ITU enables 5G ITU Allocates frequencies for 5G ITU Standardizes network aspect, such as Machine Learning for 5G All Standards are free, available online

ITU Standardizes Video Codecs 2 Primetime Emmy Awards Exception to free standards, since joint work with ISO/IEC Video coding is joint work with ISO-IEC (JTC1) H.264 = MPEG-4 Part 10 H.265 = HEVC = MPEG-H Part 2

95% ITU Standardizes Ultra-high speed BB G.fast DSL International traffic carried over fibre networks built on ITU standards Backbone optical transport 95% of international traffic is transported on fibre, fibre built on ITU standards G.fast DSL 11

Security standards from X.509 to quantum Secure software updates to connected cars Security aspects of distributed ledger technologies Personal data protection Strong authentication for digital financial services Quantum Key Distribution Quantum Random Number Generators Group from quantum alliance initiative Came Incl. smaller companies In sept. approve standards after 1.5 years RFC 5280

Develop: “ITU-T Recommendations” (brand!) ITU standards community Focus Groups Study Groups Open to non-members, Focus Groups define new directions in ITU standardization, flexible structure, design own working methods: blanc check -> except to call output ITU-T Recommendation Develop: “ITU-T Recommendations” (brand!) ~1 approved per day, >4,000 in force

Study Groups overview SG2 - Operational aspects SG3 - Economic and policy issues SG5 - Environment and circular economy SG9 - Broadband cable and TV SG11 - Protocols and test specifications SG12 - Performance, QoS and Qo SG13 - Future networks (& cloud) SG15​ - Transport, access and home SG16 - Multimedia SG17 - Security SG20 - IoT, smart cities &​ communities​ To say: governments, private sector members, academia To say: range from startups and SMEs to AETNA, Symantec is an important contributor

Next meetings: September 2019, March 2020, August 2020 Study Group 17: Security SG17 meets every 6 months: Next meetings: September 2019, March 2020, August 2020 > 150 participants from > 40 countries; Add slide all SGs To say: governments, private sector members, academia To say: range from startups and SMEs to AETNA, Symantec is an important contributor

Artificial Intelligence for Health Machine Learning for 5G Digital Financial Services Data processing and management Blockchain Safe Autonomous Driving 17

Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health 18

Financial Inclusion Global Initiative Following success FG; mobile money works in some countries, not in others, what is the secret sauce that makes mobile money work. ITU brought together telco and banking to figure it out. developed 30 best practices for DFS, led to the FIGI in order to test these BPs in the field Now 3 countries -> to see how BPs work FIGI: by WB, BIS, ITU, B&M Gates 19

Focus Groups design their own working methods do not require ITU membership Outputs branded as e.g. “ITU-T Specification” Common practice: Focus Group output turned into “ITU-T Recommendation” by a Study Group 20

Homomorphic Encryption at ITU Study Group 17: Security (ITU members only) Stand alone Focus Group (open to non-members) Part of an existing Focus Group SG would have to approve adding HE as a work item A stand alone FG would have to be approved by SG17, needs to be carefully prepared Recent example: quantum IT
