Security Architecture in UMTS Third Generation Cellular Networks

Overview Throughout the last years there has been a great interest in developing and standardizing the technologies needed to achieve high speed transmission of data in cellular networks. Third generation (3G) wireless networks represent the more recent stage in this evolutionary process; they provide users with high transmission bandwidths which allow them to transmit both audio and video information in a secure manner. In order to protect the information transmitted through the radio interface, either user data or signaling data, an advanced security scheme was conceived. Among the features of this scheme are: mutual authentication, key agreement, block ciphering, an integrity algorithm and a confidentiality algorithm.
