5G+TACTILE_4

The coordinated project 5G+TACTILE (Deterministic Communications for Tactile Internet over B5G with digital twins) aims to perform R&D in B5G, aligning with 4 priorities of the JU Smart Networks and Services that are considered to be highly interrelated: deterministic communications, new protocols, automatic network management and experimental B5G/6G platforms.

In particular, the 5G+TACTILE_4 project, led by the NICS Lab research group, addresses the protection of digital twin infrastructures. Such protection is not only focused on providing various lightweight virtualised security mechanisms and services, facilitating secure administration and interaction between them and other entities through federated or decentralised mechanisms. It is also about leveraging the very functioning of digital twins to integrate anomaly detection, response and resilience solutions. The project also involves the participation of at least two companies performing R&D and software development related to security services optimised for specific verticals.
