6G Security

An authoritative and up-to-date discussion of securing future 6G networks This book delivers a comprehensive, one-stop reference for 6G security, explaining the major technologies and use cases being contemplated for 6G, as well as the security issues relevant to those technologies and application areas. It explores security issues associated with key 6G technologies, including softwarization, disaggregation, slicing, blockchain, federated learning, non-terrestrial networks, and millimeter-wave, as well as major verticals enabled by 6G technology. The book articulates critical technical challenges and opportunities for securing 6G systems, like how to secure autonomous vehicles with machine learning, and covers essential areas of a looming technological revolution that will pose significant security challenges for stakeholders. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to the new frontiers opened up by 6G technology Comprehensive explorations of securing radio access network slicing Practical discussions on how to secure management with blockchain-based federated learning Complete treatments of securing millimeter-wave communications and developing smart microgrids with distributed energy resources Perfect for mobile network professionals and technologists, 6G Security will also benefit service providers, researchers, and students with an interest in communications networks and their security.
