Jamming Attacks on the Random Access Channel in 5G and B5G Networks

Random Access Channel RACH jamming poses a critical security threat to 5G and beyond B5G networks. This paper presents an analytical model for predicting the impact of Msg1 jamming attacks on RACH performance. We use the OpenAirInterface OAI open-source user equipment UE to implement a Msg1 jammi...

Slice-Aware Spoofing Detection in 5G Networks Using Lightweight Machine Learning

The increasing virtualization of fifth generation 5G networks expands the attack surface of the user plane, making spoofing a persistent threat to slice integrity and service reliability. This study presents a slice-aware lightweight machine-learning framework for detecting spoofing attacks withi...

Poster: Towards an Automated Security Testing Framework for Industrial UEs

With the ongoing adoption of 5G for communication in industrial systems and critical infrastructure, the security of industrial UEs such as 5G-enabled industrial robots becomes an increasingly important topic. Most notably, to meet the stringent security requirements of industrial deployments,...

Assessing the Latency of Network Layer Security in 5G Networks

In contrast to its predecessors, 5G supports a wide range of commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure scenarios. One key feature of 5G, ultra-reliable low latency communication, is particularly appealing to such scenarios for its real-time capabilities. However, 5G's enhanced security,...

New LTE Network Flaw Could Let Attackers Impersonate 4G Mobile Users

A group of academics from Ruhr University Bochum and New York University Abu Dhabi have uncovered security flaws in 4G LTE and 5G networks that could potentially allow hackers to impersonate users on the network and even sign up for paid subscriptions on their behalf. The impersonation attack —...
