CSIRO Webinar: Advancing Security for 6G Smart Networks and Services

This seminar is part of the 6G Security and Privacy Seminars under the 6G Security Research and Development Program. The Program aims to conduct foundational research into the security requirements of 6G technologies and shape the development of 6G telecommunications standards internationally.

Abstract

6G Smart Networks and Services are poised to shape civilization’s development in 2030, supporting the convergence of digital and physical worlds. The arrival of 6G networks brings unprecedented challenges and opportunities, requiring robust security measures to safeguard against emerging threats. Thus, several complementary issues must be addressed to advance the security of 6G smart networks and services. ROBUST-6G is a European research project which explores a multi-faceted approach to 6G security, addressing key areas of security of 6G smart networks and services such as distributed trusted AI/ML, zero-touch holistic end-to-end (E2E) security, energy efficient security and privacy enablers, real-time resilience for timing-sensitive 6G software technologies and quantum-safe 6G communications. We comprehensively investigate the security and privacy challenges associated with integrating these technologies into 6G networks and their possible direction to mitigate them.
