Abstract
Rapid developments in cellular communications are accompanied by rising privacy and security worries. Many people refrain from participating in activities like social networking, shopping, transactions, and conducting a lot of business because network security and user privacy are major concerns in our daily lives. However, there is now a greater need for a private, highly secure business. This was accompanied by an increase in the requirements for it due to the growing hazards and programmers in our daily activities. The Fifth Generations (5G) groups are rapidly developing, as evidenced by the fact that the number of supporters is increasing by several times per second around the world in light of the ongoing revelations. According to statistics, 80% of people worldwide claim to use 5G mobile phones, and the percentage has been steadily rising for a very long time. A high level of security is also necessary because the 5G network serves as the basis for the 5G network. From there, this article gives an overview of some of the different 5G network vulnerabilities that can occur. Additionally, certain recent advancements in 5G security have revealed several flaws that still exist, allowing experts to concentrate on and fix these flaws.
