Mobile Communication Systems and Security

Arms readers with a well-rounded understanding of all major cellular air-interface technologies and their security layer techniquesMobile Radio Communications and Wireless Security covers technological development of wireless mobile communications in compliance with each iterative generation over the past decade. It presents the evolution and migration starting from 2G mobile radio technologies to 3G and beyond systems, largely covering packet-switched voice and data communications, with an emphasis on security layer protocols. Topics include GSM and cdmaOne IS-95A (2G), GPRS (2.5G), UMTS along with WCDMA (3G), CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (3G), CDMA2000 1xEV-DV (3G), HSDPA (3.5G), OFDM Radio Access technology (3.5G), AES and Elliptic Curve Cryptograph, Hash Function and Message Digest, HMAC, Data Expansion Technique by P-hash (secret, seed), Pseudo-random Function for Key generation. Delves into each iterative generation of cellular technology Provides an intimate understanding of security protocol layer techniques Written by a top expert in information security Presents numerical examples in each chapter for easier understanding Comes with code that can be used for individual practice Lecture notes available for instructor use
