ADEM: An Authentic Digital Emblem
How can we transfer the physical red cross into the digital world?
In times of armed conflict, the emblems of the red cross, red crescent, and red crystal are used to mark physical infrastructure. This enables military units to identify assets as protected under international humanitarian law to avoid attacking them. In 2020, we challenged ourselves with the novel security problem of how to extend such protection to digital, network-connected infrastructure through a digital emblem. In 2021, we finalized a first version proposal for a digital emblem, that we call ADEM: An Authentic Digital Emblem.
