Researchers had recently demonstrated how attackers could intercept device capability information and use it against 5G mobile subscribers.
The standards body in charge of 5G wireless network security is drafting new requirements for addressing recently reported vulnerabilities in the technology that impact both end user devices and operator infrastructure.
The new requirements – which are expected to become available from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) with the next release of the 5G standard – specify how certain device information should be handled on the network.
