This survey examines how Explainable AI (XAI) can strengthen security in 5G and future 6G networks, where AI models increasingly drive tasks such as intrusion detection, traffic classification, PHY-layer authentication, and anomaly detection. While these models offer strong performance, their… Read More »A Survey on XAI for 5G and Beyond Security: Technical Aspects, Challenges and Research Directions

This paper presents SHERPA, an explainability-driven defense framework designed to protect Federated Learning (FL) systems from data poisoning attacks. FL allows distributed devices to collaboratively train a global model without sharing raw data, but this also opens the door for… Read More »SHERPA: Explainable Robust Algorithms for Privacy-Preserved Federated Learning in Future Networks to Defend Against Data Poisoning Attacks

This paper provides a concise overview of how security must evolve as we move toward 6G smart networks, where communication, sensing, and computing become tightly integrated. It highlights that future systems will rely heavily on distributed AI/ML, making the protection… Read More »Advancing Security for 6G Smart Networks and Services

This paper introduces ROBUST-6G, a European research initiative aimed at designing a comprehensive security platform for future 6G networks. As 6G moves toward deeply integrated digital: physical systems, the project focuses on building security mechanisms that are data-driven, automated, trustworthy,… Read More »ROBUST-6G: Smart, Automated, and Reliable Security Service Platform for 6G

As wireless systems evolve toward 6G, AI becomes increasingly central to how networks operate, optimize themselves, and deliver advanced services. But with greater autonomy and complexity comes a critical requirement: the decisions made by AI models must be understandable, transparent,… Read More »Explainable AI for 6G Use Cases: Technical Aspects and Research Challenges

As 6G emerges as a transformative force in digital communication, its ability to seamlessly integrate the digital and physical worlds hinges on robust security frameworks. ROBUST-6G’s Deliverable 2.1, “6G Threat Analysis Report,” lays the groundwork for addressing this pivotal challenge,… Read More »Unveiling the Future of 6G Security with ROBUST-6G’s Threat Analysis
