01 / Independent research & development / Romania

Technology for resilience.

Romanian Cyber Space Initiative (ROCSI) investigates difficult civic, technical, and public-interest problems, then turns what we learn into prototypes, open tools, and working systems. We are open to collaboration with researchers, institutions, technical teams, and organizations interested in applied R&D.

Ways to work with ROCSI

Two practical ways to turn ROCSI expertise into outcomes.

Bring ROCSI a product or systems problem to build, or strengthen practical digital resilience through a live workshop. Both paths start with a concrete need and a clear next step.

01 / Digital products & systems

Build something that solves a real problem.

From websites and web applications to internal systems, automation, integrations and AI-enabled products, ROCSI can take a problem from discovery to a working system.

Explore ROCSI Build

02 / Live practical training

Make safer decisions in everyday digital situations.

Digital Resilience Essentials is a live, scenario-based workshop for people and teams who want practical habits for identity, payments, scams, accounts and online information.

See workshop sessions
02 /Current work

Ideas, put to work.

Active projects turn ROCSI’s broader research questions into systems, experiments, and useful infrastructure. Each one connects several fields rather than living inside a single discipline.

01 / Civic TechnologyActive development

Platforma Civică

Problem
Civic information and participation are fragmented across institutional sites, forms, documents, and processes that can be difficult to discover or interpret.
What ROCSI built
A live civic-tech beta that brings public civic content, submissions, polls, institutional context, and assisted document and official-request tools into one environment.
Evidence / status
Active / betaPublic and authenticated workflows are operational, with Romanian and English interfaces, privacy controls, and explicit boundaries between platform activity and formal institutional delivery.

02 / Open-source integrationActive development

Connector for NMKR

Problem
WordPress sites need a reliable way to import and present remote NMKR project and token data without turning every page view into a live upstream dependency.
What ROCSI built
An open-source WordPress connector that synchronizes Cardano and Solana project and token data through the NMKR API, persists local state, and exposes responsive site components.
Evidence / status
Active / open sourceThe implementation includes run-scoped synchronization, progress and history, operational metrics, stale-run recovery, deduplication, reconciliation, and responsive shortcodes.

03 / Trustworthy InfrastructureResearch & development

Telemetry Attestation Gateway

Problem
A verifier may need evidence about a narrow telemetry property without receiving the complete sensitive telemetry dataset behind that claim.
What ROCSI built
A simulation-first experiment that evaluates selected vehicle and drone telemetry predicates and represents them with narrowly scoped zero-knowledge proofs.
Evidence / status
Experimental / researchProof scope, provenance, freshness, identity, key management, and operational cost remain under evaluation; flight control, command authorization, and autonomous decision execution are explicitly excluded.

03 /Research areas

Different disciplines. Shared questions.

ROCSI works across durable research and development areas that overlap in practice. The relationships matter as much as the individual fields.

04 /Open development

Progress is better when it’s shared.

ROCSI works openly where practical: not as a slogan, but as a way to make questions, experiments, engineering decisions, and release history more inspectable and useful.

A useful trail matters: what was asked, what was tried, what the evidence changed, and what was ultimately built or released.

research → experiment → build → share

  1. 01research

    Start with a question.

    Frame the uncertainty, constraint, or public-interest problem clearly enough to investigate and test.

  2. 02experiment

    Make the experiment tangible.

    Turn assumptions into a prototype, interface, data flow, or other artifact that can produce evidence.

  3. 03build

    Learn from the evidence.

    Inspect failures, constraints, and trade-offs, then carry what survives into deliberate engineering work.

  4. 04share

    Leave a useful trail.

    Share code, notes, decisions, releases, or reproducible evidence where doing so is practical and useful.

Questions before claimsEvidence before polish · useful trails after release
05 /Publishing

From the workbench.

ROCSI publishes the useful residue of the work: research notes, engineering decisions, investigations, observations, releases, and project milestones.

Useful work leaves more than a finished artifact. It leaves context that others can inspect, reuse, challenge, or build on.

notes → decisions → evidence → releases

  1. 01 /Research notes

    Questions worth keeping.

    Working hypotheses, methods, field observations, and what changed as evidence accumulated.

    • questions
    • methods
    • observations
  2. 02 /Engineering log

    Decisions behind the build.

    Implementation choices, constraints, trade-offs, and the reasoning that makes systems maintainable.

    • architecture
    • trade-offs
    • operations
  3. 03 /Investigations

    Follow the evidence.

    Focused inquiries into information integrity, infrastructure behaviour, resilience, and emerging technology.

    • evidence
    • verification
    • constraints
  4. 04 /Releases & milestones

    What changed, and why.

    Project releases, meaningful milestones, experiments that graduated, and lessons carried forward.

06 /Collaboration

Build resilient systems through collaboration.

ROCSI is open to collaboration with contributors, research partners, institutions, technical teams, and supporters who care about useful, inspectable technology.

Resilient systems are rarely built by one discipline or organization. Bring a problem, a deployment context, code, evidence, or practical support.

contribute → partner → support → keep building
