- 3. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Agenda • Identification for mobile phones • Digital certificates • Implementation • Use cases
- 4. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Phone ID • IMEI • SIM (UUIC) -> IMEI • OTP process may use IMEI • Global ID provided by mobile OS • How to present this information outside of telecom?
- 5. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Digital Certificate • Phone identification (1) • Owner identification (2) • The link for (1) & (2) • Mobile app creates certificate • Web site with search form • API for access to Certificates DB
- 6. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Digital Certificates • Phone ID: IMEI + Android ID • Owner ID: Link to social profile • DB records: Phone ID & Owner ID • Search via Phone ID and/or Owner ID • Add data only interface • There are no delete/update operations
- 7. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Social profiles • We do not need a “yet another login” system • Social profile lets us avoid “personal data” deal • It is scalable • It lets us use authorization system (e.g., Facebook Connect). • It lets us add certificates info to applications logins (social system login as universal login)

'); FB.api('/me', function(response) { console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.'); // here we can add code for IDs comparison }); } else { … }
- 11. Dmitry Namiot http://servletsuite.blogspot.com Conclusion • We propose digital certificates for phone ownership. • Each certificate combines phone identity (IMEI) and social ID. • It lets check phone ownership via web search (including mobile web), mobile application or via API. • In general, our digital certificates can add an additional checking layer for mobile authentication. • The proposed approach has been implemented as Open Source project.
