D.2 Protection of UTRAN/GERAN IP transport protocols and interfaces

33.2103GPPIP network layer securityNetwork Domain Security (NDS)Release 17TS

IPsec ESP shall be used with both encryption and integrity protection for all RANAP and RNSAP messages traversing inter-security domain boundaries.

Iu/Iuh and Iur/Iurh control plane traffic shall be routed via a SEG when it takes place between different security domains (in particular over those interfaces that may exist between different operator domains). In order to do so, operators shall operate NDS/IP Za-interface between SEGs. If a UTRAN node has implemented SEG functionality within the same physical entity, transport mode IPsec is optional for implementation and use on the Iur/Iurh interface.

It will be for the operator to decide whether and where to deploy Zb-interfaces in order to protect the RANAP and RNSAP messages over the Iu/Iuh and Iur/Iurh interfaces within the same security domain.
