Abstract

The sixth generation (6G) of mobile networks is being developed to overcome limitations in previous generations and meet emerging user demands. As spearhead of the European research and development effort on 6G, the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) 6G Flagship project Hexa-X-II has a leading role for developing the technologies and anchoring 6G end-toend (E2E) system. This paper summarizes the security, privacy, and resilience (SPR) controls identified by the Hexa-X-II project and their validation activities. Moreover, we share the SPR view on the 6G E2E system with the SPR features which are necessary to ensure the trustworthiness of 6 G.
