1 Scope
The present document contains objectives, requirements and test cases that are specific to the eNB network product
class. It refers to the Catalogue of General Security Assurance Requirements and formulates specific adaptions of the
requirements and test cases given there, as well as specifying requirements and test cases unique to the eNB network
product class.
2 References
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
- References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
- For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.

4 eNodeB-specific security requirements and related
test cases
4.1 Introduction
eNodeB specific security requirements include both requirements derived from eNodeB-specific security functional
requirements as well as security requirements derived from threats specific to eNB as described in TR 33.926 [4].
Generic security requirements and test cases common to other network product classes have been captured in TS 33.117
[2] and are not repeated in the present document.
