LTE Phone Number Catcher: A Practical Attack against Mobile
Privacy
Chuan Yu, Shuhui Chen, Zhiping Cai • Published 30 September 2019 • Computer Science • Secur. Commun. Networks
Phone number is a unique identity code of a mobile subscriber, which plays a more important role in the mobile social network life than another
identi cation number IMSI. Unlike the IMSI, a mobile device never transmits its own phone number to the network side in the radio. However, the
mobile network may send a user’s phone number to another mobile terminal when this user initiating a call or SMS service. Based on the above
facts, with the help of an IMSI catcher and 2G man-in-the-middle… Expand

Personal phone number privacy-preserving models for public use
Alanazi Rayan, Hamoud H. Alshammari • Computer Science • Journal of Discrete Mathematical Sciences and Cryptography • 2021
TLDR This paper proposes an alternative: Virtual Mobile Number Model (VMNM) that links a user’s real mobile number with a virtual mobile
number to help secure individual privacy and evaluates the model and explains how it helps to protect the user's privacy as well as prevent
personal data from being violated. Expand
