International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2020 –

)
August 25 – August 28, 2020
With the great success and development of 4G mobile networks it is expected that the 5th generation wireless systems (in short 5G) will be a continued effort toward rich ubiquitous communication infrastructure, promising wide range of high-quality services. It is envisioned that 5G communication will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and almost infinite capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user experiences for, among others: virtual/augmented reality, massive content streaming, telepresence, user-centric computing, crowded area services, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings, smart cities.
The 5G communication is currently in the center of attention of industry, academia, and government worldwide. 5G drives many new requirements for different network capabilities. As 5G aims at utilizing many promising network technologies, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Information Centric Network (ICN), Network Slicing, Cloud Computing, etc. and supporting a huge number of connected devices integrating above mentioned advanced technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous challenges for security, privacy and trust. Therefore, secure network architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis for 5G to address these issues and follow security-by-design approaches. Finally, since in 5G networks even more user data and network traffic will be transmitted, big data security solutions should be considered in order to address the magnitude of the data volume and ensure data security and privacy.
From this perspective, the 5G-NS 2020 workshop aims at collecting the most relevant ongoing research efforts in 5G networks security field. It also serves as a forum for 5G-PPP Phase 1 & Phase 2 projects in order to disseminate their security-related results and tighten & boost cooperation, and foster development of the 5G Security Community made of 5G security experts and practitioners who pro-actively discuss and share information to collectively progress and align on the field.

Workshop 5G-NS
Abstract:
The development of the 5G network is associated with innovative technical elements. Its functions are quite different from those known from the 4G network and include advanced mechanisms at both radio and core. Some of the new functionalities are specially susceptible to security threats. A good example is network slicing, which is based on virtualization and third party management. The analysis of the new functionalities from the point of view of security challenges, is crucial to understand how much secure the network is. In this context, the issue of how 5G hardware and software providers have responded to the challenge of ensuring security and how other network users (including public authorities) can address this challenge by providing risk assessment plans is becoming increasingly important.
