Room EV001.162

Abstract

Standardization of the first phase of the next generation of cellular networks has concluded now, and 5G networks are being rolled out. This talk will focus on the standardized security of 3GPP 5G networks. It will give an understanding of how standardization works, what was standardized for security and try to shed some light to why some things are the way they are.
