“…EdgeAI, thus, play a very important role in providing opportunity for redundant resources and distributing important network control functions. The concept of devolving control functions with the help of miniaturizing edge to the extreme edge, as discussed in [38], can improve safety in terms of minimizing the impact of failures and delimiting the consequences. The same is true for communications links, using multiple access technologies to avoid blackout due to failure in one.…”

“…Moreover, VLC faces threats coming from attackers that are capable of positioning themselves within lineof-sight of the target. Physical security is also important as the nodes of a highly distributed network can be easily targeted by malicious users and damaged as part of a cyberattack [38]. EdgeAI can help provide timely monitoring and response procedures, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), deployed in the vicinity where the threat originates [19].…”

<p>6G communication networks must be highly dependable due to the huge number applications, services, and public infrastructures that will be dependant on it. However, the integration of vast number of technologies, ranging from physical layer up to the application layer, and diverse services ranging from entertainment to mission critical public services need investigation of the infrastructure from dependability point of view. We take four dependability concepts such as reliability, availability, safety and security, and discuss the dependability of 6G networks. Since intelligence and distribution of control functions and elements make the core of future networks, specific diligence is given federated learning and edge intelligence. This article, in summary, provides interesting insights into existing challenges and advocates future research through highlighting the most important research directions to make 6G dependable.</p>

“…Task offloading is the primary technology used in MEC and Fog for such kind of NIDS design to secure the IoT system from cyber attacks. Task offloading is employed as a mechanism to reduce energy consumption, latency, and the resource-constraints problems in IoT system [ 112 , 113 , 114 ]. Hence, the proximity of the IoT system from the MEC server during NIDS task offloading is significant.…”

The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications has imposed a dramatic increase of network data and placed a high computation complexity across various connected devices. The IoT devices capture valuable information, which allows the industries or individual users to make critical live dependent decisions. Most of these IoT devices have resource constraints such as low CPU, limited memory, and low energy storage. Hence, these devices are vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to the lack of capacity to run existing general-purpose security software. It creates an inherent risk in IoT networks. The multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform has emerged to mitigate these constraints by relocating complex computing tasks from the IoT devices to the edge. Most of the existing related works are focusing on finding the optimized security solutions to protect the IoT devices. We believe distributed solutions leveraging MEC should draw more attention. This paper presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) and security practices for IoT networks. We have analyzed the approaches based on MEC platforms and utilizing machine learning (ML) techniques. The paper also performs a comparative analysis on the public available datasets, evaluation metrics, and deployment strategies employed in the NIDS design. Finally, we propose an NIDS framework for IoT networks leveraging MEC.

<p>The integration of satellite and terrestrial networks have become inevitable in the next generations of communications networks due to emerging needs of ubiquitous connectivity of remote locations. New and existing services and critical infrastructures in remote locations in sea, land and space will be seamlessly connected through a diverse set of terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication technologies. However, the integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial systems will open both systems to unique security challenges that can arise due to the migration of security challenges from one to another. Similarly, security challenges can also arise due to the incompatibility of distinct systems or incoherence of security policies. The resulting security implications, thus, can be highly consequential due to the criticality of the infrastructures such as space stations, autonomous ships, and aeroplanes, for instance. Therefore, in this article we study existing security challenges in satellite-terrestrial communication systems and discuss potential solutions for those challenges. Furthermore, we provide important research directions to stir future research on existing security gaps in this direction.</p>
