Abstract
Subscriber identity concealment from an access network provider may be provided. A computing device may receive first identity data associated with a client device. Then the first identity data associated with the client device may be encrypted using second identity data to create an encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device. The encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device may be provided to an access network.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, first identity data associated with a client device;
- encrypting the first identity data associated with the client device using second identity data to create an encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device;
- and
- providing the encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device to an access network.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- receive first identity data associated with a client device;
- encrypt the first identity data associated with the client device using second identity data to create an encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device;
- and
- provide the encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device to an access network.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, first identity data associated with a client device;
- encrypting the first identity data associated with the client device using second identity data to create an encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device;
- and
- providing the encrypted version of the first identity data associated with the client device to an access network.
