5G Cellular Network Forensics

Abstract

The fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks will bring 10Gbps user speeds, have a wider bandwidth which can accommodate 1000 times what the fourth generation (4G) could and 100 times faster than the previous 4G cellular network. This paper’s focus is to highlight on the legal aspects of the 5G cellular network. That is, the health issues, privacy, and security issues on Africans. Most crimes currently are facilitated by cellular network devices and with the improvement that the 5G cellular network brings, there is going to be an increase in cybercrime and hence the need for forensics. These forensics’ techniques used in evidence acquisition violates the privacy and security of the users of the 5G cellular network.
