5G is predicted to be a wireless network that will offer a delivery speed of 20 Gbps, provide exceptionally low latency at the same time connecting billions of devices. Basing on this many experts have asserted that the Internet of Things will have its backbone as the 5G since it will offer the connections between various disparate networks to form a single amalgamated structure that unites the short distance communications such as Bluetooth and RFID with the cellular technology and integrate small cells and diverse networks.
Besides this it is presumed that 5G will make use of new spectrum in the microwave bands and the high frequencies millimeter wave. 5G has therefore been set the question to find out if it will be able to meet all the demands of the Internet of Things. However, 5G has been considered appealing for IoT because of its potentiality to bring in the possibilities of segmenting out the low bandwidth devices and users that do not essentially require the high data speeds and great chunks of bandwidth so as to function. As an alternative the 5G use incidences will only require a dependable connection that is interoperable with the related IoT networks and devices.

Excerpt from the Book
Security in 5G Networks
Security is another key concept of the 5G networks that significantly plays a central role in its performance. In the contemporary communication schemes there exists an architectural disparity between data error correction and data encryption. The encryption section is established on cryptographic standards and views fundamental in the communication channels as a supreme bit pipe. The error correction section is basically executed at the physical layer. [6] It appends redundancy into source bits so as to counter channel destruction or interference by the multiuser at the same time convert the noisy communication feed into a dependable bit pipe.
Through periods differentiation based architecture has been considered as the long serving solution in various systems, a significant number of application has evolved in the past few years that involves the embedment of the encryption mechanisms in the physical layer termed as embedded security. [5]This kind of security is a new research field that explores the physical unclonable and stochastic nature of the wireless feed comprised of noise and the hardware, for instance, for fingerprint and symmetric key generation. 5G is envisioned to ingrain this security into its system design from pure grounds and survey its tradeoffs and benefits in this given novelty designs to enhance scalable, swift security means executed without user interaction.
