Digital Twins and Self-Sovereign Identity: Build the next generation of Simulation with privacy preservation IoTPractitioner.com The IoT Portal Platform

The rise in the use of advanced analytics, machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) today have driven the technology of simulation into the concept of the digital twin. Digital twins are generally defined as a virtual digital model of a physical system that is used to make better decisions about the real world physical system. Digital twins are usually intertwined with sensors and include a two-way interaction between the physical and digital twin. The growth of "smart" IoT devices – devices with an increasing amount of processing or computational capability – results in more use cases where devices perform independent functions or complex system behaviors. These devices must both provide cryptographic trust to participate in network data exchange and be assured they can trust the network and nodes to which they communicate.
