Wireless Industry Making Diameter Protocol More Secure, FCC Says

The protocol was a Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council focus, and carriers earlier say they are working with the agency and following best practices (see 2003120030). “We found widespread adoption across the industry, with implementation of these measures either completed or underway by most providers,” said Public Safety Bureau Chief Lisa Fowlkes.
