Innovative Research Paper on 6G Trustworthy Assessment Accepted at EuCNC 2024

CyberDataLab team is excited to announce that the groundbreaking research paper entitled “Building Trust in the Era of 6G: A Level of Trust Assessment Function for Cloud Continuum” has been accepted for presentation at the European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC) 2024, set to take place in Antwerp, Belgium.

Sixth-Generation Wireless Networks promise to revolutionize how we manage and use digital infrastructures, offering dynamic, self-managing scenarios that cater to real-time user needs through what is known as the Cloud Continuum. This spans resources from the Extreme Edge to the Cloud, yet brings complexities in resource allocation and management due to the sheer volume of available options.

Our paper introduces a groundbreaking “Level of Trust Assessment Function (LoTAF)” designed to navigate these challenges. LoTAF acts as a neutral, intelligent service that evaluates trust levels across network services, ensuring secure and reliable connections across various domains and providers. This function is crucial for making informed decisions in environments where trust and uncertainty can hinder user interactions with unfamiliar stakeholders.

Additionally, we propose the “Trust Level Agreement (TLA),” evolving from traditional Service Level Agreements, to better reflect and manage the nuances of trust in 6G networks. This innovative approach allows stakeholders to articulate their needs and manage resources with greater confidence, leveraging insights from historical data and ongoing network interactions. Thus, the research paper seeks to extend network management and orchestration one step further by incorporating trust as a new intent to configure and deploy future 6G networks.

The acceptance of this paper highlights our commitment to advancing the field of communication technologies and emphasizes the innovative spirit of our research team, since this join publication underscores the successful result of the effort carried out in the 6G flagship project in Europe, Hexa-X.

At EuCNC 2024, our researchers will share their insights and findings with other global experts, contributing to a collaborative effort to shape the future of telecommunications. We cordially invite all attendees of EuCNC 2024 to join the presentation and learn more about this pioneering work.
