Abstract: Slice control elements in a 5G slicing framework are instantiated in trusted hardware to provide for sealed data transmission in a trusted slice. In addition to sealing the data plane in the trusted slice, the control plane for the slice may be secured by the instantiation into the trusted hardware of layer 2 (medium access control—MAC) scheduling functions for radio resources (e.g., subcarriers and time slots). Layer 1 (physical—PHY) may also be configured to further enhance security of the trusted slice by isolating its PHY layer from that of other trusted and non-trusted slices. Such isolation may be implemented, for example, by using dedicated PHY resources, or by limiting resource time sharing to provide temporal isolation.
