When 5G Standalone networks become operational, service providers will be required to adopt new mechanisms for security in 5G, namely 5G Authentication and Key Agreement and SBI (Service Based Interface) security. Grounded in LTE based techniques, 5G AKA introduces enhancements to protect against fraudulent activity, particularly with respect to key usage and subscriber authentication. For the 5G Service Based Architecture, SBIs are protected using a combination of TLS and OAuth 2.0.This course seeks to explore each of these areas by initially evaluating the end to end 5G System, in terms of architecture and overall operation, with emphasis on security roles. 5G AKA will then be explored in detail, including signalling flows and API exchange, before concluding with a breakdown of SBI security.

Completion Time:

The estimated completion time for this course is six hours. The maximum allotted time is six months from enrollment.
