A security services management architecture toward resilient 6G wireless and computing ecosystems

The upcoming sixth-generation (6G) networks are expected to be more heterogeneous, scalable, reliable, secure and energy-efficient. 6G services and applications will benefit from the fast data transmission rates, global coverage, precise positioning, and widespread intelligence capabilities provided...

In this complex scenario, new attack surfaces and vectors will emerge, due to the distributed, disaggregated, dynamic, programmable and open nature of the entire end-to-end 6G infrastructure along with the fragmentation of data, as well as the need for supporting cross-platforms interoperability, making the application of security and trust fundamentally challenging.
