+% Structuring a talk is a difficult task and the following structure

+% solution: 
+
+% - Exactly two or three sections (other than the summary).
+% - At *most* three subsections per section.
+% - Talk about 30s to 2min per frame. So there should be between about
+%   15 and 30 frames, all told.
+
+% - A conference audience is likely to know very little of what you
+%   are going to talk about. So *simplify*!
+% - In a 20min talk, getting the main ideas across is hard
+%   enough. Leave out details, even if it means being less precise than
+%   you think necessary.
+% - If you omit details that are vital to the proof/implementation,
+%   just say so once. Everybody will be happy with that.

+\section{GSM/3G security}
+
+\begin{frame}{GSM/3G protocol security}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Observation
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Both GSM/3G and TCP/IP protocol specs are publicly available
+		\item The Internet protocol stack (Ethernet/Wifi/TCP/IP) receives lots of scrutiny
+		\item GSM networks are as widely deployed as the Internet
+		\item Yet, GSM/3G protocols receive no such scrutiny!
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item There are reasons for that:
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item GSM industry is extremely closed (and closed-minded)
+		\item Only about 4 closed-source protocol stack implementations
+		\item GSM chipset makers never release any hardware documentation
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{The closed GSM industry}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{Handset manufacturing side}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Only very few companies build GSM/3.5G baseband chips today
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Those companies buy the operating system kernel and the protocol stack from third parties
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Only very few handset makers are large enough to become a customer
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Even they only get limited access to hardware documentation
+		\item Even they never really get access to the firmware source
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{Network manufacturing side}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Only very few companies build GSM network equipment
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Basically only Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent and Huawei
+		\item Exception: Small equipment manufacturers for picocell / nanocell / femtocells / measurement devices and law enforcement equipment
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Only operators buy equipment from them
+	\item Since the quantities are low, the prices are extremely high
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item e.g. for a BTS, easily 10-40k EUR
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{Operator side}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Operators are mainly banks today
+	\item Typical operator outsources
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Network planning / deployment / servicing
+		\item Even Billing!
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Operator just knows the closed equipment as shipped by manufacturer
+	\item Very few people at an operator have knowledge of the protocol beyond what's needed for operations and maintenance
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{GSM is more than phone calls}
+Listening to phone calls is boring...
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item BMW can unlock/open your car via GSM
+		\item Alarm systems often report via GSM
+		\item Smart Metering (Utility companies)
+		\item GSM-R / European Train Control System
+		\item Vending machines report that their cash box is full
+		\item Control if wind-mills supply power into the grid
+		\item Transaction numbers for electronic banking
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{Security implications}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{Security implications}
+The security implications of the closed GSM industry are:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Almost no people who have detailed technical knowledge outside the protocol stack or GSM network equipment manufacturers
+	\item No independent research on protocol-level security
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item If there's security research at all, then only theoretical (like the A5/2 and A5/1 cryptanalysis)
+		\item Or on application level (e.g. mobile malware)
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item No open source protocol implementations
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item which are key for making more people learn about the protocols
+		\item which enable quick prototyping/testing by modifying existing code
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{My self-proclaimed mission}
+Mission: Bring TCP/IP/Internet security knowledge to GSM
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Create tools to enable independent/public IT Security community to examine GSM
+	\item Try to close the estimated 10 year gap between the state of security technology on the Internet vs. GSM networks
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Industry thinks in terms of {\em walled garden} and {\em phones behaving like specified}
+		\item No proper incident response strategies!
+		\item No packet filters, firewalls, intrusion detection on GSM protocol level
+		\item General public assumes GSM networks are safer than Internet
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{The closed GSM industry}{Areas of interest for Security research}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Specification problems
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Encryption optional, weak and only on the Um interface
+		\item Lack of mutual authentication
+		\item Silent calls for pin-pointing a phone
+		\item RRLP and SUPL to obtain GPS coordinates of phone
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Implementation problems
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item TMSI information leak on network change
+		\item TLV parsers that have never seen invalid packets
+		\item Obscure options in spec lead to rarely-tested/used code paths
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Operation problems
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item VLR overflow leading to paging-by-IMSI
+		\item TMSI re-allocation too infrequent
+		\item Networks/Cells without frequency hopping
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Security analysis of GSM}{How would you get started?}
+If you were to start with GSM protocol level security analysis, where and
+how would you start?
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item On the network side?
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Difficult since equipment is not easily available and normally extremely expensive
+		\item However, network is very modular and has many standardized/documented interfaces
+		\item Thus, if BTS equipment is available, much easier/faster progress
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Result: Started project OpenBSC in 10/2008
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Security analysis of GSM}{How would you get started?}
+If you were to start with GSM protocol level security analysis, where and
+how would you start?
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item On the handset side?
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Difficult since GSM firmware and protocol stacks are closed and proprietary
+		\item Even if you want to write your own protocol stack, the layer 1 hardware and signal processing is closed and undocumented, too
+		\item Publicly known attempts (12/2009)
+		\begin{itemize}
+			\item The TSM30 project as part of the THC GSM project
+			\item mados, an alternative OS for Nokia DTC3 phones
+		\end{itemize}
+		\item none of those projects have been successful
+		\item Result: Started project OsmocomBB in 01/2010
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Security analysis of GSM}{The bootstrapping process}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Start to read GSM specs (> 1000 PDF documents)
+	\item Gradually grow knowledge about the protocols
+	\item Obtain actual GSM network equipment (BTS)
+	\item Try to get actual protocol traces as examples
+	\item Start a complete protocol stack implementation from scratch
+	\item Finally, go and play with GSM protocol security

