As a follow-up to “CRA Standards Unlocked: Navigating smartcards, similar devices & secure element compliance under the Cyber Resilience Act”, we invite you to join an exclusive deep dive into the ongoing development of the European harmonized standard for the application layer of smartcards, secure elements, and related devices.
Led by the project’s rapporteur and featuring expert contributions from members of the Technical Committee, this session will go beyond the high-level overview to explore the details of the current draft standard. Participants will gain:
- First-hand insights into the technical approach guiding the standard’s design
- A clearer understanding of how compliance criteria are being shaped to meet the essential requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (EU 2024/2847)
- The opportunity to learn directly from the experts driving this work and contribute during an interactive session
Speakers: Experts from the CEN TC 224 WG 17, work item #41b CRA standardization request.
