  Due to the complex nature of mobile communication systems, most of the
security efforts in its domain are isolated and scattered across underlying
technologies. This has resulted in an obscure view of the overall security. In
this work, we attempt to fix this problem by proposing a domain-specific threat
modeling framework. By gleaning from a diverse and large body of security
literature, we systematically organize the attacks on mobile communications
into various tactics and techniques. Our framework is designed to model
adversarial behavior in terms of its attack phases and to be used as a common
taxonomy matrix. We also provide concrete examples of using the framework for
modeling the attacks individually and comparing them with similar ones.
