The Right to Repair Movement: Insights from Mechanic Riadel Manzano

Mechanics Advocate for Fair Access to Tools, Data, and Training

New York, US, 21st January 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The growing complexity of modern machinery is creating barriers for independent mechanics and consumers alike, fueling the urgent need for right-to-repair policies. Mechanics like Riadel Manzano, with over a decade of experience in maintenance and repair, are calling for fair access to diagnostic tools, repair manuals, and training to keep machines functional, efficient, and cost-effective for everyone.

“Right to repair is about leveling the playing field,” says Manzano. “When manufacturers limit access to essential repair tools or data, they don’t just hurt mechanics—they create unnecessary waste, higher costs, and delays for consumers.”

The issue extends across industries, from automotive to agriculture to consumer electronics. According to a 2021 report by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, 59% of consumers say they’ve been forced to replace a product because repairs were either too expensive or unavailable. Meanwhile, repair restrictions contribute to over 50 million metric tons of electronic waste generated globally each year, according to the United Nations.

Manzano points out that these restrictions also hurt small repair businesses and local economies. “Independent mechanics are vital to communities,” she explains. “But when they’re locked out of repairs because of proprietary tools or software, it becomes harder to compete with large manufacturers.”

The right-to-repair movement is gaining traction across the U.S. and internationally. Seventeen states have introduced legislation aimed at giving mechanics and consumers fair access to repair resources, and the European Union has passed measures requiring manufacturers to make spare parts and repair information available.

“People want the freedom to fix their own things or choose who can repair them,” says Manzano. “It shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg just to replace a small part or troubleshoot an issue.”

In addition to reducing costs, expanding repair rights also has significant environmental benefits. Prolonging the lifespan of products decreases waste and conserves resources used in manufacturing. “Repairing instead of replacing is one of the easiest ways to be sustainable,” Manzano adds.

Manzano believes the solution lies in creating fair policies that ensure mechanics and consumers have access to the tools they need. “Right to repair isn’t just about fixing machines—it’s about empowering people, supporting small businesses, and creating a system that works for everyone,” she says.

For consumers, mechanics, and the environment, the time to act is now. “When we make repair accessible, everyone wins,” Manzano concludes.

DuoKey to Unveil Encrypted Financial Intelligence Use Case at GISEC Global 2025: A Breakthrough in Fraud Detection Powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption and MPC-based KMS

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRECloud security leader DuoKey will unveil its groundbreaking use case for encrypted financial intelligence at GISEC Global in Dubai next week. Designed to address the challenges of fraud detection and regulatory compliance, this approach, which combines Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-based Key Management (KMS), allows financial institutions to analyse encrypted transactions in real time without ever decrypting sensitive data.

In a global financial landscape where illicit transactions exceed $2 trillion annually and compliance fines topped $10.4 billion on a yearly basis according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, DuoKey confidential AI use case for the financial sector demonstrates how financial institutions can securely process high-risk transaction patterns, perform watchlist screening and assess customer risk profile, while preserving end-to-end encryption and maintaining jurisdictional data control.

“Traditional approaches expose data during analysis, creating systemic security gaps,” said Nagib Aouini, CEO of DuoKey. “Our use case shows how FHE and MPC-based KMS together allow financial institutions to detect fraud, meet AML obligations and collaborate securely without any compromise on data confidentiality or sovereignty.”

DuoKey financial intelligence solution enables secure collaboration between banks, regulators, and fintech providers by allowing cross-border investigation and compliance workflows without revealing underlying customer data. This addresses a longstanding roadblock to industry-wide fraud detection while complying with privacy and regulatory standards such as GDPR, FATF, and PCI DSS.

Visitors to GISEC Global will get the opportunity to explore the live use case at the DuoKey booth (D-120, Hall 6) starting on May 6 until May 8. Schedule your personalised demo at GISEC Global to see how DuoKey financial intelligence enhances fraud detection and compliance. Demonstrations include real-time transaction scoring, encrypted rule-based screening and dynamic anti money laundering (AML) analytics all with performance benchmarks that rival traditional unencrypted systems.
