The paper "End-to-End Security Enforcement on Packet and Optical Transport Providers in Untrustworthy Multi-stakeholder Scenario" with acknowledgement to the 6G-OPENSEC Project and with contributions from the Smart Networks team has been accepted in the 25th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON 2025). The conference where the paper will be presented will be hosted in Barcelona, Spain, from July 6th to 10th, 2025.

This paper introduces a new service and security orchestration solution designed to help operators and security providers establish a trust-based relationship in a multi-stakeholder environment. This solution, known as Open SECurity & Trust Orchestration (OpenSEC), enables the registration of relationships between a 6G operator and its potential security providers using Blockchain technology. This allows for the monitoring of security services and the ability to reward or penalize securty providers based on their performance.
