Abstract
Wireless communication is one of the very successful technologies that have found
applications in our daily lives. It has drawn the attention of researchers, standard
bodies, and organizations who have continuously proposed and developed different
standards and regulations to further advance the communication system. However,
one of the major issues and concerns that have been raised in wireless communication
is security with its legal frameworks. Security as well as privacy are very
crucial schemes in wireless communication because of the transmission of signals
over unprotected media, thus exposing signals to security and privacy attacks such
as eavesdropping, modification, and data theft, among others. Depending on the
type of data being transmitted, security and privacy and the legal frameworks
become even more critical, especially with the adoption of new technology such as
cloud computing in the healthcare and other sectors. While framework is a structure
that combines, in the form of a single hybrid conceptual solution, different but
relevant areas together, the legal frameworks are simply a set of standards which
can be utilized to deal with a challenge or to decide what to do. Some legal frameworks
have been developed, over the years, particularly in the area of healthcare,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). However, there are
no sufficient legal frameworks for the security and privacy of wireless network,
particularly for the envisioned 6G network. Thus, this chapter presents the fundamental
factors of legal frameworks for the security and privacy in a wireless
communication network with a focus on the 6G network.
