 60.5% and increases the F1-score from 36.8% to 51.4% compared with the initial DBSCAN-based candidate generation stage. The final CPA configuration improves recall from 44.7% to 46.7% and the overall F1-score from 51.4% to 52.1%, while revealing a precision–recall trade-off. Supplementary IoU analysis shows that the final DBSCAN–STM–CPA configuration maintains meaningful spatial overlap with pedestrian ground-truth boxes, achieving 88.9% at 3D IoU ≥ 0.10 and 81.6% at BEV IoU ≥ 0.25. Runtime analysis further shows that height-based filtering reduces the average per-frame processing time from 151.5 ms to 125.1 ms, while the final CPA configuration introduces only a small overhead, resulting in 126.2 ms per frame. These results demonstrate that the proposed DBSCAN–STM–CPA pipeline can provide reliable pedestrian candidates for semi-automatic 3D labeling without requiring class-specific detector training.

AI assisted IOT framework for real-time detection and selective tripping to prevent unauthorized electric fence tapping
In rural and agricultural communities, the impacts of electric fence tapping and power theft is a serious issue affecting public safety, energy loss, and grid reliability. Farmers and landowners frequently tap fences directly into live distribution lines for the purpose of keeping animals out, often without awareness of the high-voltage risk these practices pose not only to themselves, animals, and wildlife, but also the electrical equipment itself. These practices not only jeopardize the safety of the electrical equipment but can also result in significant financial loss as well, with estimations throughout some areas serviced by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEBL) ranging from 8 to 9 percent of power loss annually due to widespread nature of these activities. Current methods, such as manual patrolling of distribution networks, feeder load comparison, Voltage/ Current/ watt hours audits, are not effective. To overcome these challenges, we proposed a real-time detection, selective tripping, and AI-assisted IoT framework to prevent unauthorized access of electric fencing. This framework consists of a Residual Current Monitoring (RCM) system to continually detect leakage, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) analysis to validate anomalies, Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) for real-time fault location, and a Smart Relay Control Unit to provide selective tripping to isolate damaged line segments. Our predictive AI model, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), continues to analyze historical and current patterns to distinguish genuine faults from transient disturbances and locate locations at risk. Events detected are provided through a Live Network Intelligence Dashboard providing real-time diagnostic information including grid health, fault location, and automated service alerts. The framework provides uninterrupted service to authorized users and enables a scalable and sustainable proposition of supply and demand for the future smart power distribution network.
A Multi-Protocol, Explainable AI-Based Framework for Real-Time IoT Forensics
The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments in smart homes, healthcare, and industrial environments has introduced significant challenges for cybercrime investigation and digital forensics. IoT networks generate large volumes of heterogeneous and often encrypted traffic over multiple communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi and Zigbee, limiting the effectiveness of traditional post-incident forensic techniques. Due to constrained device storage, a lack of centralized logging, and short-lived network interactions, critical forensic evidence may be lost before it can be preserved. This paper proposes a real-time, AI-enhanced IoT forensic framework designed to improve forensic readiness through continuous edge-based traffic analysis. The proposed framework integrates multi-protocol packet capture, machine learning-based anomaly detection, and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) to enable transparent and interpretable forensic decision-making. The system is evaluated using multiple benchmark datasets, including CIC IoT-IDAD 2024, Edge-IIoTset, N-BaIoT, UNSW HomeNet, and ZigBee traffic traces. Several machine learning and deep learning models, such as XGBoost, LightGBM, LSTM, and GRU, are trained and compared using standard evaluation metrics. Experimental results indicate that tree-based models achieve high detection accuracy with low inference latency, making them suitable for real-time deployment on lightweight edge devices. The integration of SHAP and LIME provides feature-level explanations for detection outcomes, enhancing the reliability and interpretability of AI-based forensic evidence.

A Five-Stage Hybrid Cognitive Defense Engine for Ultra-Lightweight Botnet Detection in Resource-Limited IoT Networks
Internet-of-Things (IoT) exposure to cyberattacks mediated by botnets has grown considerably, for which detection methods that are both computationally lightweight and highly accurate are needed. The paper introduces IoT BotSentinel, a highly efficient AI-based system, which utilizes a five-stage hybrid detection algorithm, which is tailored to resource-heavy IoT system restrictive conditions. The algorithm has used: (1) multi resolution packet fingerprints, (2) entropy based anomaly profiling, (3) temporal sequence embedding using compact recurrent filters, (4) attention based feature fusion, and (5) adaptive sparse inference to provide mitigation to threat in real time. Lasting partitionable layers, dynamic quantization, and hierarchical pruning lessen the computation expense without damage to predictive fidelity. IoT BotSentinel shows high precision of 99.7 and strong zero-day generalization as evaluated on multi-source datasets on botnets, such as Mirai and new command-and-control variants. The suggested framework presents a scalable, high-integrity and practical defensive mechanism that can be deployed across heterogeneous IoT networks and which has low latency and memory footprint.

Monitoring mithilfe innovativer Sensorsysteme
Monitoring von Naturgefahren und Bewegungsanalysen im Sport mithilfe innovativer Sensorsysteme: Forscher*innen am Lehrstuhl für Automation und Messtechnik an der Montanuniversität Leoben arbeiten an verteilten und vernetzten Sensorsystemen: Mit dieser Technologie können beispielsweise erste Anzeichen für Rutschungen und Murenabgängen in erosionsgefährdeten, meist ländlichen Bereichen überwacht werden. Durch die Integration von Sensoreinheiten in Schutzbauten wie Steinschlagnetzen lässt sich deren Zustand kontinuierlich überwachen, wodurch frühzeitig vor vermehrten Steinschlagereignissen und Murenabgängen gewarnt werden kann. Die neuartigen Sensor-Systeme können im Sinne des Gefahrenschutzes aber auch in Staumauern, an Brücken oder Gebäuden zur Anwendung kommen. Eine andere Anwendung der entwickelten Technologie ist der Sport: Bewegungssensoren können hier Performance-Daten von Sportlern etwa während des Schwimmens aufzeichnen, analysieren und auswerten.
