Post-quantum cryptography and 5G security
T. Charles Clancy, Robert McGwier, Lidong Chen · 2019
The Fifth Generation (5G) mobile broadband standards make a fundamental shift in cryptography. Prior generations based their security and privacy principally on symmetric key cryptography. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and its successors contain a shared key used to authenticate the User Equipment (UE) to the network, and vice versa.
