A Security Analysis of GSM Security using ECC Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
GSM (Group Special Mobile or System for Mobile Communications) is the PAN-EUROPEAN standard for digital cellular communication. GSM provides enhanced features when compared with the older analog-based wireless systems. A GSM network is more vulnerable to unauthorized access and eavesdropping when compared with the traditional fixed wired networks due to the mobility of users, the transmission of signals through open-air and the requirement of low power consumption by a mobile user. This paper focuses on the security techniques used within the GSM standard as well as current GSM security system vulnerabilities. In this paper, we proposed two new security protocols for GSM using Elliptic Curve Public Key Cryptography (ECC) technique and a security analysis of the proposed protocol.

GSM Security
Mobile wireless networks are more vulnerable to unauthorised access and eavesdropping when compared with the traditional fixed wired networks due to the mobility of users, the transmission of signals through open-air and the requirement of low power consumption by a mobile user. This paper focuses on the security techniques used within the GSM standard. First, current GSM security system vulner...
متن کاملA TESLA-based mutual authentication protocol for GSM networks
The widespread use of wireless cellular networks has made security an ever increasing concern. GSM is the most popular wireless cellular standard, but security is an issue. The most critical weakness in the GSM protocol is the use of one-way entity authentication, i.e., only the mobile station is authenticated by the network. This creates many security problems including vulnerability against m...
متن کاملAn ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication. This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

متن کاملProvably secure and efficient identity-based key agreement protocol for independent PKGs using ECC
Key agreement protocols are essential for secure communications in open and distributed environments. Recently, identity-based key agreement protocols have been increasingly researched because of the simplicity of public key management. The basic idea behind an identity-based cryptosystem is that a public key is the identity (an arbitrary string) of a user, and the corresponding private key is ...
