Abstract
Wireless communication is one of the most successful technologies that have found
application in various sectors of our daily lives. However, one of the major issues and
challenges of wireless communication is security. To provide a holistic view of this
crucial issue, this chapter presents a historical description of the evolution of the
cellular network and provides a general overview of different attacks and vulnerabilities
in the wireless network based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI)
layered protocol architecture. The chapter further presents a brief review of the
security and privacy issues for each cellular generation. The various emerging wireless
communication systems as well as the application of artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine learning (ML) to wireless security system design. The security issues
and challenges in the key technology of 6G wireless network were identified and
discussed. Finally, open research issues have been identified and discussed, giving a
path for further research direction for security in 5G wireless networks and beyond.
