Prerequisites:

General knowledge of IS-95 and CDMA2000 networks.

Course Description:

Having completed this course the participant will be able to understand how security is implemented, deployed and managed in IS-95 and CDMA2000 (1x-EV-DO and 1xEV-DV) networks, understand security concepts, understand the benefits of new security techniques applied and how they are implemented.

Course Objectives:

The goal of this course is to give the participant a strong and intuitive understanding of what security in the wireless systems is and how the security functions are implemented in the CDMA radio and core network. The course focuses both on the air interface and the core network. The detailed descriptions of the security in the context of IS-95 and CDMA2000 (1x-EV-DO and 1xEV-DV) platforms A detailed description of security architecture Principles behind security Detailed descriptions and comparison of the cryptographic solutions in GSM/GPRS/UMTS and CDMA family Weaknesses in IS-95, 1x-EV-DO and 1xEV-DV security mechanisms New security features
