Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the description of the interaction between the new communication system (the 5G framework) and the emerging security paradigm, known as Software Defined Security. It can be considered as a new security model to be applied for the management of communication networks, in which security aspects are implemented, controlled, and managed at software level. The main objective is providing a clear-cut, understandable and upgradable security model, in which novel algorithms and solutions can be integrated and optimized.
