As the popularity of mobile devices and wireless networks significantly increased over the
past years. The wireless adhoc network has now become one of the most vibrant and active
fields of communication and networking research. These networks are a new generation of
networks offering unrestricted mobility without any underlying infrastructure. As their
principle application is in disastrous environments, security is critical. Various challenges are
faced in the adhoc environment, mostly due to the resource poorness of these networks. One
man confront in the design of these networks is their vulnerability to security attacks. The
solutions for conventional networks are usually not sufficient to provide efficient adhoc
operations. Just because of its wireless nature of communication and lack of any security
infrastructure raise several security problems and threats.
In this paper, we briefly review the threats an adhoc network faces and the security goals to
be achieved. Moreover, it also presents existing security schemes used in wireless adhoc
networks in order to handle security threats.
SECURITY AND PRIVACY AWARE PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR IOT APPLICATIONS IN CLOUD EN...ijccsa
The introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) applications into daily life has raised serious privacy concerns
among consumers, network service providers, device manufacturers, and other parties involved. This paper
gives a high-level overview of the three phases of data collecting, transmission, and storage in IoT systems
as well as current privacy-preserving technologies. The following elements were investigated during these
three phases:(1) Physical and data connection layer security mechanisms(2) Network remedies(3)
Techniques for distributing and storing data. Real-world systems frequently have multiple phases and
incorporate a variety of methods to guarantee privacy. Therefore, for IoT research, design, development,
and operation, having a thorough understanding of all phases and their technologies can be beneficial. In
this Study introduced two independent methodologies namely generic differential privacy (GenDP) and
Cluster-Based Differential privacy ( Cluster-based DP) algorithms for handling metadata as intents and
intent scope to maintain privacy and security of IoT data in cloud environments. With its help, we can
virtual and connect enormous numbers of devices, get a clearer understanding of the IoT architecture, and
store data eternally. However, due of the dynamic nature of the environment, the diversity of devices, the
ad hoc requirements of multiple stakeholders, and hardware or network failures, it is a very challenging
task to create security-, privacy-, safety-, and quality-aware Internet of Things apps. It is becoming more
and more important to improve data privacy and security through appropriate data acquisition. The
proposed approach resulted in reduced loss performance as compared to Support Vector Machine (SVM) ,
Random Forest (RF) .

Efficient ECC-Based Authentication Scheme for Fog-Based IoT EnvironmentIJCNCJournal
The rapid growth of cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications faces several threats, such as latency, security, network failure, and performance. These issues are solved with the development of fog computing, which brings storage and computation closer to IoT-devices. However, there are several challenges faced by security designers, engineers, and researchers to secure this environment. To ensure the confidentiality of data that passes between the connected devices, digital signature protocols have been applied to the authentication of identities and messages. However, in the traditional method, a user's private key is directly stored on IoTs, so the private key may be disclosed under various malicious attacks. Furthermore, these methods require a lot of energy, which drains the resources of IoT-devices. A signature scheme based on the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) is proposed in this paper to improve the security of the private key and the time taken for key-pair generation. ECDSA security is based on the intractability of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), which allows one to use much smaller groups. Smaller group sizes directly translate into shorter signatures, which is a crucial feature in settings where communication bandwidth is limited, or data transfer consumes a large amount of energy. In this paper, we have chosen the safe curve types of elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) such as M221, SECP256r1, curve 25519, Brainpool P256t1, and M-551. These types of curves are the most secure curves of other curves of ECC as their security is based on the complexity of the ECDLP of the curve. And these types of curves exceed the complexity of the ECDLP. A valid signature can be generated without reestablishing the whole private key. ECDSA ensures data security and successfully reduces intermediate attacks. The efficiency and effectiveness of ECDSA in the IoT environment are validated by experimental evaluation and comparison analysis. The results indicate that, in comparison to the two-party ECDSA and RSA, the proposed ECDSA decreases computation time by 65% and 87%, respectively. Additionally, as compared to two-party ECDSA and RSA, respectively, it reduces energy consumption by 77% and 82%.

