Summary

This Recommendation introduces a new IPCablecom2 Recommendation to define the security architecture for the UMTS network domain IP‑based control plane. The scope of the UMTS network domain control plane security is to cover the control signalling on selected interfaces between UMTS network elements.

The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed the specification in a form optimized for the wireless environment. This Recommendation references the ETSI version of the 3GPP specification and specifies only the modifications necessary to optimize it for the cable environment.
