Descripción del proyecto
Componentes de seguridad para redes 5G
A fin de satisfacer las necesidades en rápido aumento de la tecnología y las aplicaciones móviles, que requieren más ancho de banda, la arquitectura de las futuras comunicaciones se construirá sobre redes 5G. El proyecto 5GhOSTS favorecerá la seguridad de las tecnologías de virtualización (componentes para una virtualización ligera y segura y tecnología de orquestación de contenedores para redes 5G) para proteger la infraestructura de comunicación de la Unión Europea (UE) ante un mayor riesgo de amenazas para la seguridad. El proyecto constituirá un grupo de investigación internacional e interdisciplinario que desarrollará componentes de seguridad, como programas de conectividad reutilizables (software que modifica el comportamiento de otro software). En consonancia con la visión de la UE en materia de formación doctoral y ciencia abierta, cuatro investigadores noveles tendrán la oportunidad de desarrollar aptitudes técnicas y transferibles.
Objetivo
5GhOSTS (5th GeneratiOn Security for Telecom Services) will analyze and improve the security of service-based implementations of 5G networks, relevant to protect the EU’s critical communication infrastructure. Based on the upcoming service-based architecture for 5G by the 3GPP, which includes virtualization of network functions, 5GhOSTS aims to strengthen the security of light-weight virtualization. State-of-the-art technologies in this field do not meet the stringent security, privacy and performance requirements of telecommunication systems. 5GhOSTS addresses these challenges by forming an international and interdisciplinary research group that works towards releasing a number of building blocks for secure light-weight virtualization and container orchestration technology for 5G networks. These building blocks will come with a strong, well-understood and formalized notion of security. They will further comply with legal data protection requirements, implementing these requirements in reusable middleware rather than application level.
5GhOSTS fosters standardization in the mobile networks of the future, focusing on security and privacy.
Under the supervision of ICT and law researchers from Ericsson and KU Leuven, 4 ESRs will develop competitive and interdisciplinary profiles. In line with the EU’s vision on doctoral training, open science and sustainable development, 5GhOSTS’ ambitious training network leverages academic excellence and a strong business- and innovation-oriented mindset, to let the ERSs develop technical and transferable skills with a thorough understanding of legal and business aspects. As such, 5GhOSTS address the growing need of the EU economy for young researchers with a strong profile (technical, legal and economic) in the 5G telecommunications domain, increasing the researchers’ international competitiveness.
