Stolen devices can be laundered for use on operator networks by modifying the IMEIs, thus removing them from the blacklist.
This enables a stolen device to go back into service despite being done for nefarious reasons.
Laundered devices appearing on networks that have duplicate or invalid IMEIs can be isolated using DeviceAssure and appropriate action can be taken.
Non-standard devices can be low cost, unbranded devices that are illegally imported and distributed, or they may be represented by higher value counterfeits masquerading as premium brand devices.
Non-standard devices typically have invalid or duplicate IMEIs and are thus outside of regulatory compliance.
DeviceAssure identifies these devices on the network, enabling service denial or appropriate action.
Some nations implement device registration systems for the purposes of controlling excise fraud and improving regulatory control over devices used on networks.
However, registration systems can be bypassed by modifying the IMEI on a device which can be done easily via an app.
DeviceAssure verifies that a registered device has a valid IMEI for that device, ensuring integrity of the registration process.
DeviceAssure is easily integrated into existing apps, SDKs and websites to build device
verification into your own products and services.
SDK/JS library is embedded on the client website/app and visited by the device.
A device profile is then captured and sent to the DeviceAssure service.
A series of checks are then performed to assess the device’s authenticity.
The results are returned to the client for measurement and/or intervention.