PRIVACY AWARE COMPUTING
Introduction
With the increasing public concerns of security and personal data privacy worldwide, security
and privacy become an important research area. This research area is very broad and covers
many application domains.
The security and privacy aware computing research group actually focuses on
(1) privacy-preserved computing,
(2) Video surveillance, and
(3) secure biometric system.
Now let us briefly discuss the above three groups.
Privacy-preserved Computing
Concerns on the data privacy have been increasing worldwide. For example, Apple was
reportedly fined by South Korea’s telecommunications regulator for allegedly collecting and
storing private location data of iPhone users. The privacy concerns raised by both end-users and
government authorities have been hindering the deployment of many valuable IT services, such
as data mining and analysis, data outsourcing, and mobile location-aware computing.
soo, in response to the growing necessity of protecting data privacy, our research group has been
focusing on developing innovative solutions towards information services --- to support these
services while preserving users’ personal privacy.
Video Surveillance
With the growing installation of surveillance video cameras in both private and public areas, the
closed-circuit TV (CCTV) has been evolved from a single camera system to a multiple camera
system; and has recently been extended to a large-scale network of cameras.
One of the objectives of a camera network is to monitor and understand security issues in the
area under surveillance. While the camera network hardware is generally well-designed and
roundly installed, the development of intelligent video analysis software lags far behind. As
such, our group has been focusing on developing video surveillance algorithms such as face
tracking, person re-identification, human action recognition.
Our goal is to develop an intelligent video surveillance system.
Secure Biometric System
With the growing use of biometrics, there is a rising concern about the security and privacy of
the biometric data. Recent studies show that simple attacks on a biometric system, such as hill
climbing, are able to recover the raw biometric data from stolen biometric template. Moreover,
the attacker may be able to make use of the stolen face template to access the system or cross-
match across databases. Our group has been working on face template protection, multimodality
template protection, and .
The fast emerging of internet of things (IoTs) has introduced fog computing as an intermediate layer between end-users and the cloud datacenters. Fog computing layer characterized by its closeness to end users for service provisioning than the cloud. However, security challenges are still a big concern in fog and cloud computing paradigms as well. In fog computing, one of the most destructive attacks is man-in-the-middle (MitM). Moreover, MitM attacks are hard to be detected since they performed passively on the network level. This paper proposes a MitM mitigation scheme in fog computing architecture. The proposal mapped the fog layer on software-defined network (SDN) architecture. The proposal integrated multi-path transmission control protocol (MPTCP), moving target defense (MTD) technique, and reinforcement learning agent (RL) in one framework that contributed significantly to improving the fog layer resources utilization and security. The proposed schema hardens the network reconnaissance and discovery, thus improved the network security against MitM attack. The evaluation framework was tested using a simulation environment on mininet, with the utilization of MPTCP kernel and Ryu SDN controller. The experimental results shows that the proposed schema maintained the network resiliency, improves resource utilization without adding significant overheads compared to the traditional transmission control protocol (TCP).
A data quarantine model to secure data in edge computingIJECEIAES
Edge computing provides an agile data processing platform for latencysensitive and communication-intensive applications through a decentralized cloud and geographically distributed edge nodes. Gaining centralized control over the edge nodes can be challenging due to security issues and threats. Among several security issues, data integrity attacks can lead to inconsistent data and intrude edge data analytics. Further intensification of the attack makes it challenging to mitigate and identify the root cause. Therefore, this paper proposes a new concept of data quarantine model to mitigate data integrity attacks by quarantining intruders. The efficient security solutions in cloud, ad-hoc networks, and computer systems using quarantine have motivated adopting it in edge computing. The data acquisition edge nodes identify the intruders and quarantine all the suspected devices through dimensionality reduction. During quarantine, the proposed concept builds the reputation scores to determine the falsely identified legitimate devices and sanitize their affected data to regain data integrity. As a preliminary investigation, this work identifies an appropriate machine learning method, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), for dimensionality reduction. The LDA results in 72.83% quarantine accuracy and 0.9 seconds training time, which is efficient than other state-of-the-art methods. In future, this would be implemented and validated with ground truth data.
Authentication Devices in Fog-mobile Edge Computing Environments through a Wi...ijujournal
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, Fog computing, mobile edge computing and wireless grids has resulted in the
wide spread deployment of relatively immature technology. These technologies, which will primarily use 5G wireless communication networks, are becoming popular because they can be deployed quickly with little infrastructure and lends themselves to environments
utilizing numerous internet connected devices (ICD). There are, however, many significant challenges faced by security designers, engineers and implementers of these networks in ensuring that the level of
security afforded is appropriate. Because of the threat of exploitation, these networks have to be protected by a robust security architecture due to these technologies being plagued with security problems. The authentication of smart ICDs to IoT networks is a critical mechanism for achieving security on these new information system platforms. This article identifies an authentication process required for these ICDs, which will need to prove their identity to authenticate to an IoT fog-mobile edge computing (FMEC) cloud
network through a wireless grid authentication process. The purpose of this article is to hypothesize a generic authentication methodology for these FMEC clouds uses in an IoT architecture. The proposed
methodology, called wg-IoT, must include the integration of Fog computing, wireless grids and mobile edge computing clouds to create this new IoT architecture. An authentication process developed from the resource sharing protocol (RSP) from a wireless grid is first developed and proposed for the authentication of ICDs. The wireless grid core components must be embedded in IoT devices or sensors
depending on their capability to handle five primary functions: management of identification [ID] andpresence, permissions
management, data transferability, application-programming interface [API] and security.

