Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is a popular 3G standard for mobile telecommunication networks. ‘Vulnerability of the subscriber’s identity privacy and the need to eliminate this vulnerability’, is an established security issue in UMTS. This vulnerability continues to exist up to various extents in the descendent networks of UMTS, like LTE. Several solutions suggesting improvements to the identity privacy in UMTS is present in the literature.
