Security for Telecommunications Networks

From the reviews: "In this book, Traynor et al. reveal some of the vulnerabilities of mobile telephony, and briefly show its foundations in a clear and didactic way. Although average readers could easily understand the initial chapters, readers literate in computers and networks are the intended audience of the book. ... this is a very interesting book, full of valuable content. I would recommend it to everyone interested in the secrets of cellular telephony." (Agusti Solanas, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009) "This book identifies network security problems and vulnerabilities, their underlying causes, and some of their consequences and solutions. ... It addresses the security concerns in cellular networks, which seem to be the most rapidly growing segment of communications throughout the world, especially in fast-growing countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China. ... The book will be useful to network engineers, analysts, designers, and researchers interested in investigating cellular network security issues in detail."
