5G Network Security Issues, Challenges, Opportunities and Future Directions: A Survey

5G Network Security Issues, Challenges, Opportunities and Future Directions: A Survey Mamoona Humayun Bushra Hamid NZ Jhanjhi G. Suseendran M N Talib Abstract
5G is expected to bring tremendous advancement in wireless cellular network by providing faster speed, high capacity and low latency. It has widely been adopted in various parts of the world and is expected to bring a noteworthy revolution in major industries and overall economies. Although 5G service providers are promising integrity, confidentiality and availability of data, still security is an important concern that needs to be addressed. This paper provides a detailed survey on 5G security by addressing 5G opportunities, common threats targeting 5G network along with their mitigation strategies, security services offered by 5G networks and 5G security challenges. We have also provided a case study to demonstrate the potentials of 5G. This survey will help 5G researchers, service providers and 5G users in getting quick awareness of 5G network.08 01 2021 012037 http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/crossmark-policy iopscience.iop.org 5G Network Security Issues, hallenges, Opportunities and Future Directions: A Survey Journal of Physics: Conference Series paper Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://iopscience.iop.org/info/page/text-and-data-mining 10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037/pdf https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037/pdf https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1979/1/012037/pdf Duan 2020 10.1109/MNET.001.1900659 Emerging technologies for 5G-IoV networks: Applications, trends and opportunities Elayoubi 2017 5G innovations for new business opportunities Geller 1 2018 5G security innovation with Cisco IEEE communications Surveys & Tutorials Khan 22 196 2019 10.1109/COMST.2019.2933899 A Survey on Security and Privacy of 5G Technologies: Potential Solutions, Recent dvancements, and Future Directions Wireless personal communications Rao 100 145 2018 10.1007/s11277-018-5615-7 Impact of 5G technologies on industry 4.0 Teece 1 2017 5G mobile: impact on the health care sector, in Working paper IEEE Access Sharma 8 65993 2020 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.2985313 Wearable Computing for Defence Automation: Opportunities and Challenges in 5G Network Verma 256 2019 Campbell 2017 Alliance 2016 Recommendations for NGMN KPIs and Requirements for 5G IEEE Communications Magazine Javaid 56 94 2018 10.1109/MCOM.2018.1800036 Intelligence in IoT-based 5G networks: Opportunities and challenges China ommunications Zhang 16 69 2019 A survey of testing for 5G: Solutions, opportunities, and challenges Entropy Li 21 497 2019 10.3390/e21050497 Physical layer key generation in 5G and beyond wireless communications: Challenges and opportunities IEEE Internet of Things Journal Wang 6 8169 2019 10.1109/JIOT.2019.2927379 Physical-layer security of 5G wireless networks for IoT: Challenges and opportunities China Communications Qiao 16 141 2019 0.23919/JCC.2019.09.010 Mobile web augmented reality in 5G and beyond: Challenges, opportunities, and future directions Ahmad 10.1109/CSCN.2017.8088621 5G security: Analysis of threats and solutions Sensors Varga 20 828 2020 10.3390/s20030828 5g support for industrial iot applications–challenges, solutions, and research gaps Future Generation Computer Systems Hussain 101 843 2019 10.1016/j.future.2019.07.006 Integration of VANET and 5G Security: A review of design and implementation issues Hasnat 10.1109/ECACE.2019.8679326 Security Study of 5G Heterogeneous Network: Current Solutions, Limitations & Future Direction Humayun 10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3028764 Privacy Protection and Energy Optimization for 5G-Aided Industrial Internet of Things International Journal of Computer Science and Network Security IJCSNS Alferidah 20 263 2020 A Review on Security and Privacy Issues and Challenges in Internet of Things Wireless Pers Commun Almusaylim 111 541 2020 10.1007/s11277-019-06872-3 Comprehensive Review: Privacy Protection of User in Location-Aware Services of Mobile Cloud Computing International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications (IJACSA) Alshammari 8 2017 Internet of Things (IoT): Charity Automation Hussain 1 2020 Performance Enhancement in Wireless Body Area Networks with Secure Communication Natarajan 10.1109/JSYST.2020.3025407 2020 New Clustering-Based Semantic Service Selection and User Preferential Model Nataraj 10.1109/JSEN.2020.3020971 2020 Intelligent Robotic Chair with Thought Control and Communication Aid Using Higher Order Spectra Band Features Babu 10.1049/iet-net.2020.0122 2020 Comparative analysis of distributive linear and non-linear optimised spectrum sensing clustering techniques in cognitive radio network systems Sitharthan 10.1049/rpg2.12119 2021 Piezoelectric energy harvester converting wind aerodynamic energy into electrical energy for microelectronic application International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems Sitharthan 10.1002/2050-7038.12685 31 e12685 2021 Torque ripple minimization of PMSM using an adaptive Elman neural network-controlled feedback linearization-based direct torque control strategy INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS Fong 10 302 2019 10.14569/IJACSA.2019.0100140 The Coin Passcode: A Shoulder-Surfing Proof Graphical Password Authentication Model for Mobile Devices The Next Generation Swift and Secured Mobile Passcode Authenticator
