5G Subscriber Privacy and Authentication HSM Protection - Solution Brief

The introduction of 5G presents Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) with the need to provide wider bandwidth, higher capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, more reliability and lower latency. Furthermore, the complexity of the infrastructure; the distributed nature of the 5G networks; the astounding number of devices including the growth in the Internet of Things (IoT) add to this complexity. And if that isn’t enough, the use of open source platforms and multi-vendor networks; cloud; and the evolution from 3G and 4G networks all present challenges to ensuring the protection and authenticity of subscriber authentication and privacy.
