XTRUST-6G 2nd Plenary Meeting
On December 1-2, 2025, the XTRUST-6G consortium gathered at the University of Luxembourg for its 2nd Plenary Meeting. The two-day event brought together representatives from all 19 consortium partners, offering a valuable opportunity to review technical progress, align upcoming activities, and consolidate the roadmap toward extended zero-trust and intelligent security for resilient, quantum-safe 6G networks. The meeting also confirmed key next steps toward the project’s upcoming mid-term milestones.
Day 1 - Technical Progress and Work Package Updates
The first day was dedicated to in-depth technical discussions across the project’s core work packages. Partners presented updates and exchanged views on key topics, including:
- Requirements and overall system architecture for the 6G zero-trust framework
- Unified management of endpoints, identities, and services
- Privacy enablers and trusted AI/ML techniques
- Advanced cyber-threat detection and incident response
- Quantum-safe and physical-layer security approaches
- Cloud-native security and orchestration for 6G applications
The day concluded with sessions on project management, dissemination activities, and exploitation planning.
Day 2 - Integration Planning and Use Case Review
The second day focused on system integration and demonstration planning. Partners aligned their strategies for integration activities, SMO-related developments, and ORAN interoperability.
Progress across all five XTRUST-6G use cases was also reviewed, including:
- Resilient 6G-enabled EV charging infrastructures
- Secure 6G-connected autonomous mobility
- Quantum key distribution for end-to-end 6G protection
- Security for virtualised 6G environments
These discussions enabled partners to synchronise technical efforts and prepare the next phases of implementation and validation.
During the meeting, our Head of R&D and Technical Manager of the project, Panagiotis Radoglou Grammatikis, led the discussions about the architecture and technical specifications of the project.
As XTRUST-6G advances toward its next milestones, the strong collaboration demonstrated during the plenary meeting will be instrumental in delivering a robust, privacy-preserving, and quantum-safe 6G security architecture, capable of addressing the evolving needs of Europe’s digital infrastructures and beyond.
