Analysing GSM Insecurity
This addresses security vulnerabilities in GSM technology for global subscribers and companies, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing analysis without introducing major new solutions.
The paper tackled the problem of GSM insecurity by analyzing subscriber activities in personal and business environments using a customized GSM baseband protocol stack on a phone, but it did not report concrete numerical results or specific outcomes.
In the 1990s, GSM emerged as a cutting-edge technology that promised improved services, mobility, security, and increase in the revenues of companies through improved, secure communication for business transactions. The practical experience, however, has shown global subscribers and companies that mere technological excellence of GSM has not resulted in its success. This paper has been carried out to analyse the existing GSM subscriber activities in both personal and business worlds by implementing a customized GSM baseband protocol stack on a phone. The paper encompasses the tasks of analysing the prevailing GSM insecurity, establishing a conceptual design towards the findings revealed in the practical personal and business environments and knowledge gathered from the literature.
