A system, apparatus, and method for performing terminal address translation, and more particularly for identifying addresses of mobile terminals in a mobile network in order to communicate messages with the mobile terminals. Messages (300) are received from a service consumer (202) at a pseudonymity proxy (200) operable within the mobile network (114), where the message (300) includes an information exchange message (306) including a pseudonym (310, 312, 314) locally identifying a target mobile terminal (204). The pseudonym (310, 312, 314) is translated into an address of the target mobile terminal (204) unknown to the service consumer (202). The information exchange message (306) is forwarded from the pseudonymity proxy (200) to the address of the target mobile terminal (204). |
