Abstract :
Adoption of Internet protocol (IP) in third generation (3G) wireless network systems opens up new attacks to mobile devices. In this paper we investigate various user plane threats and propose mechanisms to defend those attack. We then specify a mechanism to distribute user plane firewall filters seamlessly with the help of policy management.
