Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the Data IMEI Security Profiles feature is to provide the ability to control the use of data services based on the Security Profile and its White- and Blacklist content.

Out of scope

Validation of the entries in the White- and Blacklist are valid entries and do not conflict with or contradict each other.

Functionality of the feature

Data IMEI Lock Security Profiles allow or block data services to a SIM by referencing a device’s IMEI number with the Access List of the White-/Blacklist.

Restrictions can be determined from Whitelist, Blacklist, or both, and service will be allowed or blocked based on whether the Security Profile has a Whitelist, a Blacklist, or both defined, and the content of these lists.

For data, the Security Policy defines the list of authorized devices by full IMEI or partial IMEI (e.g. TAC) in which the SIM can use data services.

Data IMEI Lock Security Profiles will only be checked for data sessions.

Note:

The above statement assumes that the Service Profile assigned to the SIM allows 2G/3G and/or 4G Data.

Since not every SIM and/or Account requires a Security Profile, all SIMs and/or Accounts that do not have a Security Profile assigned are allowed to use data services without any restrictions.

Note:

Even though the SIM and/or Account does not have a Security Profile assigned, it is subject to the assigned Service Profile, Roaming Profile, Price Plan, etc., which can also lead to restrictions in regard to using data services.
