Yang Lu
Abstract
The prospect of information and communication technology (ICT) has given rise to widespread attention and in-depth research on 6G. It is estimated that 6G will not be implemented until 2030; it is currently at the research and foundation stage. Based on the development of the previous five generations, from 1G to 5G, 6G has the potential to provide customized services through a holographic and ubiquitous network. 6G’s achievement will need the support of various technologies. One important factor in the success of 6G will be security. Specifically, 6G’s key enabling technologies include terahertz, a very large scale antenna, a tactile Internet, etc. This study addresses the fundamental principles of 6G security, discusses major technologies related to 6G security, and presents several issues regarding 6G security. This paper will offer value to anyone who is paying attention to the security issues in 6G.
