Security at the Application Layer and the Physical Layer in 5G

While applying the magnificent benefits of storage methods to meet 5G service demands, security, trust issues in Cloud, and fog Computing are essential and exciting topics. There are various types of attacks in different logical planes (i.e. control plane and data plane), for example, the physical is particularly vulnerable to attacks such as spy attacks, scrambling attacks, identity theft attacks, primary user emulation (PUEA) attacks, and threats through wireless channels. The main attacks in the control plane are the attacks of the protocol of the MAC layer (Media Access Control) and common threats from control channels such as MAC spoofing, attack by extended denial of service, attack by jamming, etc. The 5G Service-Based Architecture (SBA) undergoes a lot of processing because of its importance, which is to make it the most targeted by attacks. Among the attacks that can be found in SBA: virtualization attacks, threats to user privacy, and other security threats.
