Towards 5G cellular network forensics
Abstract The fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks will bring 10 Gb/s user speeds, 1000-fold increase in system capacity, and 100 times higher connection density. In response to these requirements, the 5G networks will incorporate technologies like CUPS, NFV, network slicing, and CIoT. Each of...

| description | Abstract The fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks will bring 10 Gb/s user speeds, 1000-fold increase in system capacity, and 100 times higher connection density. In response to these requirements, the 5G networks will incorporate technologies like CUPS, NFV, network slicing, and CIoT. Each of these 5G features requires system adaptations to enable acquisition and forensic processing of cellular network evidence. This paper reviews the digital forensics mechanisms for Lawful Interception and user localization available in LTE and LTE-Advanced networks together with the associated evidence types, tools for forensic analysis, and supporting legal framework. The challenges and potential adaptations for retaining these capabilities in the future 5G networks are also discussed to outline the future research directions for cellular network forensics. |
