The modern telecommunication is spread in every day live especially after 3G technologies and beyond. The traditional mass media (TV & Radio) stations has also influenced and get dramatic changes by the new information technologies. So the partnership between the carriers and the traditional media was Inevitable. Also contribution of the third party which called Mobile Value Added Service (MVAS) companies that works between the carriers and the traditional media as a joint support station, for both main parties. Value added services (VAS) in telecom is considered as a new financial source to the cellular companies beside its classical work (e.g. phone calls or fax). This type of services found its way to TV & Radio stations through the benefits from the huge audience or followers they got. One of the main VAS services is the SMS service, in which all the previous three parties try to get their share from the revenue. The security of SMS information is an important issue, to prevent the fabrication or changing the information flows between parties. This paper suggest and provide digital signature security method as a new mechanism that guaranties the security services concerned with SMS flows between all companions. Providing the SMS with the needed authentication and integrity to the weakest point in the flow scheme, which are the TV stations. The target is to overcoming the security threats for all partners, taking 3G component under consideration as the main new technology implemented in Iraq and Iraqia-TV station is taken as example.

“…We are currently implementing our framework atop the OpenFlow protocol leveraging our prior work on secure SMS transmission [12]. The most expensive cryptographic operation used in the scenario proposed here is the computation of the pairing function, which is used in the handshaking and key agreement procedures.…”

Abstract-This paper proposes a novel approach to capacity sharing in hybrid networked environments, i.e., environments that consist of infrastructure-based as well as infrastructureless networks. The proposed framework is based on SoftwareDefined Networking (SDN) and provides flexible, efficient, and secure capacity sharing solutions in a variety of hybrid network scenarios. In this paper, we describe the challenges raised by capacity sharing in hybrid networks, describe our framework in detail and how it addresses these challenges, and discuss implementation issues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first SDN-based capacity sharing solution that targets hybrid networks and that incorporates security as an integral part of the proposed approach.

“…For instance, Dominicini (DOMINICINI, 2012) proposed a user-centric approach for sharing data using the Web, which allows patients to share their medical records among trusted institutions from their mobile phones. Another example proposed by Pereira et al (PEREIRA et al, 2013), which implements a solution that guarantees security and integrity in the transmission of SMS messages. The SMS technology is simple but extremely effective for tracking treatment compliance, quite important for diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.…”

A security framework for mobile health data collection.

Mobile health (mHealth) can be defined as the practice of medicine and public health supported by mobile computing technologies, such as mobile phones, PDAs, tablets, sensors and other wireless devices. Particularly in the case of mobile phones, there has been a significant increase in the number of lines, equipment, and network infrastructure in Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), allowing the adoption of mHealth systems efficiently. There are now several cases of systems for data collection focused on primary care, health surveillance and epidemiological research, which were adopted in these countries. Such systems provide health care managers information with higher quality and in a shorter time, which in turn improves their ability to plan actions and respond to emergencies. However, security is not included among the main requirements of such systems. Aiming to address this issue, we developed a survey about mHealth applications and research initiatives in Brazil, which shows that a reasonable number of papers only briefly (13%) or simply do not mention (40%) their security requirements. This survey also provides a discussion about the current state-of-art of Brazilian mHealth researches, including the main types of applications, target users, devices employed and the research barriers identified. After that, we present the SecourHealth, a security framework for mHealth data collection applications. SecourHealth was designed to cope with six main security requirements: support user registration and authentication mechanisms; treat network disconnections and delays; provide a secure data storage-even in case of possible theft or loss of equipment; allow secure data exchange between the device and server; enabling device sharing between users (i.e., health workers); and allow trade-offs between security, performance and usability. This thesis also describes in detail the framework modeling and development steps showing how it was integrated into an application for the Android platform. Finally, we benchmarked the cryptographic algorithms implemented, when compared to the overhead of using HTTPS protocol.
