MobSec: Security issues in Mobile Networks
State of the art
We are witnessing a constant increase in the use of mobile Internet-ready devices, allowing for mobile users to seamlessly roam among different networks. Node mobility and roaming is supported by most of the commonly deployed wireless access point. Moreover, specific protocols (like MipV4) are able to extend the pervasive IPv4 network by providing support for node mobility.
While representing a useful feature, node mobility can also be abused by attackers to generate stealth network attacks, undetectable by commonly deployed network intrusion detection systems.
