Omar Chowdhury has returned from The Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS); below is a selection of news coverage of his collaborative paper entitled "LTEInspector: A Systematic Approach for Adversarial Testing of 4G LTE:"
- NDSS 2018: Automating the Process of Vulnerability Discovery | Internet Society | February, 20 2018: "In his paper [...] Syed Hussain (with co-authors Omar Chowdhury, Shagufta Mehnaz and Elisa Bertino) also employs a model-based testing approach to uncover 10 new attacks against the three fundamental protocol operations of the 4G LTE protocol (attach, detach and paging). [...] As the dependence of modern society on Internet and cellular technologies continues to grow, this kind of work is crucial to help us move beyond the ‘whack-a-mole’ response to security vulnerabilities we’re familiar with."
