Security for Telecommunications Networks (Advances in Information Security Book 40)

14 minutes

An extensive overview of security in telecommunications networks, particularly focusing on cellular systems and their convergence with the Internet. The text first establishes core security concepts and cryptographic principles before thoroughly examining vulnerabilities in both traditional voice networks and modern cellular data services like GSM and GPRS. A significant portion is dedicated to analyzing the impact and mitigation of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via Short Messaging Service (SMS) and cellular data teardown mechanisms, demonstrating how network rigidities create exploitable weaknesses. Finally, the text explores the architecture and security challenges of Voice over IP (VoIP), contrasting its open, packet-switched nature with the circuit-switched design of traditional telephony systems.
