"In this paper, we present a comprehensive layer two security
analysis and identify three attack vectors. These attacks impair
the confidentiality and/or privacy of LTE communication. [...]
Our experimental analysis demonstrates the real-world
applicability of all three attacks and emphasizes the threat of
open attack vectors on LTE layer two protocols."
