The security challenges confronting Open RAN are like those faced by contemporary RAN systems and other virtualized architectures. The division of functions in Open RAN expands the potential threat landscape. When implementing security measures, such as encryption, on the Open Fronthaul Interface, it is essential to consider the stringent latency requirements of the RAN. The growing reliance on open-source software in modern telecommunications platforms underscores the importance of secure development practices within open-source communities for Open RAN. In addition, the integration of AI in the RAN introduces the possibility of unforeseen consequences, as observed in other domains (e.g., racially biased facial recognition). Additionally, the substantial increase in IoT devices necessitates that all RAN deployments guard against the rising risk of attacks by compromised devices. Acknowledging these potential security challenges and recognizing the paramount importance of a secure RAN, this presentation will outline security requirements and solutions that empower the O-RAN architecture to deliver the expected level of security for both the industry and 5G users. The discussion will also spotlight the efforts of the O-RAN ALLIANCE Security Task Group (STG) and O-RAN ALLIANCE Working Groups (WGs) in addressing security challenges across all O-RAN interfaces and components, specifying, and recommending modern, practical security solutions. *This event is being recorded Co-sponsored by: IEEE Future Networks Speaker(s): Taha Sajid Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/403461

Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and immutable recording of transactions across a network of computers. At its core, a blockchain consists of a chain of blocks, where each block contains a list of transactions. It requires network consensus to ensure validity. Once consensus is met, a block can be added to the ledger as an immutable record of transaction. This rather simple concept has already changed our transactional landscape a great deal since it emerged in popularity. Conceptually, blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt traditional systems, increase efficiency, transparency, and trust, and empower individuals and organizations across various domains. But, how did we get here? How is the history of Blockchain tied to Engineering and Technology? Is Blockchain only significant in the Data sciences and Computer Sciences Industries?
