Natively Secure 6G IoT Using Intelligent Physical Layer Security

Physical Layer Security (PLS) as a native signaling enhancement to Layer-l security guarantees consumer privacy at the air interface. This paper proposes applying AIIML integration to Radio Access Networks (RAN) for enhanced 6G Internet of Things (loT) security. The paper defines a AIIML based PLS system model that can guarantee security against an eavesdropper. The paper also proposes an operational overview of AIIML integrated PLS with shared key agreement protocol in an O-RAN architecture for 6G IoT, and proposed sApps, that will lead the way of a new paradigm in low latency communication scheme for the consumers. Simulations of Key Bit Error rate (BER) detection in the presence of Rayleigh fading plus noise demonstrate that the AIIML-based PLS model jointly improves security and consumer communication performance.
