Περίληψη:
This paper presents a qualitative risk analysis of the General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS) technology. GPRS presents several essential
security weaknesses which may lead to security attacks that can
compromise the network operation and the data transfer. We perform a
detailed threat analysis by identifying the possible attacks that may
result from the GPRS security, weaknesses. The analyzed threats are
categorized into critical areas of GPRS security exposure and further
divided into threats that compromise the availability, confidentiality,
integrity, privacy, authorization and authentication of the system. each
threat is associated with a qualitative risk value that incorporates the
likelihood of the attack and its potential impact on the system. The
understanding gained from the analysis is used to classify, the threats
in low and high risk threats and define the specific areas of GPRS that
require additional security measures.
