Project description
Where trust is paramount in the ever-expanding digital landscape
In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the security of 6G networks faces unprecedented challenges. Traditional trust models struggle to keep pace with the sophistication of emerging cyber threats, leaving networks vulnerable. As networks expand in complexity, so does the potential for breaches and data compromise, demanding innovative solutions. In this context, the EU-funded iTrust6G project will leverage AI and machine learning algorithms for threat management, asset compliance and transparent security policies. The project aims to enhance trust determination methodologies, streamline security procedures and minimise network resource overhead. With a focus on efficiency and accuracy, the project aims to revolutionise cyber threat intelligence sharing, vulnerability assessments, threat detection and reaction times.
Objective
iTrust6G aims at designing and implementing a network architecture implementing the zero-trust principles to increase the trustworthiness of 6G networks at several levels: AI/ML algorithm exploited for threat handling, asset compliance, explainable security policies and asset observability.
The prioject aims to improve the accuracy and the efficiency of the (i) methodologies used for trust determination (e.g. time to share cyber-threat intelligence, duration of the vulnerability assessment procedure, number of the assurance conformity check), (ii) the performance of the security procedures involved (e.g. number of classes of monitored resources, mean time-to-detection of threat, mean time-to-reaction), and (iii) the induced overhead over network resources exploitation (e.g. performance overhead due to the programmability models).
