DDoS risk in 5G enabled iot and solutions

Abstract

Some countries have started deploying 5G networks to meet the demands which include high bandwidth, low latency, high performance and high reliability. At the same time, Internet of Thing (IoT) based applications are increasing day by day. It is evident that 5G would enable more applications in IoT, including connected cars that optimize traffic. When 5G and IoT come together, considering security challenges would be indispensable. The existing researches have discussed various issues in 5G and the security risks associated with IoT. As finding solutions is crucial, the consequences of the most severe cyber-attack called Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoS)demand much attention. Hence, this paper presents a survey of the evolution of 5G, 5G-enabled IoT applications and the magnitude of DDoS attack in such applications. This survey assists in developing secured 5G enabled IoT applications by discussing various solutions to overcome DDoS attacks.
