What is EU5G Cybersecurity Certification?

The EU5G Cybersecurity Certification is a European certification framework aimed at ensuring the security and integrity of 5G networks across Europe. This certification is managed by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and is part of a broader effort to strengthen cybersecurity within the European Union's critical infrastructure, particularly in the telecommunications sector.

Key Aspects of EU5G Cybersecurity Certification

Here are some of the key aspects of EU 5G cybersecurity certification:

  1. Focus on 5G Networks: The EU5G certification specifically targets the security of 5G networks, which are increasingly becoming the backbone of digital communication and services in Europe. The certification process is designed to address the unique security challenges posed by 5G technology.
  2. Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC): A significant focus of the EU5G certification is on the security of the embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). The eUICC is a critical component in mobile devices, enabling the management of multiple mobile network operator profiles on a single device. Ensuring the security of eUICC is essential for protecting user data and maintaining the overall security of the 5G network.
  3. Common Criteria (EUCC) Scheme: The certification of the eUICC under the EU5G framework is conducted according to the Common Criteria (EUCC) scheme. Common Criteria is an internationally recognized standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for evaluating the security of IT products. By utilizing this rigorous evaluation process, the EU5G certification aims to provide a high level of assurance that the eUICC and associated components meet stringent security requirements.
  4. EU-Wide Application: The certification is designed to be applicable across all EU member states, promoting a consistent and unified approach to 5G cybersecurity across the region.

Note: The scheme and its documentation are under consultation until August 26th, 12.00 CET
