Abstract: When stationed abroad, U.S. military, diplomatic, and non-governmental personnel use 5G networks that may be operated by untrusted and potentially hostile actors. GHOST (5G Hidden Operations through Securing Traffic) enables secure operations over these networks by hiding sensitive movement and communications from adversaries.Ìý

GHOST is a software application that can swap device IDs and activity patterns to prevent individuals from being identified, tracked and targeted; inject false network traffic to hide organizational activity; and enable deception operations to mislead adversaries. This presentation will provide an overview of the security challenges GHOST is designed to overcome, and the concepts, data analyses, and mathematics underlying the GHOST product.
