Course 591: CDMA2000 (1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV) Security

Having completed this course the participant will be able to understand how security is implemented, deployed and managed in IS-95 and CDMA2000 (1x-EV-DO and 1xEV-DV) networks, understand security concepts, understand the benefits of new security techniques applied and how they are implemented.

The goal of this course is to give the participant a strong and intuitive understanding of what security in the wireless systems is and how the security functions are implemented in the CDMA radio and core network. The course focuses both on the air interface and the core network.
