MARE
Programmable, Modular and Disaggregated Security Plane for 6G Ecosystems
Features
The evolution towards 6G communications brings new security challenges, including protecting user data, securing ultra-low latency connections, countering cyber threats, and ensuring network integrity. These challenges will be critical to building a secure, reliable, and resilient communication ecosystem.
- Programmable security functions allow dynamic customization and real-time adaptation to emerging threats, ensuring the security plane can evolve with the 6G ecosystem
- Modular security components enable the seamless integration of diverse, specialized functions, offering a tailored approach to address specific security needs within the 6G network.
- Disaggregated security allows for the decentralization of functions, enhancing flexibility and scalability by enabling independent management and updates of security elements across different network domains.
Aim
A reliable 6G services provisioning platform through the definition of a novel security plane
MARE aims to create a reliable 6G service provisioning platform by defining a novel security plane with open, programmable security functions. It focuses on proactively handling attacks and threats in 6G networks through enriched security services, known as Dynamic Open Trust (DOTs). These DOTs are advanced security primitives designed to be modular and programmable, allowing them to be combined into flexible security services that maximize protection across different network environments.
Additionally, MARE leverages smart pre-assessment environments and systematic attack modeling frameworks to anticipate and mitigate potential threats effectively.