tions in a brief manner.

Future communication networks will integrate `SSS\' concepts such as social networking, social networking device, and social desktop. In this paper, we focus on applications over social networking sites (SNS). Due to emerging bandwidth-hungry applications over SNS, hybrid fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks are a promising solution to mitigate the last mile bandwidth bottleneck. SNS are particularly vulnerable to Automated Social Engineering (ASE) attacks due to their powerful information gathering functionalities. We discuss how integrated FiWi access networks supporting SNS systems perform, and how they can deal with threats related to ASE. In addition, we explain how an ASE attack may be launched from different networking platforms and propose a security architecture for ASE attacks over FiWi access networks.
BIOMETRIC SMARTCARD AUTHENTICATION FOR FOG COMPUTINGIJNSA Journal
In the IoT scenario, things at the edge can create significantly large amounts of data. Fog Computing has recently emerged as the paradigm to address the needs of edge computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. In a Fog Computing environment, much of the processing would take place closer to the edge in a router device, rather than having to be transmitted to the Fog. Authentication is an important issue for the security of fog computing since services are offered to massive-scale end users by front fog nodes.Fog computing faces new security and privacy challenges besides those inherited from cloud computing. Authentication helps to ensure and confirms a user's identity. The existing traditional password authentication does not provide enough security for the data and there have been instances when the password-based authentication has been manipulated to gain access into the data. Since the conventional methods such as passwords do not serve the purpose of data security, research worksare focused on biometric user authentication in fog computing environment. In this paper, we present biometric smartcard authentication to protect the fog computing environment.

Due to the expansion growth of the IoT devices, Fog computing was proposed to enhance the low latency IoT applications and meet the distribution nature of these devices. However, Fog computing was criticized for several privacy and security vulnerabilities. This paper aims to identify and discuss the security challenges for Fog computing. It also discusses blockchain technology as a complementary mechanism associated with Fog computing to mitigate the impact of these issues. The findings of this paper reveal that blockchain can meet the privacy and security requirements of fog computing; however, there are several limitations of blockchain that should be further investigated in the context of Fog computing.

tions in a brief manner.

A Security Architecture for Automated Social Engineering (ASE) Attacks over F...CSCJournals
Future communication networks will integrate `SSS\' concepts such as social networking, social networking device, and social desktop. In this paper, we focus on applications over social networking sites (SNS). Due to emerging bandwidth-hungry applications over SNS, hybrid fiber-wireless (FiWi) access networks are a promising solution to mitigate the last mile bandwidth bottleneck. SNS are particularly vulnerable to Automated Social Engineering (ASE) attacks due to their powerful information gathering functionalities. We discuss how integrated FiWi access networks supporting SNS systems perform, and how they can deal with threats related to ASE. In addition, we explain how an ASE attack may be launched from different networking platforms and propose a security architecture for ASE attacks over FiWi access networks.
BIOMETRIC SMARTCARD AUTHENTICATION FOR FOG COMPUTINGIJNSA Journal
In the IoT scenario, things at the edge can create significantly large amounts of data. Fog Computing has recently emerged as the paradigm to address the needs of edge computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. In a Fog Computing environment, much of the processing would take place closer to the edge in a router device, rather than having to be transmitted to the Fog. Authentication is an important issue for the security of fog computing since services are offered to massive-scale end users by front fog nodes.Fog computing faces new security and privacy challenges besides those inherited from cloud computing. Authentication helps to ensure and confirms a user's identity. The existing traditional password authentication does not provide enough security for the data and there have been instances when the password-based authentication has been manipulated to gain access into the data. Since the conventional methods such as passwords do not serve the purpose of data security, research worksare focused on biometric user authentication in fog computing environment. In this paper, we present biometric smartcard authentication to protect the fog computing environment.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Abstract—Although the fifth generation wireless networks are
yet to be fully investigated, the vision and key elements of
the 6th generation (6G) ecosystem have already come into
discussion. In order to contribute to these efforts and delineate
the security and privacy aspects of 6G networks, we survey how
security may impact the envisioned 6G wireless systems with the
possible challenges and potential solutions. Especially, we discuss
the security and privacy challenges that may emerge with the
6G requirements, novel network architecture, applications and
enabling technologies including distributed ledger technologies,
physical layer security, distributed artificial intelligence (AI)/
machine learning (ML), Visible Light Communication (VLC),
THz bands, and quantum communication.

