Edge AI Empowered Physical Layer Security for 6G NTN: Potential Threats and Future Opportunities

Due to the enormous potential for economic profit offered by artificial
intelligence (AI) servers, the field of cybersecurity has the potential to
emerge as a prominent arena for competition among corporations and governments
on a global scale. One of the prospective applications that stands to gain from
the utilization of AI technology is the advancement in the field of
cybersecurity. To this end, this paper provides an overview of the possible
risks that the physical layer may encounter in the context of 6G
Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). With the objective of showcasing the
effectiveness of cutting-edge AI technologies in bolstering physical layer
security, this study reviews the most foreseeable design strategies associated
with the integration of edge AI in the realm of 6G NTN. The findings of this
paper provide some insights and serve as a foundation for future investigations
aimed at enhancing the physical layer security of edge servers/devices in the
next generation of trustworthy 6G telecommunication networks.
