Abstract

Privacy management techniques for communication systems are provided. In one or more methods, one or more cryptographic key pairs are provisioned in a home network of a communication system for utilization by subscribers of the home network to conceal subscriber identifiers provided to access points in the communication system. The cryptographic key pairs are managed utilizing an element or function in the home network of the communication system. In one or more other methods, one or more public keys associated with one or more cryptographic key pairs are stored in user equipment, the cryptographic key pairs being provisioned by a home network of a communication system for use by subscribers of the home network to conceal subscriber identifiers provided to access points in the communication network. An element or function of the home network of the communication system is interfaced for management of the public keys stored in the user equipment.
