CEIR based smartphones anti-stolen system: SASSCEIR

Abstract

Mobile stolen has become a big problem all over the world. International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique number which used to identify mobile device throughout the world. An IMEI is to be made non editable number which cannot be reprogrammed. Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) is systems that registers the stolen/theft mobiles and update all TSP’s local EIR with blacklisted IMEI. Many countries have enabled CEIR system to terminate mobile stolen problem. Despite of many features CEIR is not able to stop working of smartphone on Wi-Fi networks. Current CEIR system block the mobile devices by placing stolen devices in blacklist hence telecom services get disabled for blacklisted mobiles. This paper represents capacity of CEIR deployment in telecommunication network system and demonstrates the existing problem in CEIR. This paper also focuses on our proposed solution SASSCEIR, for complete blocking of smartphones.SASSCEIR will help to alleviate the stealing of smartphones by making them completely futileto use. We have performed test cases to analyze SASSCEIR concept by developing android based apps prototype of SASSCEIR and mobile side TESTSASSCEIR app to communicate with SASSCEIR app.
