IMS Security for Telecom Equipment Manufacturers

Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) and migration to the IMS environment enables carriers to provide subscribers next-generation multimedia applications to a larger audience of consumers and businesses.

However, adoption of an IP-based infrastructure presents carriers and their device manufacturers with a new set of security threats that must be addressed. Inherent vulnerabilities of signaling data makes the premium applications and services offered by carriers susceptible to billing fraud, unauthorized use, and denial of service attacks; all of which negatively effect carrier revenue.

In order to protect sensitive call setup and billing data from interception and manipulation, the 3GPP and 3GPP2 recommend the use of IPsec to provide robust integrity, confidentiality, and authentication of messages.
