Countermeasures against Rogue BS Attacks in 5G Non-public Networks.

Chinese Onsite

Via leasing spectrum and equipments from telecommunication operators, industry could realize 5G non-public network to enable killer applications such as as intelligent factory. However, the popularity of 5G opensource and cheap software define radio (SDR) platform makes implementation threshold of experimental 5G base stations (BSs) much lower. Adversary could easily adopt such BSs to launch malicious attacks against availability, integrity, and privacy of industrial 5G endpoint devices. For example, the industry competitor can carry the portable rogue BSs to launch DoS attacks to nearby industrial IoT devices. In this case, the 5G module on the device is disable and cannot receive commands to operate, whereby causing significantly damage. In this speech, we demonstrate the the mentioned rogue BS attacks. Moreover, we try to deploy sensors in 5G non-public networks and cooperate with mobile edge computing (MEC) to detect the rogue BS attack and mitigate its negative effects.
