Abstract

The sixth-generation mobile communication (6G) networks will face more complex endogenous security problems, and it is urgent to propose new universal security theories and establish new practice norms to deal with the “unknown unknown” security threats in cyberspace. This paper first expounds the new paradigm of cyberspace endogenous security and introduces the vision of 6G cyberspace security. Then, it analyzes the security problems faced by the 6G core network, wireless access network, and emerging associated technologies in detail, as well as the corresponding security technology development status and the integrated development of endogenous security and traditional security. Furthermore, this paper describes the relevant security theories and technical concepts under the guidance of the new paradigm of endogenous security.

摘要

6G网络将面临更为复杂的内生安全问题, 亟需提出新的普适性安全理论, 建立新的实践规范, 以应对网络空间“未知的未知”安全威胁. 本文首先阐述了网络空间内生安全发展的新范式, 介绍了6G网络安全的需求愿景. 进而详细分析了6G核心网、 无线接入网、 新兴使能技术等面临的安全问题, 以及相应的安全技术发展现状, 分析了内生安全与传统安全的融合发展, 进而给出网络空间内生安全新范式指导下的相关安全理论与技术构想.
