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

MEETING UPDATES:

:

  • Discussion updated by Axel Nennker with proposal to include PPID as a 3rd device identifier that can be requested (in addition to IMEI or TAC)

:

  • Axel Nennker to review and make proposal for additional physical device identifier
