0Wireless Overview: Protocols and Threat Models
Dan Veeneman
[ Wireless ]
Everything seems to be going wireless. There are now a number of wireless voice and data networks that are used routinely to carry sensitive business and personal information. This session will provide an introduction to the protocols, radio modulation techniques, and security features of CDPD, Bluetooth, digital mobile telephony (including SIM cards), SMS, 3G, two-way paging and private data networks.
We'll discuss the development of threat models and some corresponding mitigation techniques, as well as demonstrate several wireless tools and test equipment.
A question and answer session at the end of the presentation will allow participants to cover any additional issues they'd like to discuss.
