- 09.30 – CHALLENGE A: How can we sustainably achieve ultra-high assurance ICT?! Is it feasible to provide ordinary citizens access to affordable and user-friendly complete ICT services with levels of trustworthiness that are meaningfully-abiding to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, as a supplement to their every-day computing devices? If so, how? What standards, standard setting and certifications processes can enable users to reliably assess their actual trustworthiness? What scale of investments are needed? How likely is it that they would sustainably be legally allowed? (Backgrounder on Challenge A)
- Moderators: Jennfier Baker (ArsTechnica)

- 11.25 – CHALLENGE B: How can ultra-high assurance ICT services comply to “constitutional” lawful access requests while meaningfully protecting civil rights? Can providers of ultra-high assurance ICT devise compliance mechanisms to lawful access requests, voluntarily (i.e. in addition to what’s required by selected jurisdictions), without significantly increasing risks for the privacy of users nor for public safety? If so, how? What are the core paradigms of such certification processes? (Backgrounder on Challenge B)

(Backgrounder on Challenge D)
- Moderator: David Meyer (Fortune)
- Panelists: Reinhard Posch, Achim Klabunde, Marit Hansen, Rufo Guerreschi

- 11.45 – PANEL: How can better standards and open target architectures for IT security foster innovation, startups and scaleups in multiple IT sectors in Europe? Startups, scaleups and large companies alike need ways to sustainably differentiate themselves in the market on the basis of the security of their offerings, but they are often unable to prove that to customers in the absence of comprehensive and reliable benchmarks. How can industry, citizen associations and public institutions work together to solve these issues?
- Moderator: David Meyer (Fortune)
- Panelists: Ulrich Seldeslachts, Erik Duyck, Raoul Chiesa, Jovan Golic, Rufo Guerreschi, Artur Pylak (video link)

- 14.00 – Keynote by Romani Stasi: “Challenges and hopes in the medium term for the integrity and confidentiality of e-banking offering”
- 14.15 – PANEL: Opportunities for new ultra-high assurance IT paradigms for the banking sector. What are the opportunities of new ultra-high level of IT standards for the future of banking e-services? Recent breaches have highlighted the challenges of protecting against persistent and pervasive attacks that challenge at root the trust of banks. The confidentiality and integrity of banking e-service seems ultimately constrained by that of terribly vulnerable client-side devices. Cryptocurrencies have raised hopes but also many doubts. What are the opportunities of combining recent advances, like end-2-end encryption and blockchain, with and ultra-high assurance IT endpoint security?
