Informa Telecoms Academy and Gemalto present a unique insight into secure service provision in advanced communications works.

This programme explains how advanced and secure services and content will be delivered as operators evolve their networks towards 4G. The overall service mix, including voice, internet access (including Web 2.0), messaging, television, and advanced VAS (Value Added Services), as well as triple-play and quad-play service offerings and the supporting technologies are examined in detail.

Firstly, we look at the evolution of communications, focusing on mobility and the provision of Mobile Broadband via 3G HSPA and LTE, but including the integration of Fixed Access, Broadcast Systems, WiMAX and WiFi into the overall technology mix. The advanced core network, including the Evolved Packet Core for LTE is then presented – with a thorough examination of the network architecture, operation and overall service provision framework, including the use of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem). Alternative Service Delivery Platforms and architectures are also considered, not only in terms of content and service delivery, but also in the provision of internet access and voice services via the efficient IP infrastructure. The role of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and third party access in overall service provision, and the required interfaces are explained. Messaging infrastructure and operation is looked at in order to complete the service mix.

In the second part of the course, we identify key security concerns and solutions in emerging and advanced communication networks, including a comprehensive examination of the important role that the USIM plays in securing next generation services. We analyse the different parts of the end-to-end infrastructure, including factors linked to convergence (including IMS), handset considerations, and also how the USIM can provide privacy for personal data management.

We describe how subscribers can be securely identified, enabling access and billing of services that require strong identification & authentication between the different actors. There is a special focus on proximity services such as contactless. The roles of the different players are described for financial services, mobile-TV implementations and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. We also study how the USIM is adapted, with a specific form factor, for personal TV receivers and M2M modules.

The overall aim is to ensure the delegate is well equipped for the challenges of deploying secure Value-Added-Services over modern and advanced mobile communications systems.

Why you should attend this course?

  • List the services and content that are likely to be provided as operators evolve towards advanced and 4G network infrastructure and access speeds (including broadcast services)
  • Explain the role of partnerships between the operator an third party service providers – and the requirements this places on the network in terms of secure access
  • For each major service offering, discuss alternative delivery technologies – including capabilities and limitations of each, as well as the likely evolution 
  • Define Multi-Play and the Triple-Play/Quad-Play options
  • Create a diagrammatic representation of the advanced core network / EPS, correctly positioning each network element, and describing the functionality of each, as well as identifying key interfaces to service elements and associated systems
  • Describe the key security principles of modern networks, comparing legacy network solutions and their migration to next generation networks
  • Understand  end-to-end security considerations when deploying services over multiple network technologies, with several actors
  • List the standards organisations defining  the specifications for open & secure services on advanced networks, and reference appropriate specifications
  • Explain how access can be secured to convergence services, driven by migration to IMS infrastructure
  • Describe the key concepts of providing “trusted environments” for enabling NFC services
  • Define overall requirements for different mobile-TV implementations and associated secure delivery solutions
  • Identify the main features functionality of the new bread of security device aimed at personal TV and M2M type applications
