XTRUST-6G

Pilot 2 within the XTRUST-6G project focuses on secure and intelligent autonomous mobility, testing zero-trust security mechanisms and AI-driven cybersecurity for 6G-enabled autonomous vehicles and smart mobility infrastructures. Hosted at Tallinn University of Technology, the pilot integrates zero-trust security frameworks with AI-powered intrusion detection to enhance cybersecurity for autonomous shuttles operating in smart city environments. Leveraging private 5G networks and exploring future 6G capabilities, it ensures secure and low-latency vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. The pilot also incorporates smart traffic infrastructure, including intelligent traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings enabling real-time secure data exchange between infrastructure and autonomous vehicles. AI-driven anomaly detection and cyber-resilience mechanisms will protect against cyberattacks targeting AV software, sensor spoofing, and data manipulation. The pilot aims to demonstrate secure, AI-powered, 6G-ready autonomous mobility, develop real-time cyber threat detection and automated response for AVs, validate zero-trust frameworks in an operational smart city environment, and provide recommendations for future 6G security standards in mobility applications. As a crucial part of XTRUST-6G, it contributes to the development of resilient, quantum-safe, and energy-efficient cybersecurity for next-generation autonomous mobility solutions.
