Expected Outcomes
✔️ Identification/characterization of the threat landscape applied to the envisioned end-to-end 6G connectivity and service systems and of the technologies and architecture to mitigate them.
✔️ Availability of technologies supporting the necessary levels of trustworthiness, resilience, openness, transparency, and dependability expected under the EU regulations (such as GDPR and Cyber Security Act, including associated provisions including new certification processes etc) across a complete continuum incorporating the human-cyber-physical system including connectivity-service provision.
✔️ Availability of technologies ensuring secure, privacy-preserving, and trustworthy services in the context of a programmable platform accessed by multi-stakeholders and tenants including vertical industries as users.
✔️ Availability of security technologies and processes addressing the challenge of open-source solutions developed in the context of multi-vendor interoperability.
✔️ Secure host-neutral infrastructure where multiple infrastructure providers are involved in the deployment, hosting and orchestration of the network service.
✔️ Identification of the life cycle of smart services security and trust requirements including development, provision, operation, maintenance and of their business impact on the stakeholders’ ecosystem.
✔️ AI technology applied to security in two ways: i) correct application of AI to enhance security in 6G; ii) consideration of potential security threats using AI.
