scope:

This Recommendation provides security guidelines for the development of IMT-2020 communication systems. It identifies all components related to the security of an IMT-2020 communication system, i.e., user equipment, access network and core network. It describes a generic IMT-2020 architecture and its domains. It also identifies threats to and specifies requirements on security capabilities for each component, taking into account unique network features such as multiaccess edge computing, software-defined networking, dynamic network function virtualization and network slicing. This Recommendation is based on the 3GPP 5G security architecture.
