17.1 Introduction
The development path of any industry or economic sector is significantly affected by the
opportunities provided by the available technologies, the particular characteristics of its
markets and the directions and priorities of related government policies and regulations.
These factors can be mutually supportive in stimulating growth and creating benefits, or
they can conflict with one another, creating major blockages to development. Potential
opportunities for development in the sector will arise from the interrelations among
technologies, markets and policies. This will be true also with respect to the 5G telecommunication networks; especially so, because they will play a ubiquitous and pervasive
role in the daily life of people.
The future 5G networks are a part of the critical information infrastructure, and it has
to be ensured that they meet the requirements set for such infrastructures. It is clear
that Security and Privacy will be of utmost importance for the critical infrastructures,
and certainly they are among the key aspects to pay attention to when designing the
new mobile network concepts and exploiting the related new technologies.
The concept of Privacy is one of the fundamental motivations for security [1]. Privacy
is commonly understood as the right of individuals to control what information related
to them may be collected and stored and by whom and to whom that information may
be disclosed. By extension, Privacy is also associated with certain technical means (e.g.
cryptography) to ensure that this information is not disclosed to any other than the
intended parties, so that only the explicitly authorized parties can interpret the content
exchanged among them.
Most commonly, privacy and confidentiality are used as the same term, but it should
be noted that differentiation between Privacy and data confidentiality exists [2], the former relating to the protection of the association of the identity of users and the activities
