Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for storing a temporary certificate on a mobile device for accessing services in association with a primary number. A device determines that a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card, previously used by the device, is not available for use by the device. The device determines that a second SIM card is available for use by the first device within a predetermined time period after the first SIM card is determined to be not available for use by the device. The device confirms that a communication identifier of the first SIM card is strongly tied to a user account associated with the device. The device stores a temporary certificate that attests to continued ownership of the communication identifier by the device and allows the device to access at least one service in association with the communication identifier.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for device-relationship based communication includes at least one processor configured to establish, by a first device associated with a first user, a secure communication channel with a second device associated with a second user via a direct wireless connection. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, over the secure communication channel, first device-identifying information to the second device, and receive, over the secure communication channel, second device-identifying information from the second device. The at least one processor is configured to establish a particular type of relationship with the second device, store the second device-identifying information in association with an indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device, and transmit, to the second device and over the secure communication channel, the indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes receiving, at a media device and from a client device, a request for a temporary identifier for a group chat session, and provisioning, by the media device, the temporary identifier based on a device identifier of the media device. The media device provides the temporary identifier to the client device. The media device receives from a server an invitation to join the group chat session, where the invitation is directed to the temporary identifier, and the media device joins the group chat session.
