On Destination Anonymity and Trustworthiness in 6G Networks: Can Quantum Entanglement Offer Unexpected Advantages?

Abstract

Evolution towards 6G communication networks aims to support burgeoning alternative technologies in order to overcome traditional classical trade-offs in various aspects of network performance, security, and latency. With this pursuit also striving to meet more nuanced aspects of purported trustwor-thiness standards, the soaring complexity of the next-generation networks is unsurprising; additional classical resources (third-party random number generators, pre-shared keys, etc.) are thus becoming increasingly relied upon for optimal network functioning. In this paper, we explore the potential of quantum technology and how it might be possible to utilize quantum phenomena like quantum entanglement to transfer decisional information in specific network contexts while also inherently providing destination anonymity without requiring additional classical resources.
