Abstract

This document introduces the white paper series titled Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities. This series is being published by the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) 5G Cybersecurity project. Each paper in the series will include information, guidance, and research findings for an individual technical cybersecurity- or privacy-supporting capability available in 5G systems or their supporting infrastructures. Each of the capabilities has been implemented in a testbed as part of the NCCoE project, and each white paper reflects the results of that implementation and its testing.
