Abstract: Systems and methods of configuring, managing and ensuring security compliance of Virtual Network Slices that transit through physical networks, virtual networks (SDN), cloud networks, radio access networks, service provider networks, and enterprise networks are identified. The methods include user side security validation methods while attempting to use a network slice for a specific service, and security validation of physical or virtual networks and the associated transit network elements. The methods disclose enriching the Security Certificates with policy parameters and the associated procedures that transit elements are required to assure for security compliance. Additionally, methods for incorporating a mobile native security platform in Wireless Mobile Network (4G/5G) that supports generating X.509 Certificates enhanced with policy requirements, validating allowed/disallowed list of transit network vendor devices, virtual network appliances are identified.

Abstract: A method for effecting communication between first and second antennas, includes the steps of (a) mutually displacing the antennas and determining received signal strength at each antenna and positioning said antennas accordingly to obtain a first quality level of communication therebetween; and (b) effecting a second quality level of communication as between the antennas, exceeding the first quality level, by defining a plurality of succeedingly diminishing search movement patterns for each of the first and second antennas, transmitting from the first antenna while displacing the second antenna in one such pattern and detecting the level of receipt of such transmitted energy. The second antenna is now placed in its location of maximum received signal level and transmits while the first antenna is displaced in one of the patterns and its level of receipt of transmitted energy is monitored. The first antenna is now placed in its location of maximum received signal level.
