• Enhanced cryptographic algorithms: 5G R15 standards currently define security mechanisms such as 256-

bit key transmission. Future 5G standards will support 256-bit cryptographic algorithms to ensure that such

algorithms used on 5G networks are sufficiently resistant to attacks by quantum computers. The 3GPP

has recommended that the ETSI Security Algorithms Group of Experts (SAGE) start to evaluate 256-bit
