The article explores the concept of the Tactile Internet, a paradigm set to revolutionize society by enabling skill-set delivery and haptic communication over ultra-reliable, low-latency networks. This is expected to be underpinned by 6G mobile communication systems. However, there are security and privacy challenges to be addressed. The authors propose the QUIC protocol, characterized by end-to-end encryption and reduced round-trip delay, as a possible solution. They envision a futuristic scenario where a QUIC-enabled network uses 6G communication infrastructure to meet the requirements for Tactile Internet. The article reviews existing security and privacy attacks in QUIC and discusses attack mitigation strategies, highlighting areas for future research.
