Topic of Discussion:5G Cybersecurity
NIST is taking an applied and collaborative approach to 5g cybersecurity guidance, by collaborating with industry partners to provide cybersecurity guidance that will help consumers and operators of 5G networks to adopt, deploy and use these systems in a more secure and privacy-enhancing way. One of the primary focuses of our research is to introduce hardware based security protections for a 5G core network. This is possible because for the first time in mobile network design, 5G standards introduced the notion of a Service Based Architecture (SBA). The new design changes the way new services are created and how these telco systems operate. The standards designed 5G to operate as a modern cloud or internet application where the 5G components or ‘Network Functions’ (NFs), that handle everything from authentication to billing run as complex cloud native applications. The shift to cloud infrastructure enables 5g core networks to leverage cots hardware, firmware and software platforms and make it possible to introduce more robust cybersecurity protections. We will share what we have implemented to date, the risks these solutions address, and future use cases that can leverage these capabilities.
