Workshop on AI-Native Trustworthy Security for 6G V2X and Autonomous Mobility

Exploring trustworthy, AI-native, and resilient security architectures for next-generation V2X and autonomous mobility systems

Scope of the Workshop

As intelligent transportation systems evolve toward 6G-enabled connectivity, software-defined vehicles (SDV), and AI-native networks, securing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) and autonomous mobility ecosystems has become significantly more complex. Modern mobility infrastructures integrate ultra-low-latency communication, edge intelligence, federated learning, over-the-air (OTA) software updates, and safety-critical cyber-physical interactions.

Traditional lightweight or layer-specific security approaches are no longer sufficient to address the emerging threat landscape. This workshop aims to explore trustworthy, AI-native, and resilient security architectures for next-generation V2X and autonomous mobility systems. It seeks innovative cross-layers, zero-trust, and compliance-aware security solutions that integrate artificial intelligence, post-quantum cryptography, hardware roots of trust, digital twin-based validation, and safety-security convergence principles.

The workshop aims to bridge communication theory, cybersecurity, AI, embedded systems, and regulatory frameworks to provide a forward-looking forum for advancing secure 6G-enabled mobility infrastructures.
