Femtocells Secure Communication and Networking [Hardcover]

With Femtocell popularities and deployments on the rise, a number of Femtocell security breaches have been reported. This is a result of pre-standards Femtocells versions that did not conform to or implement the published standards as a result of lack of understanding of basic security principles. A considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry forums and standards developing organizations, toward creating technical specifications for the architecture, operation, and security of the Femtocells. Security remains on the minds of operators as the traditionally closed operator core network opens up with the Femtocells extending into the users homes and to potential hackers with more and more powerful tools.

Femtocells: Secure Communication and Networkingprovides an in-depth analysis and research results on the security design of Femtocells based on UMTS, LTE, CDMA, and WiMAX access technologies. Threat analysis, security requirements, and security mechanisms used to counter the threats and potential attacks are provided in details covering every aspect of Femtocell security.

Technical topics discussed in the book include:
UMTS/LTE Femtocell security and threat analysis
CDMA Femtocell security
WiMAX Femtocell security
LIPA and SIPTO security
Small Cells

Femtocells: Secure Communication and Networkingis ideal for personnel in communication, networking, and security industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in network security, computer science, operational research, electrical engineering, and telecommunication systems and the Internet.Preface
