Security Threat Analysis of the 5G ESSENCE Platform

Abstract

The present paper discusses several security requirements coming from assessment of the use cases developed within the context of the original 5G-PPP “5G ESSENCE” project. Following to a concrete introduction to the project’s main innovative features and the description of all selected use cases coming directly from the vertical markets, we have separately assessed each one among them towards identifying security threats affecting the development of associated virtualised services within the broader 5G scope. Once our analysis has been performed, we propose options for potential service implementation, to ensure specific security requests.
