- [Objectives](https://xtrust-6g.eu/objectives/): XTRUST-6G Objectives The XTRUST-6G project aims to deliver next-generation cybersecurity tools and services for 6G communications, founded on zero-trust (ZT) security principles. The project’s key objectives, their means of achievement, expected outcomes, and key performance indicators (KPIs) are outlined below. Objective 1 Develop an advanced zero-trust security architecture to enhance resilience and mitigate cyber threats A holistic ZT framework will be designed based on the "never trust, always verify" principle, ensuring resilience, privacy, and dependability across all physical and virtual assets in the 6G ecosystem. The ZT access control mechanism will dynamically adjust access rights using context-aware, risk-based policies informed […]

- [Demonstrations](https://xtrust-6g.eu/demonstrations/): Demonstration & Validation The XTRUST-6G project will validate its advanced security solutions through five large-scale pilots, each designed to integrate physical infrastructures and simulation environments (digital twins) to assess resilience against sophisticated cyber threats. These pilots will showcase the key tools and solutions developed for securing the next generation of 6G networks. Each pilot addresses specific challenges in different areas of the 6G ecosystem, demonstrating the project’s potential to provide effective and scalable security measures. Pilot 1: 6G-enabled EV Charging Infrastructure Resilience It deploys 5G/6G solutions to facilitate high-speed data exchange, real-time communication, and robust cybersecurity within the EV charging […]
- [Stakeholders](https://xtrust-6g.eu/stakeholders/): Stakeholders The XTRUST-6G project is designed with a broad spectrum of stakeholders in mind, with the goal of disseminating and exploiting the project’s results to impact a variety of sectors. The target audience includes mobile network operators, ICT industry professionals, researchers, and open-source communities, each of whom will benefit from the project’s outputs in unique and valuable ways. Below is an overview of how each group stands to gain from the project: Mobile Network Operators and Private Network Owners Interest in XTRUST-6G: Mobile network operators (MNOs) and private network owners are key players in offering connectivity services. XTRUST-6G will provide […]
- [About](https://xtrust-6g.eu/about/): About XTRUST-6g XTRUST-6G aims to establish a robust security framework for 6G ecosystems, grounded in the zero-trust principle and prioritizing resilience, privacy, and dependability. At its core, the project will implement dynamic access control through a context-aware, risk-based policy engine that leverages cyber-threat intelligence and behavioral insights from 6G infrastructure. To mitigate attack risks, the project will focus on micro-segmentation, isolating vulnerable virtualized functions from critical O-RAN assets to prevent lateral movement and minimize potential damage. Advanced AI-driven security measures will be deployed to optimize attack surface reduction and enhance intrusion detection. A next-generation extended detection and response (XDR) solution […]
