LTE Security Training Course Description
LTE Security Training discusses how LTE/E-UTRAN and EPC security substantially extends GSM, 3G/UMTS, and IMS security. LTE security training also encompasses the E-UTRAN, EPC and IMS security architectural.
LTE Security Training course presents in detail the security mechanisms employed to meet current and future LTE requirements.
Instructors are leading experts and industry consultants who participated in decisively shaping LTE/EPC/IMS security in the relevant standardization bodies. Network Access Security, Network Domain Security, User Domain Security, Application Domain Security User Configuration and Visibility of Security are discussed as part of LTE Security Framework.
Some of the basics learning highlights:
- Shows how GSM and 3G/UMTS security was enhanced and extended to meet the requirements of LTE and LTE/Advanced fourth generation systems
- Shows concepts behind LTE/E-UTRAN, LTE-Advanced, EPC, IMS and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) Security
- Explains why LTE security solutions are designed
Labs/hands-on practices: 2
Scenarios & Use-cases: 2
Key objectives & gained skill: 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 LTE, LTE advanced radio and core network. The course focuses both on the air interface and the core network security principles, vulnerabilities, attack vectors and mitigation.
