Special Session

• The open integration, heterogeneous coexistence, and intelligent interconnection of 6G wireless networks make physical layer security (PLS) communication an unprecedented significant and challenging issue. 6G is envisioned to realize endogenous PLS communications, which starts from common and inherent security problems of wireless networks and can resist unknown PLS threats and integrate communication/security/services via structure-oriented solutions. In particular, PLS communications, which achieve information secrecy by exploiting intrinsic characteristics of wireless channels, provides an appealing security solution for 6G wireless networks. Besides, covert wireless communications (CWC) emerge as another promising technique to protect wireless privacy by hiding the existence of communication behavior from watchful adversaries. Although PLS communication has drawn significant research interest during the past decade, what role they will play for 6G wireless networks is an open issue. Plenty offurther research efforts are still needed to explore new paradigm and advanced solutions to achieve stronger PLS communications for 6G wireless networks.
  6G无线网络的开放集成、异构共存和智能互联使物理层安全（PLS）通信成为一个前所未有的重大和具有挑战性的问题。6G旨在实现内生PLS通信，该通信从无线网络的常见和固有安全问题开始，可以抵抗未知的PLS威胁，并通过面向结构的解决方案集成通信/安全/服务。特别地，PLS通信通过利用无线信道的内在特性来实现信息保密，为6G无线网络提供了一种有吸引力的安全解决方案。此外，隐蔽无线通信（CWC）成为另一种有前景的技术，通过向警惕的对手隐藏通信行为的存在来保护无线隐私。尽管PLS通信在过去十年中引起了极大的研究兴趣，但它们将在6G无线网络中发挥什么作用仍是一个悬而未决的问题。仍需要大量进一步的研究工作来探索新的范式和先进的解决方案，以实现6G无线网络更强的PLS通信。
