OUEDRAOGO Sidi Mohamed Galiam
Currently Director General of Electronic Communications (DGCE) within the Ministry of Development of the Digital Economy and Posts (MDENP) of Burkina Faso, he is also coordinator of the National Telecommunications Backbone Project.
Design engineer in Telecommunications graduated from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Rennes since 2007 and graduated in telecommunications management from the National Institute of Telecommunications (INT) in Paris in 2009 .He has worked on many projects in Europe in particular for the account of operators such as UPC Broadband in Holland, SFR and Bouygues Télécom in France. In 2015, he joined the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts (ARCEP) Burkina. He worked in the department in charge of Spectrum Management of this authority cumulatively with the responsibilities of Head of the “Planning and Coordination” and “Studies and Engineering” Services before joining the MDENP in 2018.
Passionate about Telecommunications, he has been from 2019 to 2022 the advisor representing Burkina Faso on the board of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an institution where he held from 2015 to 2019 the Vice-chairman responsibility of study group 1 which handles matters relating to spectrum management within ITU-R.

Artificial Intelligence in Africa: for which development?
Le résumé :
L’intelligence artificielle se développe en Afrique dans un contexte culturel, économique et social spécifique. Dans cette présentation nous précisons l’impact de ce contexte, analysons les conditions de l’émergence d’une IA Africaine au service de son développement. En articulation avec les initiatives de type institutionnelles, nous proposons une dynamique ascendante de développement associant formation, recherche et innovation pour une intelligence numérique du développement en Afrique : le projet AFRICAIN. Plusieurs exemples de travaux illustrant l’IA au service du développement en Afrique seront rapidement présentés.
Artificial intelligence is developing in Africa in a specific cultural, economic and social context. In this presentation we clarify the impact of this context, analyze the conditions for the emergence of an African AI for its development. In articulation with institutional initiatives, we propose a bottom-up development dynamic combining training, research and innovation for a digital intelligence of development for Africa: the AFRICAIN project. Several examples of work illustrating AI for development in Africa will be presented.

Biography
Après une première carrière d’ingénieur en informatique médicale aux Hospices Civils de Lyon (1974-1983), Alain Mille a développé le département informatique de CPE Lyon (1984-1999). Il soutient une thèse sur la réutilisation des expériences (distribution d’eau) en 1995, passe son HDR en 1998 et est recruté comme professeur à l’Université de Lyon1 en 2000. Il a contribué à la création du laboratoire LIRIS CNRS 5205, a créé le Centre de Ressources Informatiques de Lyon1, et a mis en place la formation initiale en informatique au niveau licence et master dans le domaine de l’IA. Il a été en charge des relations industrielles du LIRIS, et a été responsable de l’école doctorale Informatique et Mathématiques pendant 4 ans. En tant que chercheur en intelligence artificielle, il s’intéresse particulièrement au développement de la théorie de la trace des interactions modélisées. Ce thème de recherche a été appliqué dans de nombreux projets industriels et scientifiques et fait l’objet de contributions logicielles publiques. 28 étudiants ont soutenu leur thèse sous sa direction, il est l’auteur de nombreuses publications (https://cv.hal.science/alain-

Title Building Trust with secure elements and open technologies: crypto device use cases
Abstract
In blockchain digital assets such as NFTs rely on cryptographic keys. The secure storage of these keys and the computing of associated cryptographic procedures in tamper resistant environments are critical issues. Secure elements widely used in bank cards, electronic passports, or SIM cards, provide efficient ways to solve these issues. Nevertheless they are driven from electronics devices connected to networks and interacting with users. Software integrity and hardware authenticity need to be proven. In this talk we present open designs (crypto-terminal, crypto-token) including attestation procedures and dynamic PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) for off-line or on-line solutions (such as internet of secure elements, IoSE). Open hardware such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and Javacards provide efficient tools which could help digital sovereignty.
Biography
Pascal Urien is professor at Télécom Paris. He graduated from Ecole Centrale de Lyon, and holds a PHD in computer science. His research area is computer security, more particularly based on secure elements. Applications target networks, cloud computing infrastructures, mobile applications, internet of things, blockchain systems, edge computing. He wrote more than one hundred scientific articles, and fifteen patents. In 2009 Pascal was one of the winners of the national competition for the creation of innovative technology companies organized by the French Ministry of University, Research and Innovation. He is co-founders of the Ethertrust startup.
