Abstract
Methods and systems for management of subscriber identities associated with user devices are described herein. The user device may enroll the user device to a server and lock a subscriber identity associated with the device by setting a password on the subscriber identity. If a credential entered by a user is verified, the subscriber identity associated with the device may be unlocked. Alternatively, the user device may retrieve one or more identities associated with the user, the user device and/or the subscriber identity. A server may register the one or more identities with a database. If the user device sends a request to connect to the network, the server may verify the one or more identities retrieved by the user device to determine whether to grant access from the user device to the network.
