ENSURE-6G

ENSURE-6G project will develop robust solutions to provide resilient 6G telecommunication infrastructure in the presence of both cyber and physical attacks in 6G networks. The rationale for the ENSURE-6G project is well justified due to the need for advanced and intelligent security and privacy-enhancing mechanisms deployed in practice within current mobile networks and the necessity of novel efficient mechanisms for future networks. ENSURE-6G will have a strong impact on the careers of all participating staff involved. It will equip them with cutting-edge technical and practical knowledge in the security and privacy of 6G technologies. It will create an opportunity to build a strong professional network and bond with industry partners beyond the project’s completion date. The ENSURE-6G will aim to ensure that the EU is at the forefront of security and privacy requirements of 6G networks and that new security measures are designed to mitigate the risks associated with new 6G end user devices and users.

ROBUST-6G

The main ambition of the ROBUST-6G project is to develop a robust security platform for AI-driven autonomous adaptations of 6G, via secure, privacy-preserving, reliable, resilient, accountable, trustworthy, and sustainable capabilities. Zero-touch integrated security management in multi-tenant distributed AI deployments across 6G networks is the intrinsic approach for enabling this ambition in a pragmatic context, as the expected automation at the process level demands automation at the deemed security solutions. Evidently, all the specified features should be researched extensively to forecast their impact on the 6G security landscape and to achieve a holistic autonomous system that can serve the heterogeneity envisaged in 6G within a closed-loop context.

CONFIDENTIAL 6G

Jan 2023 - Dec 2025 CONFIDENTIAL6G emphasizes on privacy preservation and security of sensitive data by focusing on protection of data: • In use. This is an unsolved issue with solutions just emerging with Confidential Computing. • In transit. CONFIDENTIAL6G will enhance communication protection with post-quantum cryptography, blockchain technologies and secure data access control and traceability platforms. • At the Edge. CONFIDENTIAL6G will work on specifying the post-quantum cryptographic approach most appropriate to cater for constrained Edge and IoT devices. Additionally, in order to avoid data movement from the Edge and increase trust and security, Federated AI/ML will be researched.
