"5G Cellular Security Research"

A team of researchers from the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder is leading a project for 5G wireless security. The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Convergence Accelerator program awarded CU Boulder $5 million for the "GHOST: 5G Hidden Operations through Securing Traffic" project. The work aims to ensure American soldiers, businesses, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can use 5G cellular networks in foreign countries without untrusted or potentially malicious network operators being able to extract user information. Although 5G signals are encrypted, preventing malicious operators from eavesdropping on conversations, it is still possible to extract information from transmissions. According to Keith Gremban, the project's principal investigator and a research professor of aerospace engineering sciences, accessible information includes the user's online activities, physical location, as well as individual and organizational usage patterns. This article continues to discuss the "GHOST: 5G Hidden Operations through Securing Traffic" project.