I. INTRODUCTION
Sixth generation (6G) of mobile communication is already
envisioned despite of the fact that 5G specifications are still de-
veloping and 5G coverage is not yet fully provided. The most
significant driving force in 6G leap is the inherent connected
intelligence in the telecommunication networks accompanied
with advanced networking and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
technologies. However, the alliance between 6G and AI may
also be a double-edged sword in many cases while applying
for protecting or infringing security and privacy. The evolution
of security landscape of telecommunication networks from 1G
to 5G and then to the envisioned 6G is illustrated in Figure 1.
Moreover, there are many efforts/proposals on blending novel
technologies such as blockchain, Visible Light Communica-
tion (VLC), THz, and quantum computing/communication fea-
tures in 6G intelligent networking paradigms in such a way to
tackle the security and privacy issues. Therefore, 6G security
considerations need to be analyzed in terms of physical layer
security, network information security and advanced learning
(e.g., deep learning) related security [1].
Since the standard functions and specifications of 6G are
yet to be defined, there is still very limited literature that
clearly provides security and privacy insights of 6G networks.
In this article, we try to shed the light on how security may
impact the envisioned 6G wireless systems with a concise
discussion of challenges and then related potential solutions. In
particular, we survey the security and privacy challenges that
may arise with the expected 6G requirements, novel network
architecture, new applications and enabling technologies. We
also discuss the potential security solutions for 6G along the
directions of distributed ledger technology (DLT), physical
layer security, quantum security, and distributed AI.
II. SECURITY CHALLENGES IN 6G NETWORKS
This section provides the possible security challenges and
threat landscape in future 6G wireless systems.
A. New 6G Requirements
Future 6G applications will pose stringent requirements and
require extended network capabilities compared to currently
developed 5G networks. These requirements are summarized
in Figure 2. They are established to enable the wide range
of key 6G use cases and thus can be categorized accord-
ingly. They also have major implications on how 6G se-
curity is implemented. For Enhanced Ultra-Reliable, Low-
Latency Communication (ERLLC/eURLLC), the latency im-
pact of security workflows will be considered to ensure service
quality. Similarly, high reliability requirements call for very
efficient security solutions protecting availability of services
and resources. With Further enhanced Mobile Broadband
(FeMBB), extreme data rates will pose challenges regarding
traffic processing for security such as attack detection, AI/ML
pipelines, traffic analysis and pervasive encryption. That issue
can be alleviated with distributed security solutions since
traffic should be processed locally and on-the-fly in different
segments of the network, ranging from the edge to the core
service cloud. At this point, DLT will be instrumental with
transparency, security and redundancy attributes. Ultra massive
Machine Type Communication (umMTC) will serve critical
use-cases which impose much more stringent security require-
ments compared to 5G. In particular, Internet of Everything
(IoE) with very diverse capabilities will challenge the deploy-
ment and operation of security solutions such as distributed
AI/ML and privacy concerns. An important aspect is how to
integrate novel security enablers in an abundance of resource
constrained devices. Nevertheless, the security enforcement
will be more complex since network entities will be much
more mobile, changing their edge networks frequently and
getting services in different administrative domains.

