An invaluable reference discussing the Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA), its infrastructure, usage andintegration into existing networks
Cellular Authentication for Mobile and Internet Servicesintroduces the reader into the field of secure communication formobile applications, including secure web browsing with a phone orPC, Single Sign-On (SSO), mobile broadcast content protection,secure location services, etc. The book discusses the GenericAuthentication Architecture (GAA) of the mobile standardizationbody 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and itsAmerican counterpart 3GPP2 in full detail and with all variants. Itexplains the usage of GAA by various standardization bodies andstandardized applications, and also looks at a number ofnon-standardized ones, such as secure remote login to enterpriseenvironment and card personalization.
Cellular Authentication for Mobile and InternetServices:
* Describes the usage of the generic authentication architecture(GAA) by various standardization bodies and standardizedapplications, covering mobile broadcast / multicast servicesecurity, Single Sign-On, HTTPS (i.e. secure web browsing), securedata access, secure location services, etc
* Provides guidance on how to integrate the genericauthentication into existing and future terminals, networks andapplications
* Explains the functionality of the application security ingeneral as well as on application developer level
* Describes various business scenarios and related securitysolutions, and covers secure application implementation andintegration
* Brings together essential information (currently scatteredacross different standardization bodies) on standards in onecomprehensive volume
This excellent all-in-one reference will provide system andprotocol designers, application developers, senior software projectmanagers, telecommunication managers and ISP managers with a soundintroduction into the field of secure communication for mobileapplications. System integrators, advanced students, Ph.D.candidates, and professors of computer science ortelecommunications will also find this text very useful.
