Rapidly developing digital technologies, together with social and business trends, are providing huge opportunities for innovation in product and service markets, and also in government processes. Technology developments drive socioeconomic and behavioural changes and vice versa, and the rate of change in these makes tracking and responding to high-speed developments a significant challenge in public and private sectors alike. Agile governance and policy-making for emerging technologies is likely to become a key theme in strategic thinking for the public and private sectors.Particular trends that are challenging now, and will increasingly challenge society include developments in technologies on the outskirts of the internet. These include Artificial Intelligence, not just in the cloud but in Edge computing, and in Internet of Things devices and networks. Alongside and in conjunction with this ecosystem, is Distributed Ledger Technology. Together this ensemble of technologies will enable innovations that promote productivity, like peer-to-peer dynamic contracts and other decision processes, with or without human sight or intervention. However, the ensemble's autonomy, proliferation and use in critical applications, makes the potential for hacking and similar attacks very significant, with the likelihood of them growing to become an issue of strategic national importance.To address this challenge, and to preserve the immense economic and productivity benefits that will come from the successful deployment and application of digital technologies 'at the edge', a focused initiative is needed. Ideally, this will use the UK's current platform of experience in the safe and secure application of the Internet of Things. The contributors to this platform include PETRAS partners, and several other centres of excellence around the UK.It is therefore proposed to build an inclusive PETRAS 2 Research Centre with national strategic value, on the established and successful platform of the PETRAS Hub. This will inherit its governance and management models, which have demonstrated the ability to coordinate and convene collaboration across 11 universities and 110 industrial and government User Partners, but will importantly step up its mission and inclusivity through open research calls for new and existing academic partners. PETRAS 2 will maintain an agile and shared research agenda that views social and physical science challenges with equal measure, and covers a broad range of Technology Readiness Levels, particularly those close to market. It will operate as a virtual centre, providing a magnet for collaboration for user partners and a single expert voice for government. User partner engagement is likely to be strong following the successes of the current PETRAS programme, which has raised over £1m in cash contributions from partners during 2018.The new PETRAS 2 'Secure Digital Technologies at the Edge' methodology will inherit the best of PETRAS, including open calls to the UK research community and a partnership-building fund that allows a responsive approach to opportunities that emerge from existing and new user and academic partnerships. PETRAS 2 will be driven by sectoral cybersecurity priorities while retaining a discovery research agenda to horizon-scan and develop understanding of new threats and opportunities. The scope of projects and the associated Innovate UK SDTaP demonstrators, spans early to late TRLs and aims to put knowledge into real user partner practice. Furthermore, the development of many early career researchers through PETRAS 2 research activities should lead to a step change in our national capability and capacity to address this highly dynamic area of socio-technical opportunity and risk.

快速发展的数字技术以及社会和商业趋势为产品和服务市场以及政府流程的创新提供了巨大的机会。技术发展推动社会经济和行为变化，反之亦然，这些变化的速度使得跟踪和应对高速发展成为公共和私营部门的重大挑战。新兴技术的敏捷治理和政策制定可能成为公共和私营部门战略思维的一个关键主题。现在具有挑战性的特定趋势，以及将越来越多地挑战社会，包括互联网外围技术的发展。这些包括人工智能，不仅在云中，而且在边缘计算中，以及物联网设备和网络中。除了这个生态系统之外，还有分布式账本技术。这些技术组合在一起，将实现提高生产力的创新，如点对点动态合同和其他决策过程，无论是否有人类的视觉或干预。然而，由于该集群的自主性、扩散性和在关键应用中的使用，黑客攻击和类似攻击的可能性非常大，它们越来越有可能成为具有战略意义的国家问题。为了应对这一挑战，并保持成功部署和应用“边缘”数字技术所带来的巨大经济和生产力效益，需要采取重点突出的举措。理想情况下，这将利用英国目前在物联网安全应用方面的经验平台。该平台的贡献者包括PETRAS合作伙伴和英国其他几个卓越中心。因此，建议在PETRAS中心的既定和成功平台上建立一个具有国家战略价值的包容性PETRAS 2研究中心。这将继承其治理和管理模式，该模式已证明有能力协调和召集11所大学和110个工业和政府用户合作伙伴的合作，但重要的是通过开放研究呼吁新的和现有的学术合作伙伴来加强其使命和包容性。PETRAS 2将保持一个灵活和共享的研究议程，以平等的方式看待社会和物理科学的挑战，并涵盖广泛的技术准备水平，特别是那些接近市场的技术。它将作为一个虚拟中心运作，为用户合作伙伴提供协作的磁石，并为政府提供单一的专家声音。在当前的PETRAS计划取得成功之后，用户合作伙伴的参与度可能会很高，该计划在2018年从合作伙伴那里筹集了超过100万英镑的现金捐款。新的PETRAS 2“边缘安全数字技术”方法将继承PETRAS的最佳方法，包括对英国研究界的公开呼吁和伙伴关系-建立基金，以便对现有的和新的用户和学术伙伴关系中出现的机会采取反应迅速的办法。PETRAS 2将由部门网络安全优先事项驱动，同时保留发现研究议程，以横向扫描和发展对新威胁和机遇的理解。项目的范围和相关的Innovate UK SDTaP演示，涵盖早期到后期的TRL，旨在将知识转化为真实的用户合作伙伴实践。此外，通过PETRAS 2研究活动，许多早期职业研究人员的发展应导致我们的国家能力和能力的一步变化，以应对这一高度动态的社会技术机会和风险领域。
