Due to the complex nature of mobile communication systems, most of the security e orts in its domain are isolated and sca ered across underlying technologies. is has resulted in an obscure view of the overall security. In this work, we a empt to x this problem by proposing a domain-speci c threat modeling framework. By gleaning from a diverse and large body of security literature, we systematically organize the a acks on mobile communications into various tactics and techniques. Our framework is designed to model adversarial behavior in terms of its a ack phases and to be used as a common taxonomy matrix. We also provide concrete examples of using the framework for modeling the a acks individually and comparing them with similar ones.
