    Security aspects 5GLTE
    Trust model
    Composed of AMF, SEAF, AUSF, UMD, and ARPF.
    Composed of MME, HSS, and AuC.
    Authentication
    Using SUCI and SUPI for authentication, EAP-
    AKA and 5G AKA are necessary authentication
    methods. Secondary authentication can be
    carried out if the external data network required.
    Using IMSI and TMSI for
    authentication, the authentication
    method is EPS AKA and does not
    support secondary authentication.
    Security context
    Additional security context management in the case
    of multiple registrations.
    Does not support multiple
    registration security contexts.
    Security between
    PLMNs
    Ensure security between PLMNs through SEPP
    and N32 interface.
    		No SEPP.
    Mobility
    With more flexible mobility management,
    operators can decide whether to perform Xn or
    N2 handover for a specific gNB according to the
    security features of a specific gNB. Xn handover
    is only switched through the Xn interface
    without involving AMF.
    Mobility management must be
    done through AMF.
    User plane security
    Additional optional integrity and confidentiality
    protection.
    No integrity and confidentiality
    protection.
