Security architectures for B3G mobile networks

This paper analyzes the security architectures employed in the interworking model that integrates third-generation (3G) mobile networks and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), materializing Beyond 3G (B3G) networks. Currently, B3G networks are deployed using two different access scenarios (i.e., WLAN Direct Access and WLAN 3GPP IP Access), each of which incorporates a specific security architecture that aims at protecting the involved parties and the data exchanged among them. These architectures consist of various security protocols that provide mutual authentication (i.e., user and network authentication), as well as confidentiality and integrity services to the data sent over the air interface of the deployed WLANs and specific parts of the core network. The strengths and weaknesses of the applied security measures are elaborated on the basis of the security services that they provide. In addition, some operational and performance issues that derives from the application of these measures in B3G networks are outlined. Finally, based on the analysis of the two access scenarios and the security architecture that each one employs, this paper presents a comparison of them, which aims at highlighting the deployment advantages of each scenario and classifying them in terms of: a) security, b) mobility, and c) reliability.

Network-based mobility management in the evolved 3GPP core network

A key aspect of the 3GPP system architecture evolution is the specification of an evolved packet core that supports multiple access networks. The EPC enables operators to deploy and operate one common packet core network for 3GPP radio accesses (E-UTRAN, UTRAN, and GERAN), as well as other wireless and wireline access networks (e.g., eHRPD, WLAN, WIMAX, and DSL/Cable), providing the operator with a common set of services and capabilities across the networks. A key requirement of the EPC is to provide seamless mobility at the IP layer as the user moves within and between accesses. This article provides an overview of the EPC specifications that use a network-based mobility mechanism based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 to enable mobility between access networks. An important facet of providing seamless mobility for a user?s sessions across technologies is to ensure that quality of service is maintained as the user moves between accesses. An overview of the ?off-path? QoS model to supplement PMIPv6 is also provided.     

A Robust Authentication Protocol with Non-Repudiation Service for Integrating WLAN and 3G Network

The third-generation cellular systems provide great coverage, complete subscriber management and nearly universal roaming. Nevertheless, 3G systems suffer the high installation cost and low bandwidth. Though WLAN provides hot spot coverage with high data rates, it lacks roaming and mobility support. From users' points of views, the integration of WLAN and 3G systems is an attractive way that will provide them a convenient access to network. When integrating WLAN and 3G, there are still some problems should be concerned in terms of authentication and security, such as authentication efficiency and repudiation problem. In this paper, we review the authentication scheme for WLAN and 3G/UMTS interworking which is specified by 3GPP and propose a robust localized fast authentication protocol with non-repudiation service for integrating WLAN and 3G network. The localized re-authentication protocol can shorten the authentication time delay. On the other hand, with the non-repudiation service, the assumption, that subscriber has to fully trust 3G home operator, can be deleted and the trust management between the independent WLAN operator, 3G visited operator and 3G home operator can be eliminated. In other words, our proposed protocol provides legal evidences to prevent the 3G home operator from overcharge toward the subscriber and also prevent the WLAN operator and 3G visited operator from overcharge toward the 3G home operator. The authentication protocol employs HMAC, hash-chaining techniques, and public-key digital signature to achieve localized fast re-authentication and non-repudiation service.
