Summary:
|
The current security model is based on security boundary protection which trusts internal users in the boundary. It can be venerable when internal user’s account is compromised or VPN is attacked. Also cyber-attacks are increasing and their attack methods are also advancing including supply chain attack. Also, as cloud environment are expanding and remote work become routine, on-premise security policy alone cannot protect. We need a trust security model can fill the gaps that the current security model lacks.
Quantum cryptography alone cannot solve potential cyberattacks by quantum computers due to the above-mentioned issues. Integrated security model of QKD, UNemc, and trust enabled service provisioning is essential to protect 5G, 6G, and cloud networks and computing environment from advanced future cyberattacks. The trust security model of integrated QKD, UNemc, and trust enabled service provisioning can become a core security model due to the following: (1) internal and external threat protection by entire access request authentication, (2) overcoming current perimeter protection limitation, (3) enhancement of quantum security model enabled by AI based anomaly detection.
This draft technical report presents the standardization consideration of application of the integrated QKDN and UNemc into trust enabled service provisining for quantum safe security of future networks including 5GA and 6G networks.
