nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - With advances in technology, a mobile device today is like a mini PC that provides voice and data services in the form of smart-phones. Phenomenal increase in data services which enable mobile communication access to critical aspects of human society/life has led to standardization of SAE/LTE (System Architecture Evolution/Long Term Evolution) by 3GPP and IEEE 802.16e/WiMAX. SAE/LTE is also known as Evolved Packet System (EPS). This book addresses the newer security issues that have arisen as a result of penetration of mobile communications and standardization. In particular, the book focuses on the latest security developments in 3GPP SAE/LTE and WiMAX. The intended audience for this book are mobile network and device architects, designers, researchers and students. The goal of the authors, who have a combined experience of more than 25 years in mobile security standardization, architecture, research, andeducation, is to provide the book's readers with up-to-date information about the architecture and challenges of EPS and WiMAX security.The book has six chapters; the first three chapters are intended to be introductory ones, and the remaining three chapters provide an in-depth assessment of security provisions. Chapter 1 provides a background to the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) activity and requirements. Chapter 2 provides an overview of security, telecommunication systems and their requirements.Chapter 3 provides some background information on standardization. Chapter 4 discusses the EPS (or SAE/LTE) security architecture developed by 3GPP, in particular, the authentication and key agreement method for SAE/LTE together with newly defined key hierarchy. This chapter also addresses the challenging aspects of SAE/LTE interworking and mobility with UMTS together withthe necessary key-exchange technologies. The focus of Chapter 5 is WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) security and provides an in-depth discussion of the WiMAX security requirements, the authentication aspects of PKMv2, and the overall WiMAX network security aspects. Chapter 6 briefly covers security for (i) Home(evolved)NodeB [H(e)NB is the Femto solution from 3GPP], (ii) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) security and (iii) Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS) and Group Key Management.

Riassunto

Starting from voice services with simple terminals, a mobile device today is nothing short of a small PC in the form of smart-phones. The result has been a huge increase in data-services, giving mobile communication access to critical aspects of human life. This has led to the standardization of System Architecture Evolution/Long Term Evolution (SAE/LTE) by 3GPP and IEEE 802.16e / WiMAX. Together with penetration of mobile communications and new standardization come new security issues and, thus, the need for new security solutions.

Security in Next Generation Mobile Networks provides a fresh look at those security aspects with the main focus on the latest security developments in 3GPP SAE/LTE and WiMAX. SAE/LTE is also known as Evolved Packet System (EPS). This book includes six chapters, the first three serving as introductory text, and the remaining three providing more in-depth discussions.

Chapter One gives a background of Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) activity and requirements. Following this explanation, Chapter Two provides an overview of security, telecommunication systems, and their requirements, and Chapter Three provides some background on standardization.

Chapter Four discusses the EPS (or SAE/LTE) security architecture developed by 3GPP. In particular, this chapter covers the authentication and key agreement method for SAE/LTE together with newly defined key hierarchy. This chapter also addresses the challenging aspects of SAE/LTE interworking and mobility with UMTS together with the necessary key-exchange technologies. Chapter Five provides an in-depth discussion of the WiMAX security requirements, the authentication aspects of PKMv2, and the overall WiMAX network security aspects. In Chapter Six, the text briefly covers security for:

•Home(evolved)NodeB, which is the Femto solution from 3GPP
•Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
•Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS) and Group Key Management.

The intended audience for this book is mobile network and device architects, designers, researchers, and students. The goal of the authors, who have a combined experience of more than 25 years in mobile security standardization, architecture, research, and education, is to provide readers with a fresh, up-to-date look at the architecture and challenges of EPS and WiMAX security.
