    Abstract: A method for generating, in a UICC, a 5G subscriber concealed identifier, SUCI, for a 5G mobile communication network, the method comprising the steps executed in a processing entity comprised in the UICC:
    (1) generation of a public/private key pair or an ECC public/private key pair;
    (2) DH or ECDH derivation of an Ephemeral shared key from the public/private key pair or ECC public/private key pair;
    (3) derivation of a symmetric encryption key from the Ephemeral shared key;
    (4) concealment of at least a partof a subscriber permanent identifier, SUPI, particularly MSIN or username, with the generated symmetric key to compute the SUCI,
    characterized by
    - steps (1), (2) being triggered by occurrence of a deterministic event at the UICC, and further comprising: storing the generated public/private key pair or ECC public/private key pair and Ephemeral shared key to a key memory provided in the UICC; and
    - steps (3), (4) being triggered by receipt of a the GET IDENTITY command at the UICC subsequent to steps (1), (2).

    Abstract: For example, a method comprises: receiving, at an element or function in a communication network from a user equipment (102) of the communication network, a message comprising one or more privacy indicators and a request, wherein the request comprises a subscription identifier for a subscriber associated with the user equipment (102), the one or more privacy indicators comprising a field indicating whether the subscription identifier in the request is privacy-protected; determining one or more privacy features for processing the message based on the one or more privacy indicators; processing the message comprising the request to determine the subscription identifier; and identifying at least one of a Home Subscriber Server, HSS, or a User Data Management, UDM, function to which to provide the request.
