Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a message from a service consumer at a pseudonymity proxy within the mobile network, wherein the message includes a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message including a pseudonym identifying a target mobile terminal via a header of the SOAP message; determining, via the pseudonymity proxy, a header element of the header that includes a SOAP attribute identifying a targeted recipient of information in the header, the header element including a child element providing at least a pseudonym type and the pseudonym; resolving the pseudonym type and the pseudonym as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) pointing to an XML element; extracting the pseudonym from the XML element pointed to by the URI; resolving the pseudonym into an address of the target mobile terminal unknown to the service consumer; and forwarding the SOAP message from the pseudonymity proxy to the address of the target mobile terminal.
