    Hi All,

    No SUPI-Based Paging-This publication provides an overview of "no Subscription Permanent Identifier (SUPI) based paging," a 5G capability for protecting users from being identified and located by an attacker. Unlike previous generations of cellular systems, new requirements in 5G protect subscriber confidentiality by using a temporary identity (ID) instead of SUPI for the paging protocol, and explicitly define when the temporary ID must be reallocated (refreshed). 5G network operators and organizations using 5G technologies are encouraged to verify that the paging is happening as described in the 5G standards.  

    Feedback Wanted: We welcome your input and look forward to your comments by 11:59 p.m. ET, February 28, 2025.
