Abstract
The deep integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and network function virtualization (NFV) is empowering 6G networks to move towards ubiquitous intelligence. Many AI services are being decomposed into multiple small, independently operating virtualized network functions (VNFs) for deployment. These VNFs communicate and collaborate over the network, forming service chains to provide customized services to users.
However, under highly dynamic and decoupled service chain architectures, traditional security protection models face increasing risks of failure, while the causes of various anomalies become complex and difficult to identify and mitigate. The trustworthiness of service chains has thus emerged as a fundamental challenge for safety-critical systems such as autonomous driving.
This track aims to build a trusted service chain governance framework for 6G networks that enhances service chain trustworthiness while preserving flexibility and efficiency. By achieving a systematic transition from “component-level security” to “end-to-end link trustworthiness,” this track brings together experts from academia and industry to explore governance architectures, intelligent orchestration, trust management, and adaptive defense mechanisms. The ultimate goal is to provide theoretical foundations and technical pathways for building intelligent, resilient, secure, and trustworthy next-generation network infrastructures.
