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.

Abstract


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.
