(ABtC)) - Naoto Kikuchi (Project Professor, Graduate School of Media Design, Keio University) - Yasushi Hirakawa (NS Solutions Corporation (NSSOL)) Establishing trust in data transactions is essential. When exchanging intangible data between different organizations, it is necessary not only to guarantee the authenticity of the transaction counterparties and the data itself, as well as the integrity of the data, but also to ensure that the data complies with the terms of use agreed upon between the provider and the recipient. To build this level of trust, a mechanism is needed that enables comprehensive third-party verification, in addition to individual authentication credentials and signatures. In Japan, research and development has begun on a highly reliable data infrastructure equipped with mechanisms similar to notarial certification. In this session, we will provide an overview of these initiatives.

Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) are no longer confined to the laboratory: federated learning and TEEs are already in production, and data clean rooms are creating value without centralizing data. Against the backdrop of cybersecurity underpinning national, economic, and social security, this session shares where PETs stand today and examines data sovereignty as a precondition for sovereign AI.
15:00-15:50 JST	50	D2-T1-S5 Japan Digital Trust Forum Title: What is needed to make e-Seal standard practice? Moderator: Koichi Shibata (Steering Committee Chair, Japan Digital Trust Forum) Panelists: - Naohiko Sagara (General Manager, Secom Trust Systems CO., LTD.) - Hiroshi Arakawa (President & CEO, ENNA Co., Ltd.) - Kentaro Ito (Senior Consultant, Business Planning Section, GMO GlobalSign K.K.) - Takumi Sato (Product Manager for the iTrust Remote Signature Service and iTrust Electronic Signature Certificates, Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd.) e-Seal serves as a vital mechanism for verifying the issuing organisation of electronic data. In this session, we will reaffirm its value whilst discussing the challenges hindering its widespread adoption and the conditions necessary for it to become firmly established as part of the social infrastructure.
16:00-16:50 JST	50	D2-T1-S6 Digital Policy Forum Japan Title: Examining the Debate on Digital Sovereignty Moderator: Naoto Kikuchi (Digital Policy Forum Japan, Acting Chairman) Panelists: - Yasuhiko Taniwaki (Digital Policy Forum Japan, Chairman) - Mitsuru Ikeda (Chief Director for International Strategy, Strategy and Organization Group, Digital Agency) - Yasushi Matsumoto (Fellow, Japan Network Security Association (JNSA)) As generative AI technologies advance at a remarkable pace, efforts to integrate AI into socioeconomic systems are accelerating by the day. What form should governance take to control generative AI and other AI technologies? Furthermore, how should governance frameworks be designed to enable our country to exercise autonomous control over their digital assets and achieve digital sovereignty? The panelists will discuss these questions from their respective perspectives.
