Develop a virtual representation (Digital Twin) of the real world, for 6G “NextGen Sustainable Smart Mobility". Develop accurate modeling to secure high precision 6G network simulation performance assessment/optimization. Develop in-house a reconfigurable and flexible Open Air interface testing platform (RF/HW/SW) to deploy and validate advanced concepts
AI-based autonomous security system that takes complete responsibility for defending a set of software services. AI will automatically develop firewall rules to stop attack traffic, analyzing programs to find bugs before an attacker, and patching vulnerabilities in compiled programs without any access to source code. Software defenses that might take human analysts' hours, days, or weeks to develop and test will be all deployed at machine speeds, on the order of tens of seconds, with no humans in the loop.
AI-based Intrusion detection and protection system (IDS/IPS) for massive IoT Networks, covering all system layers: from the perception, network protocols and application layers. The solution will run at the edge network and application levels (Hybrid mode). Once AI autonomously detects suspicious packets and behaviors, an IoT specific intrusion protection system (IPS) will trigger automatically several actions to make systems bullet-proof against the malicious actions that compromise the availability, integrity, or confidentiality of IoTs
