Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the Voice Security Profiles feature is to provide a new Voice type of Security Profile functionality and extend the current mechanism for managing Security Profiles, Whitelists, and Blacklists with Voice support. The new Voice Security Profiles provide the ability to control the making and receiving of Voice calls based on the Security Profile and its White- and Blacklist content.

Additionally, the aim is to trigger an automation rule upon receiving a Kafka notification when the result of the Security Profile check is to block service.

Out of scope

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

Functionality of the feature

Voice Security Profiles use the same concept and rules as the existing SMS and Data Security Profiles.

Voice Security Profiles allow or block incoming or outgoing Voice Calls by referencing the MSISDN 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 defines and the content of these lists.

For Voice, the Security Policy defines which numbers/shortcodes the SIM can make/receive Voice calls to/from:

• MO White- and Blacklists define the numbers/number ranges/shortcodes the SIM can make calls to, and

• MT White- and Blacklists define the numbers/number ranges/shortcodes the SIM can receive calls from.

Voice Security Profiles will only be checked for Voice sessions.

Note:

The above statement assumes that the Service Profile assigned to the SIM allows MO and/or MT Voice calls.

International barring will be achieved through the Whitelist of the Security Profile only allowing Voice call from and to the home country.

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 make and receive Voice calls 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 regards to making and receiving Voice calls.
