Privacy and security are among the most important and major concerns in LTE/SAE/IPv6 adoption strategy. The security mechanism involving IP networks slows down the further network technology adoption. Due to the fear of privacy breaches and putting the businesses at risk and potentially cause significant financial loss, operators and enterprises may be reluctant to adopt new network requirements though they are clearly aware of the cost saving benefits and productivity improvements of using convergent communication technologies on a single infrastructure, which enables universal connectivity for users. Therefore it is fundamentally essential to adopt an end-to-end system approach to security for the next-generation wireless networks. A number of mandatory security measures/requirements include:
- Secure protocols, infrastructure, communication, and data storage
- User authorization, authentication, and auditing
- End-to-end compliance
- Secure signaling, network management and control
- Unsolicited traffic protection
- Software integrity
