Abstract
5G networks bring a new paradigm of cellular infrastructure and, therefore, a need to model new types of threats. One of the primary innovations of 5G networks compared to previous generations is the ability to create network slices. This allows network operators to offer a logical section of a network to a client that can be optimized to their individual needs, such as enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communications, ultra-reliable, and low-latency communications. In this paper, we use the STRIDE threat modeling methodology to analyze risks associated with 5G slicing.
