AGENDA

13.00 ~  Welcome by Elena Dubrova and György Dán (KTH)

13.05 ~  “5G security standardization in 3GPP”, with Prajwol Kumar Nakarmi (Ericsson)

In this presentation, we will give a sneak peek into how 3GPP (the defacto standardization organization for all Gs) works in general. Then, we will describe the most important security and privacy features that were introduced in 5G, making 5G the most trustworthy mobile network generation ever.  The seminar will be followed by a Q&A and discussion.

14.15 ~  “Industry Security Challenges in Cloud Deployments”, with János Kövér (Ericsson)

A presentation to highlight problems and identify research opportunities.

– Introduction: Threat model in cloud, ideal wanted position
– Solution with TEEs (Trusted Execution Environment) and short-term challenges
– Potential residual threats e.g. side channel attacks, trust in HW vendors

15.55 Wrap up comments by Elena Dubrova and György Dán (KTH)
