Digital Sovereignty in 6G
National Security and Open Interoperable Telecom Supply Chain Framework
Policy and technical standard ensuring critical telecommunications infrastructure is immune to foreign backdoors, single-vendor lock-in, and espionage.
Technical Explanation
Because 6G underpins national water, power, military, and financial infrastructure, reliance on opaque closed proprietary vendor equipment presents severe national security risks. Digital Sovereignty in 6G enforces Open RAN architectural principles, open standardized APIs, reproducible open-source software verification, hardware root-of-trust silicon attestation, and post-quantum cryptographic independence.
Key Functions
- Eliminates single-vendor monopolistic lock-in through standardized Open Interfaces
- Guarantees hardware silicon root-of-trust attestation against supply chain tampering
- Secures critical national infrastructure networks against state-sponsored espionage
- Mandates transparent, auditable cryptographic algorithms and key management
