"UCD Network Researcher Combatting 'Ecosystem of Connected Threats'"

Dr. Madhusanka Liyanage of University College Dublin (UCD) is the coordinator of the UCD School of Computer Science's Network Softwarization and Security Labs (Netslab) research group. This group is primarily focused on the security and privacy of future mobile networks, such as 5G and 6G. Netslab is a relatively new research group comprised of nine individuals, including three postdoctoral researchers and six Ph.D. students. At Netslab, research is conducted on various network softwarization and security aspects, including network slicing, software-defined networking, and edge computing. The team is particularly interested in how blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used to improve the security of future mobile networks. Netslab is establishing itself as a leading research group in network security by exploring and developing these technologies. Dr. Liyanage is also the leader of two significant EU Horizon 2020 projects, SPATIAL and CONFIDENTIAL6G. SPATIAL aims to move toward a trustworthy cybersecurity sector in Europe, enabling trustworthy governance and a regulatory framework for AI-driven security. The CONFIDENTIAL6G project will design quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols as well as security proof tools, libraries, mechanisms, and architectural blueprints for 6G confidentiality. This article continues to discuss Dr. Liyanage's research on novel security and privacy solutions.
