Open for Public Comment: Using Hardware-Enabled Security to Ensure 5G System Platform Integrity Now Available

Comment On Our Latest 5G Cybersecurity White Paper 

5G technology for broadband cellular networks will significantly improve how humans and machines communicate, operate, and interact in the physical and virtual world. 5G provides increased bandwidth and capacity, and low latency. However, professionals in fields like technology, cybersecurity, and privacy are faced with safeguarding this technology while its development, deployment, and usage are still evolving.

To help, the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has launched the Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities white paper series. The series targets technology, cybersecurity, and privacy program managers within commercial mobile network operators, potential private 5G network operators, and organizations using and managing 5G-enabled technology who are concerned with how to identify, understand, assess, and mitigate risk for 5G networks. In the series, we provide recommended practices and illustrate how to implement them. All of the capabilities featured in the white papers have been demonstrated on the NCCoE testbed on commercial-grade 5G equipment.

We are pleased to announce the availability of the third white paper in the series:

Using Hardware-Enabled Security to Ensure 5G System Platform IntegrityThis publication provides an overview of employing hardware-enabled security capabilities to provision, measure, attest to, and enforce the integrity of the compute platform to foster trust in a 5G system’s server infrastructure.

Feedback Wanted

We welcome your input and look forward to your comments by October 30, 2024. We invite you to join the 5G Community of Interest (COI) and we’ll notify you when a paper in the series is being released.
