Abstract :
This paper presents findings of a threat analysis of data transmission over GSM/UMTS networks. We explore typical threats of mobile data transmission and describe their possible consequences related to security objectives like confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Furthermore, we develop a catalog of technical and organizational security measures and consider which threats can be prevented or mitigated by these measures.