+Presentation Proposal for ELCE 2010
+
+Name of Presenter: Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>
+
+Title: Running your own GSM+GPRS network using OpenBSC, OsmoSGSN and OpenGGSN
+
+Presentation may be published: Yes
+Presentation may be video-recorded + published: Yes
+
+Brief Abstract:
+
+Considering how ubiquitous Free Software is in the area of Internet networking
+is, there has been surprisingly little Free Software in the area of GSM standards
+based cellular networking.   In the last two years, project OpenBSC was developed
+to change this.  It implements the neccessarry signalling protocol stack and
+provide a miniature "GSM network in a box" application for small networks,
+replacing traditional BSC, MSC, HLR, EIR and SMSC.
+
+Using the recently-developed OsmoSGSN and the existing OpenGGSN software, this
+GSM network can be extended by the neccessarry components to also provide
+packet-switched data services like GPRS and EDGE(EGPRS).
+
+The presentation will introduce the software architecture and give a
+practical demonstration.
+
+
+Misc Notes:
+
+The demonstration requires an experimental/test license from the UK regulatory
+body OFCOM.  I will provide all neccessary technical data to acquire this
+license.

+\begin{frame}{OpenBSC: How it all started}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item In 2006, I bought a Siemens BS-11 microBTS on eBay
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item This is GSM900 BTS with 2 TRX at 2W output power (each)
+		\item A 48kg monster with attached antenna
+		\item 200W power consumption, passive cooling
+		\item E1 physical interface
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item I didn't have much time at the time (day job at Openmoko)
+	\item Started to read up on GSM specs whenever I could
+	\item Bought a HFC-E1 based PCI E1 controller, has mISDN kernel support
+	\item Found somebody in the GSM industry who provided protocol traces
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{OpenBSC: Timeline}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item November 2008: I started the development of OpenBSC
+	\item December 2008: we did a first demo at 25C3
+	\item January 2009: we had full voice call support
+	\item Q1/2009: Add support for ip.access nanoBTS
+	\item June 2009: I started with actual security related stuff
+	\item August 2009: We had the first field test with 2BTS and > 860 phones
+	\item Q1/2010: The first 25 OpenBSC instances running in a commercial network

