Abstract

Interfaces play a crucial role in the Fifth Generation (5G) architecture as they interconnect Network Functions (NFs) to exchange data and services. Certain interfaces are particularly critical because they are involved in the exchange of sensitive data or are exposed externally. To the best of our knowledge, no literature work analyzes the 5G security from a network architecture or interface perspective. Therefore, existing research on 5G security may not be helpful when considering a certain component of the network or a specific interface. This paper reviews the security measures recommended by the selected Standardization Development Organizations (SDOs) for critical interfaces and classifies them based on security goals. It also identifies vulnerabilities and threats to these interfaces in the absence of security measures and categorizes them based on STRIDE model and impacted traffic types.

关键 5G 接口的安全分析

接口在第五代（5G）架构中发挥着至关重要的作用，因为它们将网络功能（NF）互连起来，以交换数据和服务。某些接口尤为重要，因为它们涉及敏感数据的交换或暴露于外部。据我们所知，还没有文献从网络架构或接口的角度分析 5G 安全性。因此，现有的 5G 安全研究在考虑网络的某个组件或特定接口时可能没有帮助。本文回顾了选定的标准化发展组织（SDO）针对关键接口推荐的安全措施，并根据安全目标对其进行了分类。本文还确定了在没有安全措施的情况下这些接口的漏洞和威胁，并根据 STRIDE 模型和受影响的流量类型对其进行了分类。

期刊介绍： IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues. A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
