Intelligent Zero Trust Architecture for 5G/6G Networks: Principles, Challenges, and the Role of Machine Learning in the context of O-RAN. (arXiv:2105.01478v3 [cs.NI] UPDATED)

In this position paper, we discuss the critical need for integrating zero
trust (ZT) principles into next-generation communication networks (5G/6G). We
highlight the challenges and introduce the concept of an intelligent zero trust
architecture (i-ZTA) as a security framework in 5G/6G networks with untrusted
components. While network virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN),
and service-based architectures (SBA) are key enablers of 5G networks,
operating in an untrusted environment has also become a key feature of the
networks. Further, seamless connectivity to a …
