In IMSI, why is a temporary ID used? Explain clearly.

What will be an ideal response?


The SIM stores an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), a TMSI
(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity) and a shared key K. The TMSI is a
temporary identification number that is assigned during location update to
protect the true identity of the caller. A shared key is permanent and is used to
produce challenge-responses and session encryption keys. Hence, once the
session is over, it is imperative to disassociate the user with the ID, otherwise it
can be stolen and used to authenticate a hacker
with intension of doing malicious work.
