Abstract
A device may monitor traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network. The device may determine an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces. The identity may uniquely identify a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic. The device may determine a set of elements to be used to decipher the traffic after determining the identity associated with the UE or the traffic. The device may decipher the traffic utilizing the set of elements after determining the set of elements.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a device, traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network;
- determining, by the device, an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces,
- wherein the identity uniquely identifies a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic;
- determining, by the device, a set of elements to be used to decipher the traffic after determining the identity associated with the UE or the traffic;
- and
- deciphering, by the device, the traffic utilizing the set of elements after determining the set of elements.
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- monitor traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network;
- correlate identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces after monitoring the traffic;
- determine an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces based on correlating the identifiers,
- wherein the identity uniquely identifies a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic;
- determine a set of elements to be used to decipher the traffic after determining the identity associated with the UE or the traffic;
- and
- decipher the traffic utilizing the set of elements after determining the set of elements.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- monitor traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network;
- correlate identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces after monitoring the traffic;
- determine an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces based on correlating the identifiers,
- wherein the identity uniquely identifies a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic;
- and
- determine a set of elements to be used to decipher the traffic after determining the identity associated with the UE or the traffic.
