O-RAN WG11 Security Specification ORANWG11-6: Security Test Specifications, Certification, and Conformance

Operate security test + certification + conformance per O-RAN WG11 Security Test Specifications and WG11 Test Specifications including Open Test and Integration Center (OTIC) testing. Security test specifications must cover (a) interface security test cases per E2 + A1 + O1 + O2 + Open Fronthaul testing the authentication + confidentiality + integrity + authorisation + replay protection + cryptographic conformance, (b) component security test cases per O-DU + O-CU + O-RU + Near-RT RIC + Non-RT RIC + SMO + O-Cloud with positive and negative test scenarios, (c) negative test cases probing for known attack vectors + fuzzing + protocol abuse + boundary conditions, (d) penetration testing of integrated multi-vendor deployments. Certification must (a) align with O-RAN OTIC certification program + with vendor self-attestation + third-party assessment as deployment risk profile warrants, (b) align with 3GPP SECAM/SCAS certification for shared components, (c) align with national telecom security certification schemes where applicable (UK TSR + EU 5G Cybersecurity Toolbox + US CISA Secure by Design + similar). Conformance evidence must (a) demonstrate adherence to applicable WG11 specifications with traceability per requirement, (b) be maintained through release lifecycle of products + with regression testing on changes, (c) be available for operator audit + regulator inspection + customer due diligence.
