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.
