An In-depth Look at Wireless WAN Security: Cellular Digital Packet Data Networks and their Security Issues
Overview Today's technology imposes restricted requirements on the corporate users for constant access to their corporate resources. Few instances of these resources are corporate e-mail or web services. Many of these corporate users are mobile, either traveling far or near the physical location of their office. Sometimes it is essential for these remote users to have immediate access to their company resources. Wireless WANs provide the most rapid way of accessing these resources. Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) network is one of the most common wireless infrastructures that are being implemented nationwide today. A CDPD network is an overlay service on top of the existing AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Systems) cellular voice networks. In this paper the security architecture of a CDPD network will be scrutinized and some possible solutions will be investigated.
