The article discusses the vital importance of enhancing security in the forthcoming 6G mobile connectivity landscape. As advancements in connectivity, AI, and quantum computing change the threat landscape, there is a critical need for robust security measures to protect digital communications. The vision includes establishing an adaptive trust framework to fortify 6G on the secure base of 5G, ensuring resilience against present and future cyber threats. Continuous enhancements since 3GPP Release 15 illustrate an ongoing commitment to improving connectivity security, highlighting the urgency for the mobile ecosystem to evolve amidst increasing vulnerabilities.
As we look ahead to the next decade of mobile connectivity, now is a good time to consider how security needs could evolve: Advancements in connectivity, compute and AI bring unprecedented opportunities, but they also demand robust security measures to protect our digital future.
We are working to establish a robust trust framework for 6G on top of the existing secure 5G foundation that would facilitate a secure, resilient and adaptable network infrastructure, capable of withstanding modern cyber threats and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of communications.
Since the foundation for secure connectivity was established with 3GPP Release 15, 5G security has been continuously enhanced. Each subsequent release strengthened the security of the connectivity we rely on today.
Now is the time to look closer at securing the future of mobile connectivity, especially as efforts to shape 6G within the 3GPP ecosystem gather momentum.
