Janus – Framework para Gestão de Identidades e Acesso Descentralizado em Arquiteturas Zero Trust Network Access para a Internet das Coisas

Grants

With the aim of providing a new approach to identity management, which gives device owners greater control over their assets and strengthens a zero-trust network, Instituto Atlântico proposes Janus, a project that consists of developing a framework that allows issuing and managing Blockchain decentralized identities (DIDs) for devices and users of Internet of Things [IoT] solutions in a universal and interoperable way on Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architectures and easy to integrate with different IoT device management platforms such as AWS IoT Core, IBM Watson IoT, Fiware and others.

Optimización de redes mediante un mejor iBGP

Grants

The project seeks to achieve a systematic approach to internal BGP (iBGP) mesh design within an Autonomous System (AS).

A good design of iBGP in an autonomous system is essential to take optimal advantage of the available paths to the rest of the Internet. This use results for the operators in an optimization of their costs, as well as in an improvement of the quality of service perceived by their users.

Peru IX – Cusco y Chiclayo, descentralizando el Internet de Perú

Grants

The project seeks to decentralize the Internet in Peru, creating Neutral Interconnection Points in the cities of Cusco and Chiclayo, with which local and regional operators will be able to peer directly with each other, and with content providers ( CDNs). The project consists of the development of the local infrastructure in both cities, as well as local personnel who provide support and spread knowledge in the local operators so that they begin to use BGP, obtain their own ASN and IP prefixes in LACNIC.

Low cost mobile broadband access networks for rural environments in farms and villages in the state of Mato Grosso

Grants

The project considers the implementation of a mobile broadband network, with 4G LTE technology using free software, filling the accessibility gap in terms of the cost of accessing the connection. The main participants in this project are ISPs that already have a fiber optic backbone or high-speed radio communication to serve small villages, farms and remote areas with up to 1,000 (one thousand) users.
