In order to understand the vulnerabiliti es of these networks\, we built a software radio testbed that models 4G LT E environments and developed a series of different cyber attacks to compro mise the LTE radio access network. Motivated by the fact that mobile netwo rks highly rely on control channel signaling\, we challenged the system pe rformance and availability by attacking individual LTE control channels an d signals. Moreover\, since user equipment (UEs) implicitly trust networks before the mutual authentication handshake is completed\, we tested the e ffect that fake base stations and fake signaling\, which we coin control c hannel spoofing\, have on the behavior UEs. After running numerous experim ents in controlled radio environments with standard compliant and mission critical LTE networks and commercial UEs we found that a number of radio f requency attacks can cause serious damage to the network performance and a vailability. One of the simplest\, yet most severe attacks that can cause denial of service is to transmit the LTE synchronization signals asynchron ously to those of legitimate networks. Fortunately\, there is a simple sol ution to this threat that all LTE UEs face. An important lesson learned fo r 5G development and deployment is that standards need to consider operati onal edge cases for which simple solutions may exist.\n\nCo-sponsored by: RIT's GCCIS PhD Program\n\nSpeaker(s): Vuk Marojevic\, \n\nAgenda: \n11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. -- Presentation\n\nNote: no advance registration requi red\n\nRIT visitor parking suggestions:\n\n1) Stop at the welcome center a nd obtain visitor parking permit -- [[Google map](https://goo.gl/maps/KzoC pa2kdF82)]\n\n2) Then park at Visitor Parking in the E-lot -- [[Google map ](https://www.google.com/maps/place/RIT+Parking+Lot+E/@43.0858309\,-77.677 4691\,18z/data=!4m14!1m8!3m7!1s0x0:0x0!2zNDPCsDA1JzA4LjMiTiA3N8KwNDAnNDcuM CJX!3b1!7e2!8m2!3d43.0856238!4d-77.6797202!3m4!1s0x89d14c8ab5d6bf75:0xf037 6fec83a74df7!8m2!3d43.0868023!4d-77.6761783)]\n\nAdditional Links:\n\nIEEE meeting entry : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/202917\n\nCS/CIS website / venue info: http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/rochester/computer/\n\nVenue website : https://www.rit.edu/fa/gallery/\n\nflyer (printable): http://ewh.ieee.or g/r1/rochester/computer/2019/20190830/Marojevic.20190830.pdf\n\nRoom: Univ ersity Gallery\, Bldg: James E.
