Artificial Intelligence and Security in 5g and 6g Mobile Technologies

Abstract

The article examines artificial intelligence and security in 5G and 6G mobile technologies. It is highlighted that 5G uses technologies such as software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud networks that are new to the telecommunications industry. Together, these key technologies help realize a 5G and 6G mobile network capable of providing services that go far beyond high-speed, low-latency broadband anytime, anywhere, but they also lead to more cybersecurity threats than ever before. The features of the security architecture of 6G technology are described in detail, and it is noted that the security architecture of 6G must support the basic concept of zero trust (ZT) security in the mobile communication network to minimize the problem of protecting the network from external attacks due to the increase in IPsec power and firewalls. It is emphasized that users' personal information must be stored and used in accordance with protocols agreed between the service provider, the mobile network operator (MNO), the subscriber and the MNO to ensure their security. It is emphasized that the 6G system must get rid of existing asymmetric key encryption methods, as quantum computers will make them insecure, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions such as lattice-based cryptography, code-based cryptography, multivariate polynomial cryptography, and signature-based hash will form a reliable basis for protection and an appropriate level of security. The security features and security enhancement mechanisms of the future 6G architecture are disclosed. The expected 6G intelligent system is designed for advanced mechanisms and methods of artificial intelligence to support high service requirements, necessary capabilities, and new demands for varieties of use.
