As more devices connect to the internet, speed and reliability are becoming essential. Yet with the arrival of 6G, cyberattacks such as spoofing, jamming, and communication blocking are expected to intensify.
At HEPIA, under the direction of Prof. HES Dr. Eryk Schiller, we investigate how resilient 5G networks are to such threats. Our work examines two main scenarios: the remote detection of infected users launching Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, with the aim of quickly filtering malicious traffic and removing compromised devices from the network; and the study of jamming, where interference signals disrupt legitimate wireless communication. In both cases, we analyze parameters within the network nodes that could enable early detection and explore possible strategies to mitigate the impact of those attacks.
