Abstract

Telecommunications systems are critical aspects of infrastructure with more safety-critical systems utilising their capabilities. Domains such as medicine and automotive applications are required to be resilient and failure tolerant. We have constructed a testbed environment that can be configured into various telecommunication operator configurations based around Network Function Virtualisation, Edge Cloud and Internet-of-Things along with trusted computing. Utilising a medical application as the motivating case to demonstrate reliability, resiliency and as a compelling demonstration we can investigate the interaction of these security technologies in telecommunications environment while providing a safety-critical use case.