architecture of 6G transceivers, where hardware can be sepa-
rated from the transceiver algorithms. Hence, the transceiver
algorithms could dynamically configure and update themselves
based on environment and hardware information. Intelligent
radio will involve cutting-edge AI/ML techniques in order
to address accurate channel modeling, optimized physical
layer design, flexible spectrum access, complicated network
deployment, automation, optimization, and management issues
in the wireless domain [2]. Thus, suspicious activities by
malicious nodes need to be predicted during communication
processes for secure radios [3].
2) Edge Intelligence: When AI/ML algorithms are used
to acquire, storage or process data at the network edge, it
is referred to as edge intelligence (EI) [4]. In EI, an edge
server aggregates data generated by multiple devices that are
associated with it. Data is shared among multiple edge servers
for training models, and later used for analysis and prediction,
thus devices can benefit from faster feedback, reduced latency
and lower costs while enhancing their operation. However,
as data is collected from multiple sources, and the outcome
of AI/ML algorithms is highly data-dependent, EI is highly
prone to several security attacks. Attackers can exploit this
dependency to launch different attacks like data poisoning,
data evasion, or a privacy attack, thus affecting the outputs of
the AI/ML applications and undermining the benefits of EI.
3) Intelligence Network Management: The extreme range
of 6G requirements and the envisioned full end-to-end (E2E)
automation of network and service management (i.e., use of
AI) demand a radical change in network service orchestration
and management in 6G architecture [5], [6]. ETSI ZSM (Zero-
touch network and Service Management) [7] architecture for
5G is a promising initiative to pave the path towards this
intelligence network management deployment.
Several security challenges have been identified in such
intelligence network management deployments. First, closed
loop network automation may introduce security threats such
as Denial of Service (DoS), Man-In-The-Middle (MITM)
and deception attacks [8]. DoS attacks can be performed by
gradually adding fake heavy load in virtual network functions
(VNFs) to increase the capacity of virtual machines (VMs).
MITM attacks can be performed by triggering fake fault events
and intercepting the domain control messages to reroute traffic
via malicious devices. Deception attacks can be performed
by tampering the transmitted data. Secondly, if 6G networks
use Intent-Based Interfaces similar to ZSM which can be
vulnerable for information exposure, undesirable configuration
and abnormal behavior attacks can occur. Intercepting infor-
mation of intents by unauthorized entities can also compromise
system security objectives (e.g., privacy, confidentiality) and
result in the launch of other subsequent attacks. Undesirable
configuration in Intent-Based Interfaces such as changing the
mapping from intent to action or setting the security level
3. from “High” to “Low” can jeopardize the security of the
whole management system. A malformed intent could also
have similar effects.
C. New Applications
6G will be the key communication infrastructure to satisfy
the demands of future needs of hyper-connected human society
by 2030 and beyond. It is foreseen that 6G paves the way to the
development of many new technologies such as smart surfaces,
zero-energy IoT devices, advanced AI techniques, possible
quantum computing systems, AI-powered automated devices,
AI-driven air interfaces, humanoid robots, and self-sustained
networks. Moreover, the future trends of digital societies such
as massive availability of small data, increasing elderly popula-
tion, convergence of communication, sensing, and computing,
gadget-free communication will also demand new applica-
tions. The key 6G applications are identified as UAV based
mobility, Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV), Smart Grid
2.0, Collaborative Robots, Hyper-Intelligent Healthcare, In-
dustry 5.0, Digital Twin and Extended Reality [9]. The given
applications may accommodate different stakeholders and de-
mand different levels of 6G security requirements. Due to
the novelty of these application domains and the powerful
attackers, the security requirements and the challenges may
hugely vary in 6G rather than in 5G (Table I).
D. Privacy
Privacy protection is a basic performance requirement and a
key feature in wireless communications in the envisioned era
of 6G [3], [10], which poses three key challenges:
• The extremely large number of small chunks of data
exchanges in 6G may impose a greater threat on peoples’
privacy with an extensive attention attracted by govern-
mental and other business entities. The easier the data
is accessible and collectable in 6G era, the greater risk
they may impose on protecting user privacy and causing
regulatory difficulties.
• When the intelligence is moving to the edge of the
network, more sophisticated applications will run on
mobile devices increasing the threats of attacks. However,
incorporating privacy protecting mechanisms in resource-
constrained devices will be challenging.
• Keeping balance between maintaining the performance of
high-accurate services and the protection of user privacy
is noteworthy. Location information and identities are
needed to realize many smart applications. This requires
careful consideration of data access rights and ownership,
supervision and regulations for protecting privacy.
AI and machine learning (ML) technologies show a greater
impact on privacy in two ways [10]. In one way the correct
application of ML can protect privacy in 6G, whereas in
another way privacy violations may occur on ML attacks. The
privacy attacks on ML models can be occurred on training
(e.g., poisoning attack) and testing phases (e.g., reverse, mem-
bership interference, adversarial attacks).
E. New Technologies and Threat Landscapes
Considering the above technological, architectural and ap-
plication specific aspects of the future 6G networks, they
may encounter a wide range of security challenges as threat
landscapes. Since the attacks can be generalized based on
the technologies rather than the applications, we are taking
this step forward to give the reader an insight about the
most novel and specific attacks in 6G technologies (Table II).
The advent and advancements of technologies may also pave
the way to generate more powerful attackers who can create
sophisticated attacks on different parts of 6G architecture. In
addition to the attacks in Table II, each technology may also
face many variants of well-known attacks such as Distributed
DoS, MITM, sybil, scanning and spoofing attacks.

