The project's key achievements during the first period are listed below:
• elaboration of use-cases and relevant stakeholders,
• definition of a first version of iTrust6G system architecture,
• definition of the main processes and functions to be implemented by each component of the architecture,
• requirements for the trust model definition, intent-based policy format and explainability framework.
• the designing of Federated Machine Learning (ML) techniques for both supervised and unsupervised data,
• researched on 5G/6G networks and AI applications for cybersecurity threat detection, as well as reporting protocols,
• initiated the design of a Risk Assessment Component, including the clarification of its relations with other components,
• proposed the first design of high-volume metric collection agents.
• design and initial development of a framework for supply chain analysis,
• design and initial development of a compliance checker,
• design and development of an attestation framework for both physical hosts and containers,
• development of an authentication and authorization system that leverages the trust score to block/allow the access of a resource.
• design and development of a security programmability model, defining key enablers for dynamic security deployment,
