Pioneering AI-enhanced SEcure 6G Services framework

A native security layer for future 6G networks, combining AI for cybersecurity, quantum-safe cryptography and privacy protection, engineered in from the very first line.
PROJECT OVERVIEW

Building Secure and Privacy-first 6G Networks

The new sixth-generation (6G) telecommunications standard will not only transmit data but will also function as a radar capable of monitoring human activity. The European scientific project PAISES-6G, led by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and with the participation of 17 other organisations, is working on technological solutions to ensure that all communications on a 6G network, including this integrated detection capability, are secure and ethical. To achieve this, it will integrate a native security layer combining artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, quantum-safe cryptography, and built-in privacy protections.

AI for Cybersecurity

Autonomous, real-time threat detection across every layer.

Quantum-safe Cryptography

Post-quantum encryption and quantum key distribution.

Built-in Privacy

Privacy-preserving sensing and secure data sharing.

OBJECTIVES

Secure, AI-native 6G Networks

PAISES-6G integrates secure AI/ML into 6G to deliver robust, scalable networks with strong privacy, quantum-safe security, and zero-touch automation across federated networks.

1
Build Trustworthy AI for 6G
Use AI and machine learning to make 6G networks more secure and trustworthy across every layer.
2
Create a Framework for Trusted AI/ML
A scalable, modular architecture that deploys AI models securely and “zero-touch”, with digital twins generating synthetic data for safe testing.
3
Deliver Holistic 6G Security
Protect the network end-to-end: physical-layer security, quantum-ready encryption and QKD, automatic vulnerability detection, intrusion detection, and AI-driven cyber threat intelligence.
4
Protect Privacy in 6G Services
Privacy-preserving Joint Communication & Sensing, secure telemetry and data sharing, and privacy-enhancing technologies that keep user data safe.
5
Test and Prove the Solutions
Integrate, validate and demonstrate everything on real testbeds across five European countries, ending in a full final demonstration.
6
Stay Legal, Ethical and Viable
Ensure compliance with the AI Act, GDPR and Cyber Security Act, uphold ethical standards, and assess economic, social and environmental impact.
7
Drive Standards and Share Results
Promote global consensus through strong communication, dissemination, exploitation and contributions to 6G standardisation.
