Abstract
Provided are features for determining authentication status information of an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Radio Unit (O-RU). According to embodiments, an O-RU controller may be configured to: obtain a Media Access Control (MAC) address of an O-RU; determine, based on the MAC address of the O-RU, an authentication status of the O-RU; based on determining that the O-RU has been authenticated, establish a channel binding with the O-RU; and based on determining that the O-RU has not been authenticated, isolate the O-RU from further communications with the O-RU controller.
