  • Method and system for identifying malicious messages in mobile communication networks, related network and computer program product therefor
    Patent number: 8443446
    Abstract: A system for identifying malicious messages transmitted over a mobile communication network includes: sentinel modules associated with respective mobile terminals in the network for monitoring messages passing therethrough, wherein the sentinel modules identify as a candidate malicious message, any message passing through the mobile terminals and failing to comply with a first set of patterns and issue a corresponding sentinel identification message; a set of probe modules for monitoring messages transmitted over the network, wherein the probe modules identify as a candidate malicious message any message transmitted over the network and failing to comply with a second set of patterns and issue a corresponding probe identification message; and preferably at least one client honeypot module for receiving and processing any messages sent thereto to produce corresponding processing results, wherein the client honeypot module identifies as a candidate malicious message any message producing a processing result fai

  • Method and system for detecting attacks in wireless data communications networks
    Patent number: 8369830
    Abstract: A method of detecting attacks in a wireless data communications network, includes: monitoring wireless traffic over the wireless data communications network; deriving a first network state from the monitored wireless traffic; acquiring trusted information indicative of a wireless network state from at least one apparatus of a network infrastructure; establishing a second network state based on the acquired trusted information; comparing the derived first network state with the second network state, and determining a wireless network attack in case of incoherence between the derived first network state compared to the second network state.
