Hi Jonne, please let me assure you that I'm trying to be very careful in all this. If I speak out so frequently is just because I need to better understand how IPv6 and 3GPP/UMTS can be made to work together. If I'm diverging too much from the list's topic, please stop me. > I am not really sure if this is something you want to tell the whole > world. Ok, privacy, yes. Alberto mentioned that not necessarily the IMEI should be coded but a hash of it, periodically updated starting from a nonce. > This is kind of confidential information from the end user point of > view. Aha, confidential, then it's not to be put in IPv6 addresses that are not confidential. > In addition, it might not always be unique... IMEI not being unique? That's bad, again. Then it's probably true that some id's are more unique than other id's. So I try something else than IMEI: IMSI. As IMEI is for phones, IMSI is in the SIM cards. Is the IMSI private? Is it unique? What are the other identifiers in the GSM/3GPP/UMTS? Phone number? Would an IMT2000 identifier be better adapted, since it has a wider reach, more neutral. Thanks for any info, I need to cover them all, the id's :-) Alex -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
