Algorithm-based anonymous customer references

摘要

A system and methodology that facilitates management and utilization of domain-specific anonymous customer references (ACRs) for protecting subscriber privacy across different domains is disclosed herein. In one aspect, on receiving user authorization, an ACR services (ACRS) component can generate an ACR that is to be inserted in a communication or message transmitted from a user equipment to an untrusted entity. The ACR can be generated based on address data associated with the untrusted entity and/or a unique subscriber identifier associated with the user equipment. As an example, the ACR creation component can generate the ACR based on a cryptographic hash, a static encryption key, and/or a dynamic encryption key. If the ACR is forwarded to a trusted entity, the trusted entity can calculate the unique subscriber identifier based on evaluating the ACR and/or exchange the ACR for the unique subscriber identifier via a secure communication with the ACRS component.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving, via a network device of a telecommunication network, a message sent from a user equipment and directed to a device of an untrusted entity, the user equipment being authenticated to the network device of the telecommunication network using a static identifier associated with the user equipment;assigning a domain-specific first anonymous customer reference to the static identifier;inserting the domain-specific first anonymous customer reference into the message resulting in an updated message;facilitating a transmission of the updated message to the device of the untrusted entity;receiving a request for a second anonymous customer reference; andbased on determining that the second anonymous customer reference is a valid anonymous customer reference, transmitting the second anonymous customer reference to a network gateway device of the telecommunication network.
