Reinforcing 6G Network Security by Combining Aes and Polar Codes at the Physical Layer

This paper presents the deployment of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and polar channel coding in 6 G wireless communication networks for Physical Layer Security (PLS). In reality, we call for attention to this growing demand for enhanced security in 6 G networks as applications such as autonomous cyber-physical systems, ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC) begin to surface. Polar codes are widely used in 5G and are expected to be very important in 6G. This paper evaluates the ability of polar codes to achieve capacity and their flexibility in wiretap channels. Polar codes offer a strong foundation for protecting the physical layer from prying eyes and other security risks when combined with AES. Besides this analysis of potential benefits these security mechanisms offer toward improving data confidentiality and integrity in future networks, the work outlines some technical problems associated with practical implementation in real-world 6 G systems. This paper articulates design considerations through a comprehensive analysis of the integration of AES with polar coding to meet the stringent security and performance criteria of 6 G communications.
