Research on a DSTM-based trusted mesh security mechanism for 6G distributed autonomous networks
随着6G网络架构向分布式自治范式演进,传统集中式安全机制面临边界消失、身份易伪造和数据泄露等关键挑战。对此,提出分布式安全可信网格(distributed secure and trustworthy mesh,DSTM)系统。该系统通过构建逻辑安全边界,并实施动态安全策略,实现了分布式子网间的多层次身份认证、端到端安全连接、安全隔离与安全策略的动态执行。DSTM系统可与6G分布式网络架构深度融合,为未来6G网络安全体系设计提供重要参考。
Abstract
With the evolution of 6G network architecture toward a distributed autonomous paradigm
traditional centralized security mechanisms face significant challenges
such as boundary dissolution
susceptibility to identity forgery and data leakage. In response
a distributed secure and trustworthy mesh (DSTM) system was proposed. By constructing logical security boundaries and implementing dynamic security policies
the DSTM enables multi-level identity authentication
end-to-end secure connectivity
security isolation
and dynamic enforcement of security policies among distributed subnets. The DSTM can be deeply integrated with the 6G distributed architecture
providing valuable insights for the design of future 6G network security systems.
