“…All modules use dedicated interfaces to exchange relevant information for the proper functioning of the blockgraph system. The role of the blockgraph in our 6G architecture could be two folds: (i) as a means to securing future 6G communication as exposed in [11] and (ii) as a verifiable data registry for entity identity authentication. In the latter, the blockgraph will be distributed among multiple trusted zones as shown in figure 2, and each trusted zone will have multiple instances of the blockgraph, where identity identifier information (i.e., DIDs) from all trusted zones are stored.…”

“…It is at the origin of Bitcoin [7] and is the underlayer technology for multiple services and applications [8]. Blockchain technology could easily be compatible with future 6G architecture [9], [10], not only for securing future 6G communication [11] but also to enable Web3 features and zero-knowledge inter-6G authentication. However, since our 6G nodes are mobile, a traditional blockchain cannot cope with network partitions due to the way it handles forks.…”

One of the most important paradigm shifts nowadays regarding future 6G communication is related, from one side to the desire of bringing services and data as close as possible to the end users, and from another side, to empower the user with control over their data and personal information. In this vision, private 6G networks will shape trusted zones where data center services are placed at the edge of the network. The services will follow a Web3 approach, where decentralization and zerotrust mechanisms are predominant. In this environment, a decentralized authentication mechanism is needed. In this paper, we propose a 6G architecture and a blockchain-like authentication scheme based on Verifiable Credentials. Our model uses zerotrust technology for a better and more trusted Internet.
