Which of the following are ways in which a subscriber can be identified in 5G?
A)
Permanent Identity
B)
Concealed Identity
C)
Temporary Identity
D)
Hidden Identity

Correct Answer :   Permanent Identity


Explanation : In telecommunication systems, network operator allocate to each SIM card a unique identifier, known up to the 4G as an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and for the 5G as a  SUPI (Subscription Permanent Identifier). As authentication between a user and its  network provider is based on a shared symmetric key, it can only take place after user identification. However, if the IMSI/SUPI values are sent in plaintext over the radio access link, then users can be identified, located and tracked using these permanent identifiers.
