Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for security management with compromised-equipment detection in a communication system are disclosed. For example, a method comprises causing intentional introduction of one or more errors in at least one communication protocol layer of a communication network, wherein the communication network has a plurality of user equipment connected thereto via at least one access point. The method further comprises causing verification of one or more received error indicators against one or more expected error indicators to decide whether any of: (i) the plurality of user equipment; (ii) the at least one access point; or (iii) one or more network entities, may be compromised. In other examples, verifications may be correlated with other logs including, for example, security event logs.
