Course Details

Standalone 5G poses new challenges for the mobile service provider, with a wide array of new technologies and techniques being introduced into the network architecture, all of which must be secure. This course takes an end to end view of 5G security, first of all determining what assets are applicable to the 5G architecture and which threats are relevant. The course then moves on to examine the security techniques being relied upon to provide end to end security, before concluding with a detailed analysis of 5G Authentication and Key Agreement.
