The CORE Research Group from the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications has been honored with the Best Booth Award at the prestigious EuCNC and 6G Summit 2024, which was held from June 3rd to 6th in Antwerp. This recognition highlights the outstanding contributions of the EU-funded project PRIVATEER, in which the CORE Research Group is a key participant.

Members of the CORE Research Group, Maria Christopoulou and Dimitris Santorinaios (part of Dr George Xylouris’ team), participated in the project’s booth by presenting a cutting-edge demonstration on the real-time detection and mitigation of security threats within a live 5G network. The demonstrations of the booth were a significant attraction at the conference, showcasing innovative solutions to enhance security in next-generation networks.

The PRIVATEER project’s booth featured not only the CORE Research Group’s demo but also contributions from other project partners, including Space Hellas S.A., the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS/NTUA), and UBITECH Ltd. These partners demonstrated various aspects of the project, emphasizing the project’s commitment to advancing privacy-first security solutions in 6G.

This award showcases the importance and impact of collaborative efforts in driving forward technological innovations that prioritize security and privacy in emerging communication networks. Congratulations to the CORE Research Group and all PRIVATEER partners for their remarkable achievement and contribution to the future of 6G security.

Demo Description: Showcasing the PRIVATEER Privacy-preserving Security Enablers

Privacy is considered a key pillar in EU research and development activities towards 6G. In the 6G multi-actor pluralistic environment, privacy is pivotal, not only for the end users, but also for all involved stakeholders; and it needs to be considered as a key requirement in all technologies of the network stack, including security mechanisms. In other words, the challenge for security enablers in future networks is, on the one hand, to address the significantly widened 6G threat landscape, while on the other hand to preserve the privacy of all actors in the 6G chain. Intrusive security cannot be any more considered acceptable. In this context, the mission of PRIVATEER is to pave the way for 6G “privacy-first security” by studying, designing and developing innovative security enablers for 6G networks, following a privacy-by-design approach.
