Summary

Connected Internet of things (IoT) devices and mobile applications require wireless network access that is resilient, secure and able to protect individuals' privacy. IMT-2020 communication systems should be designed to meet these high-level requirements. There is a need to define a security framework for IMT-2020 communication systems which could act as a foundation for developing further detailed technical Recommendations on IMT-2020 security topics.

Recommendation ITU-T X.1814 identifies all components related to the security of IMT-2020 communication systems and defines security guidelines for the IMT-2020 communication system. It describes a generic IMT-2020 architecture and its domains. It also identifies threats to and specifies requirements for security capabilities for each component, taking into account unique network features. This Recommendation is based on the 3GPP 5G security architecture.
