Abstract

The communication standard Long Term Evolution (LTE) developed by 3GPP is becoming the mainstream technology of the next generation mobile communication, the new features meet the business needs and improve the user experience, but also bring some security threats. In this paper, we introduce the LTE roaming architecture, the attach procedure and the DNS resolution procedure. Then we analyze that MME initiate the DNS request before the authentication is completed based on the procedures and OpenAirInterface (OAI) code, which will lead to a large load on DNS server, this scheme is very vulnerable to DoS/DDoS attacks on DNS server. Finally, according to the characteristics of LTE, we propose a enhancement scheme in MME and analyze the feasibility.
