Abstract: A network device executing a Network Exposure Function (NEF) receives, from a requestor, an on-demand Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) deconcealment request associated with a mobile network subscriber. The NEF sends a second SUCI deconcealment request to a network function (NF) in the mobile network, where the second SUCI deconcealment request includes a SUCI associated with the mobile network subscriber. The NEF receives, from the NF, a SUCI deconcealment response that includes a Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI), associated with the mobile network subscriber, decrypted from the SUCI by the NF, and forwards the SUCI deconcealment response to the requestor.
