ITU-T X.1127 PDF

This Recommendation addresses the functional security requirements and architecture for the smartphone anti-theft measure (i.e., a kill switch), which allows users to remotely delete their personal data or disable stolen or lost smartphone devices.

It is anticipated that functional security requirements and functional architecture identified in this Recommendation can be applicable to smartphones which are able to provide anti-theft measures reflecting the desires of smartphones customers, smartphone manufactures and mobile service operators.

This Recommendation focuses on the functional requirements, functional architecture, and anti-theft mechanisms. It uses a reference model consisting of the device owner, the authorized server, the backup server, and lost or stolen devices. Anti-theft specific threats are described in Appendix III. This Recommendation does not modify the general requirements for smartphone anti-theft features developed by GSMA [b-GSMA].
