Our partner R2M Solution is contributing this week to the ETSI 2024 Security Conference, ETSI’s annual flagship event on cybersecurity, taking place from 14 to 17 October 2024 in Sophia Antipolis, France.

This exclusive face-to-face event offers the cybersecurity community a valuable opportunity to connect with experts, network with peers, and exchange insights on the most pressing topics in cybersecurity standardisation. The intensive four-day programme brings together speakers from government agencies, standardisation bodies, academia, and a wide range of industry sectors.

This year’s event covers topics such as AI – Impacts of Regulation on Zero Trust and Consumer Devices, Societal Impact of Technology, Fraud, Security and Standards Convergence, 5G to 6G, Privacy and Encryption Technologies, Transport, Public Safety, and Critical Communications, and Consumer Verticals.

6G-TWIN is being featured in the Poster and Demonstration area of the event, showcasing the security aspects and our approach to addressing them in our project on digital twins for future mobile networks. The poster was prepared by our partners Ericsson and R2M Solution.

Poster Abstract: 6G technology is expected to bring transformative benefits such as unprecedented speeds, ultra-low latency, and enhanced connectivity, supporting a wide range of applications from immersive augmented reality to advanced telemedicine. Integrating 6G with Digital Twin (DT) technology is anticipated to further revolutionize network management, providing advanced tools for design, development, and optimization. Digital Twins enable real-time simulation, predictive analytics, and seamless integration of physical and digital systems. However, this integration introduces significant security and privacy challenges, such as ensuring secure interfaces, protecting data during sharing, achieving consistent data harmonization, and safeguarding AI model training from malicious attacks. Addressing these issues is critical for the successful deployment of DTs within 6G frameworks. This work explores the specific requirements and challenges of integrating DTs into the 6G architecture, with a focus on data privacy and security.
