5G deployments imply that in the future much more devices will be connected and communicating than in today’s classical 4G mobile networks.
Naturally, with the explosion of the
number of network elements comes
increased vulnerability as the attack
surface increases consequently. Hence,
two major concerns arise:
- How to trust that only legitimate
entities are involved? - How to protect data at rest and
in transfer?
IDnomic Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) issues digital identities for all types of IoT network-connected devices, ranging from 4G/5G antennae and secure gateways to individual smartphones, to protect information exchange throughout the mobile network.
We guide you, as telecommunications operators, through each step of your transition from 4G to 5G.

How PKI responds to 5G security challenges?
Secure
Authentication
Certificate Based Authentication uses digital certificates to authenticate devices and users in 5G networks.This certificate based authentication ensures that only authorized entities can access the network.
Mutual Authentication is performed when both the network and the device authenticate each other. This two way verification enhances security by preventing unauthorized access and man in the middle attacks.
Data
Encryption
End to End Encryption facilitates the establishment of secure, end to end encrypted connections between devices and the network. When data is transmitted, it is encrypted using the recipient's public key, and only the recipient's private key can decrypt it. This ensures data confidentiality & privacy.
Secure Key Exchange helps securely exchange encryption keys between devices. The use of asymmetric encryption for key exchange ensures that even if a malicious actor intercepts the keys, they cannot decipher the
encrypted data without the private key
Integrity
Checks
Digital Signatures allow to verify the integrity of data at rest and in transit. Data packets can be signed with a private key, and the recipient
can verify the signature using the sender's public key. If the data has been tampered with during transit, the signature will fail validation, indicating potential tampering.
Certificate Revocation informs network components by means of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) whether a device or user's credentials is compromised or not.
