Honeynets in 3G – A Game Theoretic Analysis

Christos K. Dimitriadis

2006

Abstract

Although security improvements were implemented in the air interface of Third Generation (3G) mobile systems, important security vulnerabilities remain in the mobile core network, threatening the whole service provision path. This paper presents an overview of the results of a security assessment on the Packet Switched domain of a mobile operator’s core network and studies the benefits from implementing a Honeynet in 3G, by the deployment of game theory.
