Abstract

Telecommunications fraud, already a major threat in currently specialized networks for voice and data traffic, is expected to increase in upcoming converged networks referred to as Next-Generation Networks (NGNs). Due to some of their key characteristics, such as being based on the Internet Protocol, NGNs create new challenges for effective fraud detection. Besides, as they enable the provision of innovative services, NGNs may also give rise to new fraud scenarios that cannot be addressed by existing fraud management systems (FMS) as these systems are highly service-specific. More appropriate tools are therefore needed for improved NGN fraud detection.

This paper presents our work-in-progress on designing an FMS suitable for NGNs. The paper provides suggestions on the design of an FMS model to address NGN fraud detection.