Key Tech. Security Threat Description
AI Poisonous attacks Training data tampering via intentionally prepared malicious samples (e.g., manipulation of labelled data or weak
labelling), and thus influencing the learning outcomes and leading to misclassification and wrong regression
outcomes
Evasion attacks Target the test phase by attempting to bypass the learned model by introducing disorders to the test instances.
ML API-based Attacks When an adversary queries and attack an API of a ML model to obtain predictions on input feature vectors. This

attacks.

attacks & communica-
tion tampering
Intentional outages and impairments in the communication and computational infrastructure lead to impairments
in decision-making/data processing and may even put entire AI systems offline.
Compromise of AI
frameworks
Most AI solutions utilize existing AI/ML frameworks. Vulnerabilities in those artefacts or traditional attack vectors
towards their software, firmware and hardware environments (especially, cloud-centric operation) target integrity
of AI/ML functions.

sibility
When blockchain node communications are disrupted or disseminated, it may end up accepting false information
that may result in the confirmation of fake transactions.

mining power, they will be able to manipulate the blockchain.
End-user vulnerabili-
ties
Individuals can lose or misplace their private keys, compromising their blockchain stored assets (e.g., identity theft,
malware, phishing attacks.).
Software Vulnerability When certain DLT projects try to launch half-heartedly tested code on live blockchains, the cyber risks can be
damaging and long-lasting to the decentralized model of many blockchain solutions.

