Description

Future networks are becoming increasingly intelligent, distributed, and heterogeneous, spanning cloud–edge–terminal infrastructures and terrestrial as well as non-terrestrial domains. In this highly dynamic environment, security, trust, privacy, and resilience are fundamental requirements for ensuring reliable and sustainable network operation.

This track covers security architectures, zero-trust networking, privacy-preserving communication, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, and resilience against failures and attacks. It focuses on designing trustworthy, robust, and secure network infrastructures that can withstand cyber threats, system faults, and large-scale disruptions while maintaining service continuity and performance guarantees.

We welcome original contributions addressing theoretical foundations, system designs, protocols, algorithms, and experimental evaluations that enhance the security posture and resilience of future networks, including AI-native and 6G systems.
