5G-TACTIC – 5G Trusted And Secure Network Services
The 5G TACTIC project focuses on improving the security, trustworthiness, and interoperability of 5G networks in Europe. The initiative brings together national regulatory authorities and cybersecurity institutions from several EU member states, European technology providers developing open 5G solutions, as well as network operators and research centers. The project is developing secure, open, disaggregated, and interoperable 5G network components to support the development of a competitive European telecommunications ecosystem.
Technical activities include the development of cybersecurity tools for 5G networks, conducting extensive security analyses, tests, and evaluations, as well as preparing adequate risk mitigation measures. The project also implements pilot projects and the integration of multi-vendor, open 5G solutions (including Open RAN), with a particular focus on security aspects. Educational and training activities aimed at technical audiences, security specialists, and regulatory authorities are also an important element.

CyberBEAM
The project “Cybersecurity Assessment and Certification System – Lightweight Certification Programs” is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development as part of the CyberSecIdent program – “Cybersecurity and eIdentity”. The project is implemented in a consortium consisting of NASK and the Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG.
Fundamentals of Business Cybersecurity
Development of digital competences among Polish entrepreneurs, increasing the level of protection in the SME sector and stability of economic turnover in the country, as well as the dissemination and implementation of a new cybersecurity standard in companies – these are just some of the benefits of the Digitally Secure Company program.


Experimental Validation Platform
Experimental platform for automatic verification and validation of cryptographic algorithms and protocols (EPW).
The Experimental Platform EPW is intended to enable compliance assessment with the requirements of the EN-ISO/IEC 19790:2018 standard “Security requirements for cryptographic modules,” with an extension to tests adopted in the document SOG-IS Crypto Evaluation Scheme Agreed Cryptographic Mechanisms, for cryptographic modules implemented as either software or hardware-software components.
The project is carried out as part of the National Centre for Research and Development’s Cybersecurity and eIdentity Program.

OptoKrypt
Optical quantum cryptography technologies for data protection in teleinformatics networks (OptoKrypt).
CeleThe aim of the project is to develop modern optical quantum cryptography technologies for securing data exchange in teleinformatics networks, serving the security and defense of the State. The architecture of the proposed solutions includes the development of a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) system, a national Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system, and a Phase Optical Encoding System (POES). The project is co-funded by the National Centre for Research and Development as part of the Program for the defense and security of the State entitled “Development of modern, breakthrough technologies serving the security and defense of the State” under the acronym “SZAFIR”.

KSO3C (Accomplished)
A national scheme for assessing and certifying the security and privacy of IT products and systems in accordance with Common Criteria.
Project started in March 2018 with an end date of 3 years. The consortium implementing the project includes three scientific units: NASK, the Institute of Communications and the Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG. The project will create an effective system for assessing and certifying the security and privacy of ICT products and services, including: in response to the above-mentioned initiative of the European Commission. The project was completed in June 2022.
