XTRUST-6G Extended zero-trust and intelligent security for resilient and quantum-safe 6G networks and services
Coordinator: ETHNIKO KENTRO EREVNAS KAI TECHNOLOGIKIS ANAPTYXIS (EL)
The project aims to establish a robust security framework for 6G ecosystems, underpinned by the zero-trust principle and emphasizing core tenets like resilience, privacy, and dependability. Dynamic access control via a context-aware risk-based policy engine, leveraging rich cyber-threat intelligence and behavioral insights gathered from the 6G infrastructure, is at the core of the proposed approach. Micro-segmentation of vulnerable virtualized functions from critical O-RAN assets is a primary goal to prevent attackers’ lateral movement capabilities and minimize damage. Proactive security meas…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €8.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2025-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
