 ISO/IEC TS 27568 — Security and privacy of digital twins [PROPOSAL]

Abstract

[TBA]

[Source: none yet]

Introduction

 Digital twins are essentially analogues, realistic models of real-world situations used for various purposes.
 

Scope of the standard

 The standard will address the security and privacy implications of digital twins, supporting other digital twinning standards as the field develops at pace.
 

Content of the standard

[TBA]
 

Status

 Currently at Preliminary Work Item stage.

 Publication of a Technical Specification is planned for 2028.
 

Personal comments

 This is a forward-thinking innovative proposal in support of a rapidly-developing field. Better to be thinking and working on security and privacy from the outset than to complain about the issues once it is already stabilised or mature.

Hmmm, I’m idly pondering the value of non-identical digital twins (digital siblings, fraternal twins, triplets, quads ...) based less tightly on reality, allowing us to explore various aspects (such as novel security and privacy arrangements) even more actively than with true twins. As those links to reality become ever more tenuous, their creative value increases but so do the associated concerns: a classic risk-reward tradeoff.
