Summary:
|
Coordination of Networking and Computing (CNC) in IMT-2020 networks and beyond is a core technology for integrating multi-level computing power, networking, and storage resources to support the digital economy. It enables optimal resource allocation for vertical industries such as industrial internet, internet of vehicles, and smart healthcare—fields that rely on the ubiquitous connection and intelligent scheduling of cloud-edge-terminal resources.
However, CNC’s multi-layer architecture and distributed resource characteristics introduce unique security risks throughout resource layer, control layer, management and orchestration layer, and operation and service layer. Additionally, data security risks permeate all layers, threatening service availability and data integrity.
This Recommendation systematically addresses these challenges by: 1) Analyzing security threats and vulnerabilities across CNC’s four core layers and data security throughout the lifecycle; 2) Defining security requirements aligned with ITU-T Y.3400 (CNC requirements) and Y.3401 (CNC capability framework); 3) Providing targeted security guidelines, including the infrastructure layer, the control layer, the management layer, the service layer and the data layer. By complementing existing standards that lack CNC-specific security guidance.
This document aims to ensure the secure deployment of CNC in IMT-2020 networks and beyond, safeguard the stability of digital economy applications.
