  • Communication capabilities selection-based security management
    Patent number: 12786719
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for utilizing subscriber and user equipment (UE) related content to generate limitations of rich communications service (RCS) capabilities as antispam security measures. The RCS capabilities limitations can be utilized to strip RCS capabilities from possible malicious UEs. The UEs can be identified as the possible malicious UEs by scanning telecommunications networks for behavior of the UEs that is identified as being possible malicious behavior. Stripping the RCS capabilities can include downgrading capabilities of the possible malicious UEs from RCS capabilities to short messaging service (SMS)/multimedia messaging service (MMS) capabilities. Communications associated with the possible malicious UEs being identified as malicious UEs can be monitored and analyzed to restrict communication of communications identified as malicious messages.
