Starting with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies, network slicing is emerging as a critical technology in 5G-Advanced and 6G mobile communications to allocate logical networks end-to-end, meeting diverse service requirements.

摘要

Starting with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technologies, network slicing is emerging as a critical technology in 5G-Advanced and 6G mobile communications to allocate logical networks end-to-end, meeting diverse service requirements. However, the advent of network slicing introduces new security threats, including inter-slice security, intra-slice security, and lifecycle security of network slicing. While recent research has focused on security orchestration technologies using SDN/NFV for network slicing and AI-based attack detection, there remains a gap in research on security by design within the components of 3GPP 5G systems. Therefore, this paper investigates security by design in the 5G-Advanced and 6G architectures. To address these issues, we propose a malicious User Equipment (UE) detection function to identify attacks within the network-slicing environment. We illustrate the interaction between the detection function and other 3GPP 5G system components for network slicing security with its algorithm for detecting malicious UEs in network slices.