+	\item Run a small GSM network with 1-n BTS and OpenBSC
+	\item No need for MSC/HLR/AUC/...
+	\item No need for your own SIM cards (unless crypto/auth rqd)
+	\item Establish signalling and voice channels 
+	\item Make incoming and outgoing voice calls between phones
+	\item Send/receive SMS between phones
+	\item Connect to ISDN PBX or public ISDN via Linux Call Router
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{OpenBSC in NITB mode}{Network In a Box Mode}
+The {\tt bsc\_hack} program
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item does not implement any other GSM interfaces apart from A-bis
+	\item no SS7 / TCAP / MAP based protocols
+	\item no integration (roaming) with existing traditional GSM networks
+	\item wired telephony interfacing with ISDN PBX {\tt lcr} (Linux Call Router)
+	\item Has been tested with up to 800 subscribers on 5 BTS
+	\item Intended for R\&D use or private PBX systems
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{OpenBSC LCR integration}{Interfacing with wired telephony}
+OpenBSC (NITB mode) can be linked into Linux Call Router ({\tt lcr})
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item OpenBSC is compiled as libbsc.a
+	\item libbsc.a includes full OpenBSC NITB mod code
+	\item linking the library into {\tt lcr} results in GSM {\em line interfaces} to become available inside {\tt lcr}
+	\item OpenBSC no longer takes care of call control, but simply hands everything off to {\tt lcr}
+	\item Dialling plan, etc. is now configure in {\tt lcr} like for any other wired phones
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\subsection{OpenBSC BSC-only mode}
+
+\begin{frame}{OpenBSC in BSC-only mode}
+The {\tt osmo-bsc} program
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item behaves like a classic GSM BSC
+	\item uses SCCP-Lite (ip.access multipex) to any SoftMSC like ADC
+	\item used in production/commercial deployments (~ 75 BSCs)
+	\item mainly intended to replace proprietary BSC in traditional GSM networks

+\begin{frame}{A GSM phone baseband processor}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item GSM protocol stack always runs in a so-called baseband processor (BP)
+	\item What is the baseband processor
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Typically ARM7 (2G/2.5G phones) or ARM9 (3G/3.5G phones)
+		\begin{itemize}
+			\item Runs some RTOS (often Nucleus, sometimes L4)
+			\item No memory protection between tasks
+		\end{itemize}
+		\item Some kind of DSP, model depends on vendor
+		\begin{itemize}
+			\item Runs the digital signal processing for the RF Layer 1
+			\item Has hardware peripherals for A5 encryption
+		\end{itemize}
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item The software stack on the baseband processor
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item is written in C and assembly
+		\item lacks any modern security features (stack protection, non-executable pages, address space randomization, ..)
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}

+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Requirements for GSM security analysis}
+What do we need for protocol-level security analysis?
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item A GSM MS-side baseband chipset under our control
+	\item A Layer1 that we can use to generate arbitrary L1 frames
+	\item A Layer2 protocol implementation that we can use + modify
+	\item A Layer3 protocol implementation that we can use + modify
+\end{itemize}
+None of those components existed, so we need to create them!
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{A GSM baseband under our control}
+The two different DIY approaches
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Build something using generic components (DSP, CPU, ADC, FPGA)
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item No reverse engineering required
+		\item A lot of work in hardware design + debugging
+		\item Hardware will be low-quantity and thus expensive
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Build something using existing baseband chipset
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Reverse engineering or leaked documents required
+		\item Less work on the 'Layer 0'
+		\item Still, custom hardware in low quantity
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{A GSM baseband under our control}
+Alternative 'lazy' approach
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Re-purpose existing mobile phone
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Hardware is known to be working
+		\item No prototyping, hardware revisions, etc.
+		\item Reverse engineering required
+		\item Hardware drivers need to be written
+		\item But: More time to focus on the actual job: Protocol software
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Searching for suitable phones
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item As cheap as possible
+		\item Readily available: Many people can play with it
+		\item As old/simple as possible to keep complexity low
+		\item Baseband chipset with lots of leaked information
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Baseband chips with leaked information}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Texas Instruments Calypso
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item DBB Documentation on cryptome.org and other sites
+		\item ABB Documentation on Chinese phone developer websites
+		\item Source code of GSM stack / drivers was on sf.net (tsm30 project)
+		\item End of life, no new phones with Calypso since about 2008
+		\item No cryptographic checks in bootloader
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item Mediatek MT622x chipsets
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Lots of Documentation on Chinese sites
+		\item SDK with binary-only GSM stack libraries on Chinese sites
+		\item 95 million produced/sold in Q1/2010
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+Initial choice: TI Calypso (GSM stack source available)
