Blockchain is being presented as “THE” disruptive technology for the coming years. I have shared few of my findings as I looked to explore what the hype was all about.
Open Protocols (on blockchain) are a new class of scalable constructs that offer an open alternative to the traditional Valley startup centered paradigm. These fully open source protocols typically have flexible development structure, scale globally, and are community funded and governed.
In the next decade or so, we may witness waves of disruption and migration from the classic Internet model — proprietary IP, ads / freemium, user data lock in — to the new open protocol model, spanning across many industries, starting with finance, sharing economy, marketplaces, and IoT."
This talk will explore the advantages and limitations of Open Protocols, launch strategies, as well as nuanced legal aspects.
IMF PAPER: REGULATION SHOULD PRESERVE BENEFITS OF DIGITAL CURRENCYSteven Rhyner
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released a staff paper that examines the risks and use cases of virtual currencies such as bitcoin, recommending a balanced regulatory framework that will not stifle innovation.
The blockchain will enable to build the Internet of Value(Internet2). Anyone can share atoms and experiences as they share bits or informations in the current Internet.
With the blockchain, the Sharing Economy will be more booming.

HOW CRYPTO-TOKENS QUALIFY UNDER SWISS LAW: A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK
Blockchain technology has become a reality as part of the digitalisationof the economy. Every day, there is proof of disruptive transformations of long-standing mechanisms into new ecosystems on the blockchain. While existing market participants are in many cases overwhelmed by the new normal, the new players operate with the greatest creativity and efficiency.
There are no limits to the new ecosystems. The blockchainoffers countless possibilities of disintermediation, of participating in and transferring assets, of recordkeeping and of creating e-commerce beyond the boundaries of national currencies. And we are only at the beginning of this transformation.
Tokens created on the blockchaincan be used to represent a wide variety of instruments and processes. For example, a new means of payment can be created or indirect rights to shares, loans or access rights can be digitised. The legal qualification of the tokens is a major challenge due to the aforementioned diversity.
The important (and not so new) principle for finding your way around in this new digital environment is: “first analyse the context, then undertake the legal classification under the rules of the existing laws.” The hybrid nature of many tokens will defy the clear categories within which the law is typically structured and any attempt to commence by looking at traditional legal instruments and impose them on the tokens of the new ecosystems will therefore fail. Instead each token has to be taken apart and its components must be qualified individually.
In order to bring the tokens of the new ecosystems closer to the public, FRORIEP's Disruptive Technologies Practice Group has developed a Token Framework. In doing so, a distinction is made between cryptocurrencies, tokens giving title to monetary claims and tokens for other purposes. Tokens giving title to monetary claims are further categorisedas being either debt, equity or participation rights tokens. These subcategories stem from the financial treatment of the obligations on the balance sheet or (in the case of participation rights tokens) on the profit & loss statement of the issuer.
The following diagrams show the possible functions of tokens on the blockchainand the FRORIEP Token Framework.
According to BitPay’s annual report, business-to-business payments have made up over 10% of all transactions the firm has processed over the past 12 months.
Blockchain technology first emerged on the global stage around 10 years ago as a way to offer an alternative to the traditional banking apparatus. In the 10 years that blockchain technology has evolved constantly, it has also had a profound impact on almost all spheres of human activity.
Blockchain has the ability to transform the way banks perform execution as it is an open-source and trusted platform providing data in real-time. It not only help banks in reducing the cost of processing payments but also aids in generating new revenue streams with the ability to transmit data securely.

Internet Intermediaries - Does one definition fit all ?Cedric Manara
The expression 'internet intermediary' is broadly used to describe operators offering various services on the Internet. However, these services can differ considerably and depending on the specific service offered, the operator may be more or less actively involved in treating data. During this WIPO conference, I was invited to describe some of the existing forms of internet intermediaries, to what extent they actively or passively handle data and how this potentially impacts on trademark rights.

How digital identities will help realise the true potential of DeFiOliviaJune1
For all the advantages that DeFi provides to fill the void left by conventional banking, it also poses considerable risks.
First, there's the threat of regulation. Legislators will eventually join the party. Unregulated industries with millions of dollars in daily transactions are ripe for fraud. High-profile cases with nameless founders don't imply effective self-regulation.

Restrictions on Internet Commerce - Trade Rules and their LimitsSimon Lacey
This is a presentation I gave at Georgetown University Law Center in May 2012. It discusses restrictions on the internet and how they constrain the commercial activities of some very big companies worldwide. It then discusses international trade rules and how these may be used to challenge the abuse of such restrictions now and/or constrain the impact of such restrictions in the future.

Dirigeants : comment gerer sa reputation en ligne ?Cedric Manara
"Your brand is not what you say it is, it is what Google says it is". Fait en 2009 à propos des marques, ce constat est aussi valable pour les dirigeants ! Chasseurs de têtes, partenaires commerciaux, collaborateurs actuels ou futurs… se font une idée de la réputation d’un manager au travers des outils de recherche et des réseaux sociaux.
Comment Facebook, YouTube ou Twitter transforment-ils la perception que l’on a d’un chef d’entreprise… ou d’un candidat à ce poste ? Comment se forme l’identité numérique d’un dirigeant en fonction de ce qu’il publie, ou de ce que l’on écrit sur lui ? La réputation numérique d’un manager peut-elle rejaillir sur l’entreprise qu’il représente ? Jusqu’à quel point doit-il se soucier de son image en ligne et de quels outils dispose-t-il pour agir ou réagir ?

Les enjeux de la e-reputation pour les enseignants-chercheursCedric Manara
L'enseignant-chercheur est une personnalité publique : il est connu de ses étudiants, de ses pairs, du grand public... Ses activités suscitent la critique, classiquement dans les revues spécialisées, plus récemment sur les réseaux sociaux. On assiste à la création de groupes Facebook d'élèves se moquant d'un prof, les conférences font l'objet de tweets désapprobateurs, des blogs négatifs concurrencent les plaquettes de ses formations, etc. En d'autres termes, la critique a quitté l'espace universitaire (revues et campus) pour se développer, sous des formes plus ou moins sournoises, sur internet, notamment les réseaux sociaux. Quels sont les effets de ce glissement progressif ? Y a-t-il des risques pour les enseignants-chercheurs ? Certains sont-ils plus exposés que d'autres ? Faut-il investir ces nouveaux espaces électroniques et, si oui, comment ?

Conférence donnée dans le cadre du parrainage de la promotion sortante du Magistère Droit des TIC de Poitiers (16 novembre 2012).
Revisiter l'histoire du droit de l'internet sous cet angle particulier montre à quel point la régulation des contenus "adultes" a un effet miroir sur la régulation de l'internet tout entier.
Le droit des noms de domaine est une préfiguration du droit de l'internet en son entier : ils sont à la croisée de la propriété intellectuelle, des contrats internationaux et du commerce électronique. Ils sont des outils techniques régis par des règles de source privée. Les intermédiaires jouent un rôle crucial, et se pose la question de leur responsabilité. Ils sont des points d'accès à des sites associatifs ou commerciaux, publibs ou privés, des moyens de communication (e-mail) et des objets techniques. Le cadre juridique des noms de domaine est un creuset de celui de l'internet.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
