Description
- Activities
- The project will investigate enhancing existing testing methods and adding new testing methods by: performing threat modeling for sophisticated threats, conducting security analysis and penetration testing, building advanced security tests as open-source exemplars, and submitting updates to oran alliance specifications. Creating approaches and procedures to effectively fuzz an o-ran system, updating an existing open source fuzzer (e.g., boofuzz, berserker, etc.) with o-ran protocols as a reference implementation, and submitting updates to o-ran alliance specifications.
- Expected outcomes
- Driving advanced security tests for sophisticated attackers into specifications increasing industry and community adoption of advanced security tests for sophisticated attacker intended beneficiaries: operators purchasing o-ran systems, o-ran alliance members, and small non-traditional o-ran component vendors who lack funding for commercial testing tools to verify their own components prior to conducting formal test compliance.
- Subrecipient activities
- Virginia tech will receive a subaward to work on threat model and security analysis, and on interface fuzzing on this project.
