  • Patent number: 10863353
    Abstract: Method and arrangement for detecting subscriber identity. The method includes: capturing in a fake base station at least one wireless message transmitted from a mobile subscriber apparatus interoperable with a mobile phone system; detecting an encrypted subscriber identity from the at least one captured wireless message; and retrieving an unencrypted subscriber identity from an entity inside an infrastructure of the mobile phone system based on the encrypted subscriber identity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9479406
    Abstract: This document discloses a solution for outputting a message sequence chart in a computer apparatus. Messages transferred in a communication network are acquired, wherein the messages are logically divided into control plane messages and data plane messages and each message is associated with its transmission direction. Display of the control plane messages is caused on a display screen in the message sequence chart and in a form where each control plane message is displayed together with a unidirectional indicator indicating the transmission direction of the control plane message. Display of the data plane messages is caused in the message sequence chart in a compressed form with a single multidirectional indicator representing a plurality of data plane messages and indicating the transmission directions of the plurality of data plane messages.

  • Publication number: 20150373773
    Abstract: A key server monitors and captures exchanges of the cipher keys and temporary identity mappings that happen in the devices under test in a wireless communications network. A measurement arrangement and measurement method utilize the key server. At the same time to traffic analyzer captures ciphered signaling messages from the interfaces of the network devices that are under test. The traffic analyzer does not try to decipher captured signaling messages on the fly. The traffic analyzer deciphers the captured signaling messages as an off-line process as post processing.

  • Publication number: 20100211675
    Abstract: An arrangement and method for analysing the data transferred in communications networks. The fact that though the amount of user plane traffic and data is increasing fast, the amount of signalling traffic is hardly increasing at all, is utilised. In the present system the analysis of the user plane and the control plane is done separately in user plane analysis appliance (206) and protocol analyser (204). The separate analysis results are then combined by certain criteria and the combined data is shown. An at least nearly real-time network data analysis is possible also in the networks with high speed traffic.
