Hi guys,
Please, let me introduce myself. My name is Manuel Munoz, Computer Scientist, looking for a topic for my project/undergrad thesis at Universidad de Leon, Spain. I am evaluating these days the possibility to do something interesting which could be used as my project and also to put my bit for the OpenGGSN project.
Some more about me. I am 36, have been working for +10 years in IT (sysadmin, php developer, plsql developer, datacenters...). I can speak English and Spanish and hold a 3 years bachelor degree. Not long ago I worked for two years for providers of 2G/3G network monitoring systems, so I have some knowledge about those topics. Also quite fluent in C, wireshark, unix scripting...
This weekend I have been doing a quick research and refreshing my mind about both security and mobile networks, and also took a look to OpenGGSN code.
Long story short, what about me implementing IPSec for GTP-C in OpenGGSN? Do you think it could be useful? Feasible?
3GPP Protect GTP signalling messages by IPSec ( http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/wg3_security/TSGS3_14_Oslo/Docs/PDF/S3-000421... ) 3GPP Use IPSec to secure GTP messages ( http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/wg3_security/tsgs3_13_yokohama/docs/PDF/S3-00... )
Maybe some other security-oriented feature you want to be implemented?
I would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for your time, Manuel
