A concise, updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security
Standardization specifications

A welcome Revised Edition of the successful LTE Security
addressing the security architecture for SAE/LTE, which is based on
elements of the security architectures for GSM and 3G, but which
needed a major redesign due to the significantly increased
complexity, and different architectural and business requirements
of fourth generation systems. The authors explain in detail
the security mechanisms employed to meet these requirements. The
specifications generated by standardization bodies only inform
about how to implement the system (and this only to the extent
required for interoperability), but almost never inform readers
about why things are done the way they are. Furthermore,
specifications tend to be readable only for a small group of
experts and lack the context of the broader picture. The book fills
this gap by providing first hand information from insiders who
participated in decisively shaping SAE/LTE security in the relevant
standardization body, 3GPP, and can therefore explain the rationale
for design decisions in this area.

* A concise, fully updated guide to the 3GPP LTE Security
Standardization specifications

* Describes the essential elements of LTE and SAE Security,
written by leading experts who participated in decisively shaping
SAE/LTE security in the relevant standardization body, 3GPP

* Explains the rationale behind the standards specifications
giving readers a broader understanding of the context to these
specifications

* Includes new chapters covering 3GPP work on system enhancements
for MTC, plus application layer security in ETSI TC M2M and
embedded smart card in ETSI SCP; Security for Machine-type
Communication, Relay Node Security, and Future Challenges,
including Voice over LTE, MTC, Home base stations,
LIPA/SIPTO, and New Cryptographic Algorithms

Essential reading for System engineers, developers and people in
technical sales working in the area of LTE and LTE security,
communication engineers and software developers in mobile
communication field.

Autor

Dan Forsberg, Poplatek Oy, Finland Dr. Dan Forsberg is currently a development manager at Poplatek Oy where he takes care of the payment terminals area and also works with payment card industry security. Earlier, Dan led the SAE/LTE security standardization work in Nokia. He was also nominated as one of the Nokia top inventors in 2007-2008. Dan started his Ph.D. studies while working in Nokia and has published several scientific papers in the area of "improving and distributing session key management for mobile networks". He joined Helsinki University of Technology in 2009 and finalized his PhD studies there before the end of 2009. Günther Horn, Nokia Siemens Networks, Germany Dr Horn is a senior standardization expert at Nokia Siemens Networks. The focus of his work is on the standardization of 3G and SAE/LTE security in the 3GPPP security group (SA3), of which he has been a member since it started in 1999. Wolf-Dietrich Moeller, Nokia Siemens Networks, Germany Wolf-Dietrich Moeller is a senior researcher with Nokia Siemens Networks. Valtteri Niemi, University of Turku, Finland and Nokia Corporation, Finland Dr Niemi is a Professor of Mathematics in University of Turku, Finland and also a Nokia Fellow, for which role he is based at the Nokia Research Center in Helsinki, Finland. Prof. Niemi's work has been on security and privacy issues of future mobile networks and terminals, the main emphasis being on cryptological aspects. He participated in the 3GPP SA3 (security) standardization group from the beginning, and during 2003-2009 he was the chairman of the group.
