The open integration and intelligent interconnection of 6G wireless communication systems make information security an unprecedented significant and challenging issue. 6G is envisioned to realize endogenous security, which starts from common and inherent security problems of wireless communication systems and can resist unknown wireless security threats and integrate communication/security/services via structure-oriented solutions. Although appealing wireless communication security technologies, such as information-theoretical security, have drawn significant research interest during the past decade, what role they will play for 6G is still an open issue. Plenty of further research efforts are needed to explore new paradigm and advanced solutions to achieve stronger security for 6G. This special session aims to bring together novel contributions to explore the opportunities, challenges, and solutions related to wireless communication systems security for 6G.
6G无线通信系统的开放融合与智能互联，使得信息安全成为一个前所未有的重要且具有挑战性的问题。6G有望实现内生安全，从无线通信系统常见的固有安全问题出发，抵御未知的无线安全威胁，并通过结构化解决方案实现通信、安全和服务深度融合。尽管在过去十年中，信息论安全等富有吸引力的无线通信安全技术得到广泛关注和研究，但它们在6G中会发挥怎样的作用仍然是一个开放问题。我们需要开展大量深入的研究工作，探索新的范式和先进的解决方案，以实现6G更强的安全性。本次专题论坛旨在汇集新颖的研究成果，探索与6G无线通信系统安全相关的机遇、挑战和解决方案。
