DDoS Attacks on the IoT network with the Emergence of 5G

Abstract

Human beings have always been concerned about bringing prosperity to life, and innovations have been in this direction. One of these innovations has been the Internet of Things that has resulted in changing in several other technologies. The new ecosystem created by the advent of IoT has led to the rapid digitization of the world. Another technology that can contribute to acceleration of this growth is 5G. The 5G with services such as more coverage, lower latency, bigger bandwidth etc. has quickly become the demand and need for other technologies to be able to use it as a communications infrastructure. Combining both the IoT and 5G, can result in new security challenges. One of the challenges is the DDoS attack, which does not require to create a botnet network and simply uses the IoT network to attack. This attack exploits the weaknesses in the 5G and IoT architecture.
