.
It doesn't appear easy to take in the mobile telephone technical standards and that the numerous standards that are out there add an additional layer of perceived complexity.
.
To address this particular matter and demonstrate that dealing with technical standards is far easier than is imagined, as part of the presentation at the Seminar on GSM Standards, diagrams will be shown that reference common elements dealt with during examination. The diagrams are to demonstrate that it is far easier to address technical issues starting with a GSM perspective than it is jumping in at the deep end trying to understand 3G and work backwards.
.
One of the illustrations to be presented at the Seminar (shown below) relates to UICC with SIM and USIM environments. At the Seminar the illustration will be completed with identification of the relevant technical standards that should ease perceived complexity issues with UICC with SIM/USIM environment using this identification process.
.
.
UICC with SIM/USIM environments there are over 80 standards that can be referred to, but an examiner only need start with knowing approximately 20 technical standards at first instance and then expand into the other standards. Be sure of what I am saying here. You need to know the standards that exist and have a copy. Reading standards is not though a matter the Seminar will be addressing, but some helpful tips will be provided.
.
With GSM SIM there are over 40 standards that can be referred to, but knowing approximately 8 technical standards to start with can help kick start getting to the other standards and the realisation that dealing with technical standards need not be a daunting task at all, particularly as acquiring majority of the standards are free, as well.

It is clear that associated with mobile phone examination to obtain evidence that examiners must read the GSM Standards to understand the data evidence and whether the devices used acquire the data. The concern amongst examiners still exists because there are so many Standards current and historical and each providing variations on obtaining evidence and interpretation that it is a daunting task to know where to start. Would it be worth having a one-day seminar in the UK to go through the GSM Standards. Standards can change 2-3 times a year and presenting the information at a seminar would assist in getting across important facts and guide through how to get to the appropriate information in them. I wont be charging for my time to prepare the presentation and present the findings.
.
So that delegates can attend free of charge I am also looking for:
.
1) Sponsor (to pay) for the Seminar room/hall
2) A location must be near to a central train station (not requiring loads of train changes)
3) Sponsor (to pay) for the teas/coffee and sandwiches etc
4) Exhibitors at the Seminar
.
Can you send some feedback whether you are interested in attending or sponsoring.

UPDATE: Seminar on GSM Standards

Objectives

Upon completion of the seminar, the participant should:


• Understand the GSM Standards development and legal references

• Be aware of GSM system standards relevant to the examination or investigation

• Have an awareness of GSM interfaces to comprehend symbiotic relationships for call/data tracing

• To know where to look to attribute identity conventions

• Know availability of standards

There are five presentation modules:

1) Introduction

2) GSM System Standards

3) GSM Specified Interfaces (10 + 1)

4) Identifier Conventions

5) Access to Standards
