Device Identifier Meeting Minutes 2025-01-03

PR #87: Update Device object handling and description

• Other APIs passing a Device object do this by passing a separate parameter named device, even if that is the only object passed in the request.

• This PR:

  • Updates the Device Identifier API to use this pattern
  • Updates documentation on identifying the device from the access token following the current agreement in Commonalities
  • Updates the API error responses following the current agreement in Commonalities

Issue #80: Purpose of the lastChecked field in the response?

• lastChecked response field is not clear to all potential API consumers
• This is the last time that the API provider checked which IMEI was being used by a specific MSISDN
  • Could be "now", or could be some minutes ago. Implementation dependent.
• How to fix?
  • Rename field (maybe to lastConfirmed)?
  • Better description in YAML itself?

Discussion #36: Alternative device identifiers

• An alternative proposal is to salt the IMEI with an API consumer specific salt and then hash it
• This would a less useful identifier (only useful to the API consumer) but easier to justify providing under an opt-out or no consent basis
• Use cases for such an alternative identifier are not clear
