Over the last few decades, mobile systems have become essential for users to perform their daily tasks. This has led to the rapid evolution of wireless technologies, including the second generation (2G), third generation (3G), and fourth generation (4G) for mobile networks, to ubiquitously spread mobile telecommunication services (Seddigh et al. 2010). The 4G wireless technology has recently coined for improving broadband performance and allowing multimedia programs. Consequently, its architectures and standards have considerably enhanced to transfer higher data rates than 2G and 4G. Meanwhile, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) has evolved to become one of the effective technologies that accomplish the 4G wireless performance goals (Shaik et al. 2015).Due to the high performances of 4G/LTE mobile devices, the LTE subscribers are expected to be about 3.16 billion by the end of 2018 (Statista 2018). There are various technological advances that 4G/LTE wireless networks provide when compared to earlier technologies. Firstly, 4G/LTE mobile systems work perfectly by utilizing the TCP/IP model. This, in fact, decreases financial and computational costs, where portable devices can connect to the Internet using an Internet Protocol (IP) without any constraints to previously closed cellular configurations. Nevertheless, with the wide variety of communication protocols included in the TCP/IP model, 4G/LTE wireless networks face multiple security and privacy issues (Seddigh et al. 2010; Shaik et al. 2015). The key issues for securing 4G/LTE wireless networks can be summarized into three aspects. Firstly, mobile devices can flexibly access the Internet from any location and are therefore vulnerable to being hacked by different advanced persistent threats (APT). Secondly, while mobile IP-based systems are regularly updated with cryptographic and security mechanisms, there is an effect on their performance and traffic processing capacity that requires secure and upgraded wireless standards and architectures. Finally, although vendors are producing new generations of 4G/LTE technologies, they do not regularly develop new standards to mitigate vulnerabilities and deter growing cyber APT (Seddigh et al. 2010; Shaik et al. 2015; Li et al. 2018).
