Critical Vulnerabilities Uncovered in Vital 6G Technology: What You Need to Know

“Our project focuses on identifying some potential risks associated with programmable metasurfaces—a key enabling technology in the envisioned 6G landscape,” explain Li, Galdi, and Cui. “Continuing our research, we are dedicated to shaping secure 6G networks, taking into account both the benefits and challenges associated with programmable metasurfaces.”

Their ongoing efforts include developing targeted cybersecurity defenses against physical-layer attacks, employing strategies such as beamforming, cooperative jamming with artificial noise, index modulation, and adaptive modulation.
