Abstract

This document provides an overview of 5G network security, describing various components of the 5G core network architecture and what kind of security services are offered by these 5G components. It also explores the potential security risks and vulnerabilities presented by the security architecture in 5G and recommends some of the best practices for the 5G network admins to consider while deploying a secure 5G network, based on the surveyed documents from the European government's efforts in commercializing the IoT devices and securing supply chain over 5G networks.
