    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for an IPV4-to-IPv6 redirect to enable use of application function-specific user endpoint identifiers (AF-specific UEIds). In one example, a method performed by a processing system includes receiving, from an application function of a communications network, a redirected request for an AF-specific UEId that is unique to a user endpoint device and the application function, where the redirected request includes an IPv6 address associated with the user endpoint device, querying a binding support function of the communications network for a subscription permanent identifier associated with the IPV6 address associated with the user endpoint device, querying an application function-specific management function for an AF-specific UEId associated with the subscription permanent identifier and an identifier of the application function, and forwarding the AF-specific UEId associated with the subscription permanent identifier and the identifier of the application function to the application function.

    Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for dynamically generating an application function-specific user endpoint identifier. For instance, in one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes receiving, from a network exposure function of a communications network, a request for an application function-specific user endpoint identifier that is unique to a user endpoint device and an application function residing externally to the communications network, querying a unified data repository for the application function-specific user endpoint identifier, determining, based on a response from the unified data repository, whether the application function-specific user endpoint identifier exists in the unified data repository, dynamically generating the application function-specific user endpoint identifier, and forwarding the application function-specific user identifier, as dynamically generated, to the network exposure function.

    Abstract: Facilitation of management and utilization of domain-specific anonymous customer references (ACRs) for protection of subscriber privacy across different domains is disclosed herein. In one aspect, on receiving user authorization, an ACR services (ACRS) component can generate an ACR that is to be inserted in a communication or message transmitted from a user equipment to an untrusted entity. The ACR can be generated based on address data associated with the untrusted entity and/or a unique subscriber identifier associated with the user equipment. As an example, the ACR creation component can generate the ACR based on a cryptographic hash, a static encryption key, and/or a dynamic encryption key. If the ACR is forwarded to a trusted entity, the trusted entity can calculate the unique subscriber identifier based on evaluating the ACR and/or exchange the ACR for the unique subscriber identifier via a secure communication with the ACRS component.

    Abstract: Variable subscriber identifiers (V-SubIds) for protecting subscriber privacy are generated and managed. In one aspect, an Anonymous Customer Reference Services (ACRS) component generates a V-SubId, which is a short-lived subscriber identifier that is inserted in a request received from a user equipment during request enrichment. Moreover, a different V-SubId can be inserted in subsequent request from the user equipment and thus, cross-site behavior tracking can be mitigated. In one aspect, the V-SubId can be exchanged for a subscriber identifier (SubId) associated with the user equipment, upon query by trusted systems/applications. Further, the V-SubId can be exchanged for a site-specific Anonymous Customer Reference (ACR) upon query by untrusted systems/applications, if user authorization is received. Moreover, the life cycle of the ACR is managed by the ACRS component, based on subscriber input.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for an IPv4-to-IPv6 redirect to enable use of application function-specific user endpoint identifiers (AF-specific UEIds). In one example, a method performed by a processing system includes receiving, from an application function of a communications network, a redirected request for an AF-specific UEId that is unique to a user endpoint device and the application function, where the redirected request includes an IPv6 address associated with the user endpoint device, querying a binding support function of the communications network for a subscription permanent identifier associated with the IPv6 address associated with the user endpoint device, querying an application function-specific management function for an AF-specific UEId associated with the subscription permanent identifier and an identifier of the application function, and forwarding the AF-specific UEId associated with the subscription permanent identifier and the identifier of the application function to the application function.
