Abstract

In 5G networks, packets transmitted from local UPF of a 5G network to another UPF in different destination 5G network is not encrypted. This conducts a risk of data leakage, particularly along the connection established between the two UPFs. To solve this problem, in this study, we propose an architecture that encrypts/decrypts packets with edge computers by using asymmetric cryptography for UEs.
