network security breaches
Can data be snooped in the air on a cellular (eg, Cingular) network? Is it any more or less secure than WiFi?
Let’s assume that the connecting PC is running a proper firewall, so the concern here is not so much a direct attack on the PC’s ports (although that is of course possible to breach as it would be for any directly connected system) but rather the security of the data as it is transmitted in the air. Is there a reasonable expectation of privacy, or can someone with proper equipment snoop on every connection, similar to shared Ethernet? Or does someone need special information to know how to access a particular party’s connection, such as one would do to physically tap into a switched Ethernet connection? Or is this just not practical, and we needn’t be more concerned with a cellular network than we would with a dial-up connection? In particular, I’m interested in the security of Cingular’s 3G and EDGE networks, but it is an interesting general question for other providers networks.
the cost of the equipment needed to sniff secured wireless transmissions is very, very expensive and most is not available for sale to the general public.
