Section: Annex I (normative): Security requirements for RNCs in exposed locations I.1 General
Content: RNCs may be deployed at exposed locations where they run a higher risk of physical attack than RNCs in physically protected parts of the operator domain. For such deployments, RNCs adhering to the security requirements in this Annex should be used. RNCs in other deployments are not required to adhere to these requirements. RNCs may be found in exposed locations e.g. when RNC and NB are co-located in one node (collapsed RNC / NBs). NOTE: These security requirements have been modelled after those in clause 5.3 of TS 33.401[ 3GPP System Architecture Evolution (SAE); Security architecture ]  [28]. These requirements apply in addition to the security requirements stated for Iu and Iur interfaces in Annex D of TS 33.210[ Network Domain Security (NDS); IP network layer security ]  [39].
