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. A trust security model can fill the gaps that the current security model lacks is needed.
Quantum cryptography alone cannot solve potential cyberattacks by quantum computers due to the above-mentioned issues. Integrated security model of QKDN, UNemc and trust enabled service provisioning is essential to protect IMT-2020, IMT-2030, and cloud networks and computing environment from advanced future cyberattacks. The trust security model of integrated QKDN, 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 Technical Report recommends the standardization implications for the integration of QKDN, UNemc, and trust enabled service provisioning for quantum safe security of future networks including IMT-2020 and IMT-2030 networks.
