Abstract: During the past decades, infrastructure of wireless communication and the services being offered by the wireless networks have been proliferating in order to meet the rapidly increasing demands. In <30 years, Mobile technology has come a long way or in layman’s words we have seen transition from bulky mobile phones and a budding internet to a world of super-slim smart phones that can transmit and store data as well as provides us facility of internet with a simple tap. Today, the world is so much dependent on mobile technology that it is being used for online banking which involves password sharing and much more confidential data is transmitted through these wireless links. Therefore, maintaining security of the information being shared through mobile phones is of paramount importance. Although, mobile phones offers better internet connectivity and numerous other advantages but on the other hand there are lots of security risks which are matter of concern for both users as well as service providers. This study, investigates various vulnerabilities and security threats in mobile communications (2-4G) and presents proficient defense mechanisms to improve the security of wireless networks.
