论文摘要

开放式建筑是一种有前途且面向未来的建筑。它旨在打开无线电访问网络(RAN),并在市场上实现更多的创新和竞争。这将导致当前5G网络的命中率,但尤其是对于未来的6G网络,从当前高度集成的,特定于供应商的供应商特定的架构发展到具有开放式接口的分析架构,这些架构将使您能够更好地量身定制解决方案,以根据5G和6G应用程序的要求。但是,与常规架相比,这种开放式建筑的引入大大扩大了攻击的可能性。过去,这通常导致了负面的头条新闻,这些头条新闻与安全性有故障或不充分的安全性相关联。在本文中,我们分析了开放部署的涉及哪些组件,如何评估当前的安全状况以及需要采取哪些措施来确保安全操作。

The Open RAN architecture is a promising and future-oriented architecture. It is intended to open up the radio access network (RAN) and enable more innovation and competition in the market. This will lead to RANs for current 5G networks, but especially for future 6G networks, evolving from the current highly integrated, vendor-specific RAN architecture towards disaggregated architectures with open interfaces that will enable to better tailor RAN solutions to the requirements of 5G and 6G applications. However, the introduction of such an open architecture substantially broadens the attack possibilities when compared to conventional RANs. In the past, this has often led to negative headlines that in summary have associated Open RAN with faulty or inadequate security. In this paper, we analyze what components are involved in an Open RAN deployment, how to assess the current state of security, and what measures need to be taken to ensure secure operation.
