Hey guys,
as some of you may have noticed, just recently at ShmooCon we gave our talk “LTE
vs. Darwin” (Slides
here).
There we presented some results of our research in 4G telco network security.
Some of those originate from our research contribution to
ASMONIA, but we expanded the scope and also took a look at the
air interface. Both the air interface and the backend links & protocols must be
secured appropriately; otherwise communication may be eavesdropped or sensitive
information may be compromised. In the following we want to provide an overview
of LTE main components and potential attack vectors.

ERNW to contribute to government sponsored research project on telco security
Today we dare to (mis-) use the blog for a shameless self promotion 😉
We’re happy to announce that ERNW will contribute to a government sponsored
research project called ASMONIA (which stands for the
German title of the project that is Angriffsanalyse und Schutzkonzepte für
MObilfunkbasierte Netzinfrastrukturen unterstützt durch kooperativen
InformationsAustausch [Attack analysis and Security concepts for MObile
Network infrastructures, supported by collaborative Information exchAnge].
those readers familiar with that kind of projects will have an idea of the
importance of such acronyms ;-).