information.
Quantum collision at-
tack
A quantum collision attack occurs when two different inputs of a hash function provide the same output in a
quantum setting.
THz Access control attacks Adversaries break access controls, steal data or user credentials in order to access unauthorized resources or modify
system parameters.
Eavesdropping Although transmissions with high directionality in narrow beams are robust to interception attacks, there is still a
possibility for malicious nodes intercepting the signal
VLC Eavesdropping As vulnerable as RF when nodes are deployed in public areas and/or the presence of large windows in the coverage
areas, and in presence of cooperating eavesdroppers. Also, high throughput indoor VLC systems.
Jamming or data mod-
ification attacks
In VLC or hybrid VLC-RF systems, malicious transmitters can pass undetected. Highly directed transmitter, such
as by using optical beamforming techniques, increases the successful attack probability.
III. POTENTIAL SECURITY SOLUTIONS AND
TECHNOLOGIES
This section discusses the possible security solutions related
to 6G technologies (i.e., current and future work).
A. Distributed and Scalable AI/ML security
6G envisions autonomous networks which will perform
Self-X (self-configuration, self-monitoring, self-healing and
self-optimization) without minimal human involvement [11].
The ongoing specification efforts to integrate AI/ML as a
native element in future networks such as ETSI ZSM ar-
chitecture entailing closed-loop operation and AI/ML tech-
niques with pervasive automation of network management
operations including security are important steps towards that
goal [7]. Since the pervasive use of AI/ML will be realized
in a distributed and large-scale system for various use cases
including network management, distributed AI/ML techniques
are supposed to enforce rapid control and analytics on the
extremely large amount of generated data in 6G networks.
In 6G, AI/ML will be spatially pushed closer to the source
of data-of-interest for ultra-low latency while distributing ML
functions over the network to attain performance gains due to
optimized models and ensemble decision making. However,
overcoming practical constraints of some network elements
(e.g., IoT) such as computational shortcomings and intermit-
tent connectivity is an open challenge [4].
Distributed AI/ML can be used for security for different
phases of cybersecurity protection and defense in 6G. The
utility of AI/ML driven cybersecurity lies on the advantages in
terms of autonomy, higher accuracy and predictive capabilities
for security analytics. Nevertheless, there are also difficult
challenges for the pervasive use of AI/ML from the cybersecu-
rity aspect, either as cybersecurity enabler or a technique that
may lead to security issues under certain circumstances [12]:
- Trustworthiness An eager reliance on AI/ML in future
networks raises an evident question: Are ML components
trustworthy? This is a more important issue when critical
network functions including security are AI-controlled. For
this purpose, trusted computing enablers, formal verification
techniques and integrity checks are important tools.
- Visibility For controllability and accountability, visibility
is crucial. Security experts and monitoring require clear and
intelligible insight into AI based schemes, more than black-
box operation. A research question is how to timely monitor
for security-violating AI incidents.
- AI ethics and liability Once AI/ML is integrated into
6G security, one question becomes fairness and ethical AI:
Does AI based optimization starve some users or applications?
Specifically, for security, the question becomes whether AI
5. driven security solutions protect all users the same. Another
vague point is Who is liable if AI controlled security functions
fail. Liability management is a complicated task with au-
tonomous entities operating in an ICT environment, including
6G security operations.
- Scalability and feasibility For distributed ML setups such
as federated learning, data transmissions should be secured
and preserve privacy. For AI/ML controlled security functions,
scalability is challenging in terms of required computation,
communication and storage resources. For instance, FeMMB
leads to huge data flows. Integrated with AI/ML based security
controls, these flows may cause significant overhead.
- Model and data resilience Models should be secured
and robust in the learning and inference phases (e.g., against
poisoning attacks). Blockchain is a potential remedy for a dis-
tributed, transparent and secure data sharing framework [13].
- Privacy Different ML techniques (e.g., neural networks,
deep learning, supervised learning) can be applied for privacy
protection in terms of data, image, location, and communica-
tion (e.g., Android, intelligent vehicles, IoT).
B. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)
As a DLT, recently Blockchain has gained the highest
attention in the telecommunication industry. The added advan-
tages of DLTs such as disintermediation, immutability, non-
repudiation, proof of provenance, integrity and pseudonymity
are particularly important to enable different services in 6G
networks with trust and security [14]. The use of AI/ML,
and other data analytic technologies, can be a source for
new attack vectors (e.g., poisoning attacks in training phase,
evasion attacks in testing phase) [15]. Since data is the
fuel for AI algorithms, it is crucial to ensure their integrity
and provenance from the trusted sources [16]. DLT has the
potential of protecting the integrity of AI data via immutable
records and distributed trust between different stakeholders,
by enabling the confidence in AI-driven systems in a multi-
tenant/multi-domain environment.
While trust provides the needed confidence for users for
adopting autonomic AI based security management systems
in 6G networks, it may not prevent their breach and failure
in AI based systems. Thus, to prevent the failure of AI
systems, liability and the responsibility should be carefully
addressed. Therefore, trust with liability are complementing
to ensure E2E secured service delivery in 6G networks. DLT
based Smart contracts can be utilized to define Trust Level
