Solving Security Standards for the 5G Telecom Edge

Opening up Telecom last mile 5G site (“Transport risk”) to many Infrastructure players(“Public ,Silo, Open”) consumed by many developers (“some hackers also” ) with in a rugged Environment approaching freezing cold in blue mountains (“Hardware standards Risk”) is too risky an endeavor and something with zero trust on security which no Telco wished to consider a decade ago .

This will become more exciting as we move from #staticedge to #movingEdge ( Tractors for Agri and Autonomous cars V2X is that dimension)
Further proliferation of many and evolving use cases in verticals poses varying #security challenges further complicated by fact that no standards explains TSR requirements in detail for the Edge 

As per recent study by ETSI and supported by #Cyber#GSMA and #IEC a #Telco carrier grade Telecom Edge must solve following Edge Security challenges with proven roadmaps to be Deployment ready specially considering futuristic #5G deployments

Challenges
1. TSR and Govt security standards need global harmony e.g EUCSA , German C5 and NIS ,EAL5 etc
2. Traditional Telecom encryption like 3GPP SA3 snow5 256bits is challenged by rise of quantum processors
3. Confidential computing solutions provided by different vendors has no harmony e.g Cisco is too different than Juniper
4. Platform attestation only protect central cloud need topology attestation for Edge Clouds 
5 whole system” security monitoring and management framework.
6 LI architecture and data protection 
7. Security Assurance systems with data protections using OATH2.0 , JWT etc 

Solutions going forward:
1. Use of AI like Intel bfloat16 for running AI for security to build accurate AI/ML models that reflect a wider dataset while retaining the privacy and locality of 
private and sensitive data
2. GPU Processing with use of RIC for possible security management and control via 3rd party security X-Apps
3. Use of Ledger in both Hardware and Cloud is the future
4 .LI ETSI GR NFV-SEC 011 and retained data protection ETSI GS NFV-SEC 010
5. Security Assurance systems ETSI SEC 021-027 to prohibit single point of entry
