A bidding protocol for deploying mobile sensors
TL;DR: A bidding protocol to assist the movement of mobile sensors in which mobile sensors can move from dense areas to sparse areas to improve the overall coverage.
Book ChapterDOI
A taxonomy of cyber attacks on 3g networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-network service (CFS) is proposed, where the status of the subscriber's email inbox is used to trigger call forwarding in the wireless telecommunication network.

An Active Global Attack Model for Sensor Source Location Privacy: Analysis and Countermeasures
TL;DR: This paper formalizes this strong attack model, and proposes countermeasures against it, which is more realistic and powerful than current ones.
Book ChapterDOI
CAT — A Practical Graph & SDL Based Toolkit for Vulnerability Assessment of 3G Networks
TL;DR: This paper presents the Cellular Network Vulnerability Assessment Toolkit - CAT, designed for end-to-end vulnerability assessment of 3G networks, which is the first tool of its kind to model and represent 3G network vulnerabilities and attacks as attack graphs.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
EndSec: An end-to-end message security protocol for mobile telecommunication networks
TL;DR: EndSec is proposed, an end-to-end wireline signaling message security protocol for all types of signaling messages that works by inserting cryptographic checks on data items in signaling messages, has capabilities to self-detect and repair corruption, and identifies the nodes causing corruption.
