Abstract
In recent years, there have been major developments in, and deployment of, diverse mobile technology. Security issues in mobile computing are now presenting significant challenges. The ability to move from one network to another, and from one provider to another creating thus vertical and horizontal handoffs, has increased the complexity of mobile security. Heterogeneous networks are the convergence of wired and wireless networks, other diverse end user devices and other communication technologies which provide very high speed connections. The integration of heterogeneous wireless networks is one of the most important features that are needed for the future deployment of new wireless technologies such as 4G mobile systems. In heterogeneous network, there are several security threats which could cause service interruption and hijack the data. The goal of this presentation is to probe the principal security issues, challenges and fundamental security requirements of Heterogeneous wireless communications on the bases of their proposed solutions. Later discuss about the main issues for deployment of Heterogeneous wireless networks such as security attacks, vulnerabilities, battery power and improper security models. This presentation will also indicates the current security threats, issues and challenges in 4G technology. It also focuses on the security such as authentication and authorization mainly, on the interface between the network and the operator. However, the protection of the mobile device from attacks and becoming an attack tool solves important security issues in the heterogeneous networks.
