Roaming Agreements - The Hidden 5G Attack Surface
Swantje Lange
Forcing end-users into connecting to a fake base station has always been a risk to connection privacy. We show that even the mitigations added in 5G allow for fake base station attacks where users successfully connect and expose their network traffic. The underlying flaws are deeply anchored in the specification.
