"5G Communications Security"

Keith Gremban, an aerospace research professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, is leading a military-oriented research project aimed at enabling the secure use of 5G networks that could be controlled by an adversary. Gremban has received a $749,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) phase-one grant for his project called GHOST: 5G Hidden Operations through Securing Traffic. The project's goal is to ensure that American soldiers and infrastructure operators can use hostile 5G cellular networks in other countries without those countries gaining valuable operational information. The study will take two paths, with the first looking into ways to mask communications by creating constant background noise on cellular networks. The second track is to send out intentional false flag communications in order to confuse enemies. Gremban has assembled a team of multidisciplinary researchers from industry and academia, including Tamara Lehman, an assistant professor of electrical engineering whose research focuses on computer security from a hardware standpoint. This article continues to discuss the GHOST: 5G Hidden Operations through Securing Traffic NSF-backed project.
