LTE Security, Second Edition

Description

A concise, updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsA welcome Revised Edition of the successful LTE Security addressing the security architecture for SAE/LTE, which is based on elements of the security architectures for GSM and 3G, but which needed a major redesign due to the significantly increased complexity, and different architectural and business requirements of fourth generation systems. The authors  explain in detail the security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. The specifications generated by standardization bodies only inform about how to implement the system (and this only to the extent required for interoperability), but almost never inform readers about why things are done the way they are. Furthermore, specifications tend to be readable only for a small group of experts and lack the context of the broader picture. The book fills this gap by providing first hand information from insiders who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP, and can therefore explain the rationale for design decisions in this area.A concise, fully updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security Standardization specificationsDescribes the essential elements of LTE and SAE Security, written by leading experts who participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPPExplains the rationale behind the standards specifications giving readers a broader understanding of the context to these specificationsIncludes new chapters covering 3GPP work on system enhancements for MTC, plus application layer security in ETSI TC M2M and embedded smart card in ETSI SCP;  Security for Machine-type Communication, Relay Node Security, and Future Challenges, including Voice over LTE, MTC,  Home base stations, LIPA/SIPTO, and New Cryptographic AlgorithmsEssential reading for System engineers, developers and people in technical sales working in the area of LTE and LTE security, communication engineers and software developers in mobile communication field.Content: Chapter 1 Overview of the Book (pages 1–4): Chapter 2 Background (pages 5–27): Chapter 3 GSM Security (pages 29–36): Chapter 4 Third?Generation Security (UMTS) (pages 37–65): Chapter 5 3G–WLAN Interworking (pages 67–82): Chapter 6 EPS Security Architecture (pages 83–107): Chapter 7 EPS Authentication and Key Agreement (pages 109–132): Chapter 8 EPS Protection for Signalling and User Data (pages 133–154): Chapter 9 Security in Intra?LTE State Transitions and Mobility (pages 155–173): Chapter 10 EPS Cryptographic Algorithms (pages 175–181): Chapter 11 Interworking Security between EPS and Other Systems (pages 183–214): Chapter 12 Security for Voice over LTE (pages 215–232): Chapter 13 Security for Home Base Station Deployment (pages 233–280): Chapter 14 Relay Node Security (pages 281–292): Chapter 15 Security for Machine?Type Communications (pages 293–308): Chapter 16 Future Challenges (pages 309–317):
