ITU-T SG17 is a study group under the United Nations (UN) responsible for overseeing information security technology standards. The biannual international meetings provide a platform for developing and reviewing international cybersecurity standards.

At this meeting, Professor Lee's team proposed next-generation blockchain security technologies: 'Blockchain-based smart manufacturing security for protecting industrial Internet of Things data' and 'Blockchain-based invoice security for specifications issued through smart contracts.' Both technologies were approved for development.

Professor Lee, who leads the Protocol Engineering Laboratory at Sejong University, had previously received approval for three security standard technologies at past ITU-T SG17 international meetings and is currently developing them. With this recent approval, he has achieved the development of a total of five next-generation security standard technologies simultaneously.

Professor Lee stated, "The Protocol Engineering Laboratory at Sejong University will continue to strive to create technology-centered standards in the cybersecurity field, where global cooperation and standard technology development are highly valued."
