Attacks on Cellular Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The cellular industry is growing quickly but so is the fraud. For instance, based on the surveys conducted by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), the number of U.S. cellular subscribers, cell sites, and total revenue have grown 112, 27, and 36 times, respectively, over the past ten years. At least 38.2 million, 14.5% of the entire U.S. population, have subscribed to the wireless service and another subscriber is added approximately every 2.8 seconds. There are more than 300 cellular carriers in the States now, but only a small group of entrepreneurs ten years ago. Cellular fraud cost the cellular industry $365 millions in 1994 and at least $500 millions in 1995, consistently 2.56% and 2.62% over the total revenues, in respective years. [1,2,3]

Moving dispersion method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems
A unified method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems is theoretically introduced. It is based on estimating a dispersion measure of numerical or symbolic data on successive moving windows in time and finding the times when a relative change of the dispersion measure is significant. Appropriate dispersion measures, relative differences, moving windows, as well as tec...
متن کاملResilient Configuration of Distribution System versus False Data Injection Attacks Against State Estimation
State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...
متن کاملSide channel parameter characteristics of code injection attacks
Embedded systems are suggestive targets for code injection attacks in the recent years. Software protection mechanisms, and in general computers, are not usually applicable in embedded systems since they have limited resources like memory and process power. In this paper we investigate side channel characteristics of embedded systems and their applicability in code injection attack detection. T...
متن کاملTheoretical and Computational Evaluation of the Use of Molecular Nanoelectronic Technology in Targeted Monitoring of Electrical Brain Waves to Predict Some Neuro-cerebral Attacks
Abstract Background and Objectives: Today, it is expected that by using molecular nanoelectronic, the symptoms emitted from neurons will be studied. Many studies show that abnormalities in the normal functioning of brain cells can lead to neurological attacks. One of the most common brain system defects is epileptic seizures. In this case, due to the electrical discharge of a group of neurons,...
متن کاملImproving Tor security against timing and traffic analysis attacks with fair randomization
The Tor network is probably one of the most popular online anonymity systems in the world. It has been built based on the volunteer relays from all around the world. It has a strong scientific basis which is structured very well to work in low latency mode that makes it suitable for tasks such as web browsing. Despite the advantages, the low latency also makes Tor insecure against timing and tr...
متن کاملA Survey of Solutions to Protect Against All Types of Attacks in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
In recent years mobile networks have expanded dramatically, compared with other wireless networks. Routing protocols in these networks are designed with the assumption that there is no attacker node, so routing protocols are vulnerable to various attacks in these networks. In this paper, we review the network layer attacks and then we simulate the impact of black hole attack on ad hoc on demand...
