6G-Blockchain: Open Issues and Directions
The application of Blockchain technologies to real time communications networks has created many new challenges and opportunities. One of the objectives for 6G wireless is to create a real-time and massive Blockchain system as a foundational platform for the trustworthiness of network operations, hence, the 6G-Blockchain will be the basis for the traceable PoW (proof-of-work) mechanism to ensure the trust, such that every real-time data session, and every real-time signaling operation will be recorded on the public ledger, such as permission based hyper-ledger. In this talk, firstly we discuss the challenges of 6G-Blockchain to connect trillions of the IoT devices with good faith of security, integrity and privacy; secondly, we discuss the fundamental real-time challenges for the 6G-Blockchain with respect to the its latency, its throughput and its scalability; thirdly, we propose a comprehensive zero-knowledge verification system, a.k.a. zk-Faric system, for providing a real-time privacy preserving framework to improve the usability and scalability of the 6G-Blockchain; Lastly , we propose a computational trust-metric model as the consensus mechanism for the 6G-Blockchain.
