Abstract

The evolution of 1G to 4G brought significant changes to telecommunication networks but 5G and 6G are not just another generational upgrade. 5G supports real time applications through Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication, Faster data speeds to enhance Mobile Broadband and Massive Machine Type Communications for connecting numerous devices and, The 6G is expected to support a wider range of applications and services compared to 5G with improved mobility, reliability and autonomous network service it making society more sustainable and energy efficient. Securing these heterogeneous networks is crucial. It requires advanced authentication, authorization and access control methods with enhanced Physical Layer Security, and improved Cyber Physical Systems, Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems to facilitate secure communication. This research investigates practical demonstrations of security and privacy challenges in 5G and 6G core networks and their connected environments. The study leverages tools such as the NS3 network simulator, Open5GS, QKDNetSim, MATLAB and a proposed Quantum blockchain-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) framework is designed to preventing adversarial machine learning attacks on network IDS while significantly reducing model training time and improve the model for detect real-time attack detection in the NR (New Radio) Network.
