"Security Enhancements for 5G Wireless Networks"
by Professor Maode Ma, College of Engineering, Qatar University.
Abstract: Recently, the Fifth Generation (5G) wireless network has become a major carrier for wireless communications that supports the Internet of Everything and large-scale heterogeneous connections. Nowadays, 5G wireless networks have been deployed in many countries in the world, such as Qatar, where 5G commercial services are available to end-users. 5G wireless networks present some promising and advanced features. Since the introduction of new techniques and new features makes 5G wireless networks face several new security challenges, it is critical to design security functionality to protect the operation of 5G wireless networks. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has produced the Technical Specification TS 23.501 R16 to specify various functions of 5G wireless networks with corresponding security mechanisms. Some other pioneering research works have enhanced the security mechanisms specified by the 3GPP. In this talk, Prof. Maode Ma would like to summarize some follow-up research work with the aim of achieving a compromise between the security functionality and the performance of 5G wireless networks. A series of proposed solutions targeted at providing security protection with high efficiency in different kinds of network scenarios will be discussed.
