Abstract
The modern telecommunication is spread in every day live especially after 3G technologies and beyond. The traditional mass media (TV & Radio) stations has also influenced and get dramatic changes by the new information technologies. So the partnership between the carriers and the traditional media was Inevitable. Also contribution of the third party which called Mobile Value Added Service (MVAS) companies that works between the carriers and the traditional media as a joint support station, for both main parties. Value added services (VAS) in telecom is considered as a new financial source to the cellular companies beside its classical work (e.g. phone calls or fax). This type of services found its way to TV & Radio stations through the benefits from the huge audience or followers they got. One of the main VAS services is the SMS service, in which all the previous three parties try to get their share from the revenue. The security of SMS information is an important issue, to prevent the fabrication or changing the information flows between parties. This paper suggest and provide digital signature security method as a new mechanism that guaranties the security services concerned with SMS flows between all companions. Providing the SMS with the needed authentication and integrity to the weakest point in the flow scheme, which are the TV stations. The target is to overcoming the security threats for all partners, taking 3G component under consideration as the main new technology implemented in Iraq and Iraqia-TV station is taken as example.

The main objective of this paper is to show a new security proposal that can a sure the integrity and the authentication of the SMS flows between the cellular company and the Mobile Value Added Service (MVAS) company and the Iraqia-TV station, by using the digital signature mechanism inside MySQL database server
By applying Ciphering on SMS, electronic signatures applied to meet the requirements for integrity and transmitted signed encrypted SMS by using SHA-1 Algorithm& digital Signature algorithm based on the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), between client-server systems which provide services to citizens in mobile government as mobile application
Summary
Saad Abdalratha Makki and Hasan Kadhim Alsuwaiedi: Security of VAS-SMS Services in 3G, for TV & Radio Programs. Where the gathered short messages directed to MVAS company, which in turn, either do a manipulation on SMS messages or directed them directly to Iraqia-TV station to do the necessary processing, according to the TV show (wither it is a lottery show or else). All that flow of SMS data happened without any security mechanism, in any part of the three parties. Minimize the number of the total SMS messages by the carrier company. Forge or tamper in the content of some SMS messages by the carrier Company. The main objective of this paper is to show a new security proposal that can a sure the integrity and the authentication of the SMS flows between the cellular company and the MVAS company and the Iraqia-TV station, by using the digital signature mechanism inside MySQL database server
