Summary:
|
Recommendation ITU-T X.1127 focuses on the functional security requirements and functional architecture for smartphone anti-theft mechanisms based on the general requirements described by the GSMA.
Smartphones are rapidly proliferating and have become a nearly indispensable part of daily life. Unfortunately, many smartphone users have had their phones stolen. A smartphone anti-theft measure, i.e., a kill switch tool, for use in the event it is lost or stolen, should provide the capability to:
- remotely delete the authorized user's data that is on the smartphone;
- render the smartphone inoperable to an unauthorized user;
- prevent reactivation without the authorized user's permission to the extent technologically feasible; and
- reverse the inoperability if the smartphone is recovered by the authorized user, and restore user data on the smartphone to the extent feasible.
