Factsheet#4: Sub-THz systems coping with an elephant in the room: strengthen first, standardize next
Sub-THz systems have been advocated for their potential to deliver ultra-fast wireless connectivity, precise localization, and innovative sensing capabilities—thanks to the abundant bandwidth available at these frequencies. Yet, as highlighted in Factsheet #4, there remains a critical challenge: the “elephant in the room” is the fragility of sub-THz links. Unlike wireless systems operating below 10 GHz, both the signal propagation and hardware performance at sub-THz frequencies pose unique difficulties that cannot simply be predicted by scaling up existing technologies. These often-overlooked complications make the path toward reliable sub-THz deployment more complex than it may initially appear. In this blog post, we explore these challenges and discuss why strengthening the foundation of sub-THz technology must come before efforts to standardize.

ORSHIN - Demonstrator Video 01
As everyday devices grow more connected, securing them is crucial. The ORSHIN project aims to build open-source, resilient hardware and software for the Internet of Things (IoT). To reach this goal security research on real hardware is essential, as the architectural simulators—often the only option due to proprietary designs—don’t reflect the full complexity of actual hardware. This limits the ability to evaluate security changes or observe real hardware behavior. To push security research on actual hardware, the ORSHIN team developed Proteus, an open-source RISC-V processor designed for rapid prototyping of security features. It includes tools for both security validation and performance testing.

CONNECT - Trust Assessment Framework
The Trust Assessment Framework (TAF) is a Framework that continuously evaluates trust relationships between system entities to ensure reliable and safe data utilization. By assessing the trustworthiness of each component in real time, it helps detect compromised data—key to ensuring vehicle safety.
CONNECT - Use Case 01 - Intersection Movement Assistance (IMA) & Misbehavior Detection (MBD)
Intersection Movement Assistance is an application in V2X ecosystems that can help coordinate vehicles at intersections. Based on the exchange of critical real-time data from the involved vehicles, it can detect and evaluate probable crash zones in time. But what happens in case of potential attack risks in the transmitted messages? The focus of the first CONNECT use case is to demonstrate CONNECT’s trust assessment framework’s ability to provide accurate trustworthiness assessments of CPM messages. Find our more about CONNECT: horizon-connect.eu The CONNECT project project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101069688. Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Commission-EU. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
CONNECT - Use Case 03 - Slow Moving Traffic Detection (SMTD)
Slow-Moving Traffic Detection (SMTD), developed in cooperation by Stellantis-CRF and Politecnico di Torino, enhances road safety and traffic efficiency using V2X communication. Vehicles share real-time sensor data about slow-moving traffic through a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) server, which acts as a central hub at the edge of the network, facilitating real-time data analysis and decision-making. The focus of this CONNECT use case is to demonstrate the ability of CONNECT’s combined solutions of Misbehavior Detection (MBD) and the Trust Assessment Framework (TAF) to continuously identify and report suspicious data, preventing the dissemination of harmful or erroneous information within the network.

Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
CONNECT - Use Case 02 - Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (C-ACC)
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (C-ACC) is an in-vehicle driver assistance system designed to synchronize and coordinate traffic. By exchanging critical real-time vehicle data—such as speed, acceleration, and position—it can automatically calculate and adjust the vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from others. The focus of the second CONNECT use case is to ensure the safe operation of C-ACC by assessing trust at runtime and responding to trustworthiness changes with appropriate actions.
