5G Security Essentials
Course Overview
This course will discuss 5G security in three key areas from a high-level perspective. First, an overview of the 5G architecture, 5G use cases, and the threats that 5G technologies pose will be covered. Next, participants will be guided through the 5G security framework which supports different devices and implementations. Lastly, security features of 3GPP related to the 5G security framework and the security mechanisms related to 5G transport will be discussed.
As this is a one-day course, the 5G mechanisms and algorithms will be simplified to allow participants to focus clearly on the important areas of 5G security. More specifically, they will learn how 5G improves security in data storage and data transmission.
