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.

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.
