Overview
In this training we will cover security issues from 2G to 4G networks, specifically focusing on the air interface portion of the network. We will cover the various attack surfaces for the cellular network and protocols which allows us to show the impact of various vulnerabilities. We will also include a portion on security of 5G networks and will introduce the progress of 3GPP SA3 standardization.
This course will be a combination of theory introduction and also hands-on practical experiments with SDRs. We will use SDR hardware tools, such as USRP, and open source projects related to cellular networks to analyze the existing signals, and also to allow you to build your own fake base stations! All SDR hardware will be provided.
Who Should Attend
Anyone that has an interest in cellular network security, for example security engineers in telecom operators, telecom manufactures, IoT device developers who use cellular network links, etc.
Key Learning Objectives
Understand the fundamental architecture of SDR systems
Get a birds eye view of the whole SDR-based cellular projects
Become familiar with common security concerns and attack surfaces in wireless communication systems
Prerequisite Knowledge
Basic knowledge of telecom & network principles
Basic knowledge of digital signal processing
Basic skills and usage of Linux
Hardware / Software Requirements
Attendees should have a modern (Intel core i7 is great) laptop with at least two USB ports with at least one of them being USB3. We will bring USRPs for the experiments however if you have your own device, you are welcome to bring it with you as well.
