M.2.1 Requirements on the IAB-node (IAB-UE)

The IAB-node (IAB-UE) shall support ciphering, integrity protection and replay protection of NAS-signalling between the IAB-node (IAB-UE) and the 5GC supporting IAB architecture.

The IAB-node (IAB-UE) shall support ciphering, integrity protection and replay protection of RRC-signalling between the IAB-node (IAB-UE) and the IAB donor.

Mutual authentication between the IAB-node (IAB-UE) and the 5GC supporting IAB architecture shall be supported.

M.2.2 Requirements on the IAB donor

The IAB donor shall support ciphering, integrity protection and replay protection of RRC-signalling between the IAB donor and the IAB-node (IAB-UE).

M.2.3 Requirements on the 5GC supporting IAB architecture

The 5GC supporting IAB architecture shall support ciphering, integrity protection and replay protection of NAS-signalling between the 5GC supporting IAB architecture and the IAB-node (IAB-UE).

Mutual authentication between the 5GC supporting IAB architecture and the IAB-node (IAB-UE) shall be supported.

The 5GC shall decide whether the IAB-node is authorized to operate as IAB-node (gNB-DU).

M.2.4 Requirements for secure environment

The security requirements for secure environment of the IAB-node (gNB-DU) and the IAB-donor are described in clause 5.3.8 of this document.

M.2.5 Requirements on the F1 interface

The security requirements on the F1 interface between the IAB-node (gNB-DU) and the IAB-donor-CU are described in clause 5.3.9 of this document.
