This white paper describes enabling Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) protection, an optional 5G capability which provides important security and privacy protections for subscriber identifiers. 5G network operators are encouraged to enable SUCI on
This white paper is part of a series called Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities, which covers 5G cybersecurity- and privacy-supporting capabilities that were implemented as part of the 5G Cybersecurity project at the National Cybersecurity
This white paper provides an overview of employing hardware-enabled [1] security capabilities to provision, measure, attest to, and enforce the integrity of the compute platform to foster trust in a 5G system's server infrastructure. It discusses security
We compare the outputs of two Satellite Time and Location (STL) low Earth orbit (LEO) receivers in common-view with a very long baseline. By comparing the STL pulse per second (PPS) output to national laboratory timescales at distant locations, we can
We present the timing accuracy improvement from ionospheric corrections on Iridium PNT receivers by validating the timing service (STL Time ) against UTC(NIST), the timing reference at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder

We describe the system-level calibration of a vector signal analyzer operating in the 28 GHz frequency band, including the determination of uncertainties in the magnitude and phase of measurements of a traceably characterized calibration waveform. We then
This work provides recommendations for best practices that enable simplified, cost-effective interference testing that incorporates relevant aspects of realistic cellular emissions. Experimental impacts from three broad classes of interference waveforms
Counterfeit semiconductor devices are a major economic and security threat that can cause losses in multiple economic sectors. This problem's impact on national security is serious and growing because every part of the country, such as the military
The objective of this paper is to study the radar imaging of a commercial drone (DJI Phantom III) in an artificial urban environment. A 10-GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system with a 1.5-GHz bandwidth

Clustering radio-frequency (RF) multipath components (MPCs) fosters compact channel models by capturing the geometry of the scattering environment, yet "blind" methods based solely on RF data struggle to associate MPCs with individual scatterers. We
Industrial wireless channels differ significantly from home and office channels due to factors like larger distances, existence of heavy machinery, and composition of surroundings. Industrial environments can vary significantly in their physical
