Lingnan supports Digital Transformation in promoting Smart City
and Smart Governance
Prof Joshua Ka Ho MOK, Vice-President and Dean of School of Graduate Studies, was invited to give a talk at the Hong Kong Public Key Infrastructure Forum Conference in January 2021. The topic of the conference, which was organised by the Hong Kong Public Key Infrastructure Forum Limited (HKPKIF), was "Evolution and Localization of Public Key Infrastructure and Digital Identity - Digital Trust Ecosystem". Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) members from Hong Kong, and experts from the US, shared and promoted the concepts of secured digital PKI infrastructure and the relevance of Decentralized- ID (DID) technology for the implementation of digital identity so as to help reopen businesses, speed up public services, streamline KYC and financial transactions, and connect students with employers.
The conference was supported by the HKSAR Government and major representatives of industry and commerce, along with Lingnan University. Mr Alfred Sit, JP, Secretary for Innovation and Technology, and Dr Bernard Chan, JP, Under Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development also gave speeches at the event.