Agreement (TLA) [17] and liability of each party or between
components in case of TLA violations.
Furthermore, in order to support the role of DLT/blockchain
to comply with 6G requirements, most of the current 5G
service models need to be significantly evolved. For instance
DLT can be used in secure VNF management, secure slice
brokering, automated Security SLA management, scalable
IoT PKI management, and secure roaming and offloading
handling [14]. Blockchain is also a key candidate for pri-
vacy preservation in content-centric 6G networks. Having a
common communication channel in blockchain may allow
network users to be identified by pseudo names instead of
direct personal identities or location information.
C. Quantum security
Quantum computing is envisioned to use in 6G commu-
nication networks for detection, mitigation and prevention of
security vulnerabilities. Quantum computing assisted commu-
nication is a novel research area that investigates the possi-
bilities of replacing quantum channels with noiseless classical
communication channels to achieve extremely high reliability
in 6G. With the advancements of quantum computing, it is
foreseen that quantum-safe cryptography should be introduced
in the post-quantum world. The discrete logrithmic problem,
which is the basis of current asymmetric cryptography, may
become solvable in polynomial time with the development of
quantum algorithms (e.g., Shor) [18].
Since quantum computing tends to use the quantum nature
of information, it may intrinsically provide absolute random-
ness and security to improve the transmission quality [18].
Integrating post-quantum cryptography schemes with physical
layer security schemes may ensure secure 6G communication
links. Novel research eras may open up by introducing ML-
based cyber-security and quantum encryption in communi-
cation links in 6G networks. Quantum ML algorithms may
enhance security and privacy in communication networks with
the quantum improvements in supervised and unsupervised
learning for clustering and classification tasks. There are
promising 6G applications where there are potentials in ap-
plying quantum security mechanisms. For instance, many 6G
applications such as ocean communication, satellite communi-
cation, terrestrial wireless networks, and THz communications
systems have potentials of using quantum communication
protocols such as quantum key distribution (QKD) [19]. QKD
is applicable in the conventional key distribution schemes
by providing quantum mechanics to establish a secret key
between two legitimate parties.
D. Physical Layer Security (PLS)
Security mechanisms are available at every layer of a
network, and can be used jointly across layers to implement
redundant protection or in a subset of layers for resource-
constrained applications. PLS methods will be leveraged by
6G to provide an adaptive additional layer of protection in the
context of new enabling technologies, as discussed next.
1) TeraHertz (THz) technology: THz communication (1
GHz to 10 THz) is envisioned to be a key technology for
6G. In such frequencies, there exist an increased directionality
of transmitted signals that allows to confine unauthorized
users to be on the same narrow path of the legitimate user
for intercepting signals, thus offering stronger security at the
physical layer. However, the authors in [20] prove that an
eavesdropper can also intercept signals, in line-of-sight (LoS)
transmissions, by placing an object in the path of the transmis-
sion to scatter radiation towards him. A countermeasure for
this eavesdropping technique, which involves characterizing
the backscatter of the channel, was designed in order to
6. detect some, although not all, eavesdroppers. Indeed, THz
communications are prone to access control attacks, malicious
behavior, and data transmission exposure. Then, new PLS
solutions are required for secure THz transmissions, e.g.,
electromagnetic signature of materials and devices at THz
frequencies can be used for authentication methods at the
physical layer [3].
2) Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology: VLC is
an optical wireless technology that has attracted high interest
due to its advantages compared to radio frequency (RF)
systems, such as high data rates, large available spectrum,
robustness against interference, and inherent security. VLC
systems can offer a higher level of security compared to
RF systems due to the fact that light cannot penetrate walls.
However, due to the broadcast nature and LoS propagation
of VLC systems, they are also vulnerable to eavesdropping
from unauthorized nodes located in the coverage area of trans-
mitters. Confidentiality of VLC systems is a crucial issue for
the design of practical VLC systems, where PLS techniques
can provide interesting solutions. For instance, the accurate
localization capabilities of VLC joint with ML techniques can
be used for anomaly detection [21].
3) Molecular communication (MC): In MC, bionanoma-
chines communicate using chemical signals or molecules in
an aqueous environment, thus being a promising technology
for 6G in many healthcare applications. However, MC tackles
highly sensitive information, with several security and privacy
challenges related to the communication, authentication and
encryption process, thus providing secure MC is imperative.
Therefore, the notion of biochemical cryptography was intro-
duced in [22], where a biological macro-molecule composition
and structure could be utilized as a medium to maintain
information integrity. In [23], the primary benefits and limits
of PLS in diffusion-based channels are investigated, where the
secrecy capacity is derived to obtain insights on the number
of secure symbols a diffusion-based channel can afford.
IV. CONCLUSION
This paper summarized the envisioned main requirements,
paradigms, new architectural challenges, new applications, and
enabling technologies that are expected to shape the future
generation of wireless networks, 6G, from the point of view
of the security and privacy challenges. Herein, we provided our
vision on the new threat landscape expected for these networks
as well as the promising security solutions and technologies
that have the potential to evolve to be part of an holistic
solution to protect 6G networks.
