Abstract

With the rapid development and widespread application of artificial intelligence and information technologies, the cyber society has evolved into a new form featuring human-machine integration, mass interaction, and intelligent interconnection. While transforming human life and production, it has also brought security risks such as cyberattacks, privacy breaches, online rumors, and information cocoons, posing serious challenges to social order. Cyber society governance has thus become a key component of national governance modernization. This study proposes the STC governance paradigm from a system security perspective, covering three key dimensions: security (cyber infrastructure security), trustworthiness (credibility of cyber entity identities), and controllability (content governance in cyberspace). It systematically analyzes current governance bottlenecks in terms of governance systems and supporting technologies, and provides corresponding countermeasures. Additionally, through Delphi surveys and expert consultations, the study identifies ten forward-looking technologies—represented by the development of secure and interconnected cybersecurity control chips and systems—and analyzes their technical connotations, development trends, and urgent scientific challenges.
