Abstract

A system described herein may receive a first indication that a particular User Equipment ('UE') has been reported as lost or stolen. The first indication may be received via an interface with an Equipment Information Repository (“EIR”). The system may output, to an access function (e.g., an Access and Mobility Management Function (“AMF”)) of a network to which the UE is connected, a second indication that the UE has been reported as lost or stolen. The access function of the network may modify access of the particular UE to the network based on the indication that the particular UE has been reported as lost or stolen, and/or may output, to the UE, a third indication that the UE has been reported as lost or stolen. The UE may perform further security-related measures, such as disabling one or more applications, performing a factory reset, or entering a restricted mode.
