5G Network Slicing

5G Network Slicing : A Security Overview Abstract: The fifth-generation ( 5G ) of cellular networks is currently under deployment by network operators, and new 5G end-user devices are about to be commercialized by many manufacturers. This is just a first step in the 5G's development, and the true potential of 5G is still far from being reached.

Network slicing will allow exploiting the 5G infrastructure to flexibly and efficiently provide heterogeneous services (e.g., voice communication, video streaming, e-health, vehicular communication).

The author of [20] gives an overview of network slicing and dedicates one section to network slicing security . In [21], the authors give a survey on the security aspects for 3GPP 5G networks and address network slicing security in one section.
This section provides an overview of existing research on 5G network slicing with a particular focus on security and slice isolation. It first introduces the technological and architectural background that underpins network slicing , including virtualization and orchestration mechanisms commonly adopted in both research and experimental settings.

On the industry side, ZTE mostly refers to slice security in terms of end-to-end slice isolation [13], and Huawei gives an overview of 5G security architecture with references to network slices [14].
This article spotlighting the security in 5G network slicing highlights threats and recommendations, which are presented in terms of life-cycle security , intra-slice security , and inter-sliceSecurity, and identifies and discusses open security issues related to network slicing . The fifth-generation ( 5G ) of cellular networks is currently under deployment by network operators, and new 5G end ...

5G Network Slicing
Network slicing will allow exploiting the 5G infrastructure to flexibly and efficiently provide heterogeneous services (e.g., voice communication, video streaming, e-health, vehicular communication). Like every new technology, one of the critical aspects that need to be considered is the security .
This paper explores the security challenges associated with network slicing in 5th Generation ( 5G ) networks , a technology that enables the creation of virtual networks tailored to different use cases. This study contributes to network slicing research efforts by providing a comprehensive classification of attacks aligned with the architectural layers of 5G , complemented by practical mitigation ...

5G Security and Resilience
Developed by the Enduring Security Framework (ESF), a cross-sector, public-private working group, the guidance focuses on addressing some identified threats to 5G standalone network slicing , and provides industry recognized practices for the design, deployment, operation, and maintenance of a hardened 5G standalone network slice (s).






Executive Summary The Enduring Security Framework1 established a working panel comprised of government and industry experts and conducted an in-depth review of the fifth-generation technology for broadband cellular networks standalone network slicing network architecture. This panel assessed the security , risks, benefits, design, deployment, operations, and maintenance of a 5G standalone ...
