MobileSubscriber Gem

It's a fact that the Mobile network providers (carriers, operators & such) share subscriber identity data to approved 3rd parties when users navigate via Web to the 3rd parties' websites.

The problem is that generally the algorythms used by these 3rd parties offer no security against forged HTTP requests.

The goals of this project are basically to detect the user's identity for the 3rd parties, in the most secure and reliably as possible:

• Validate the mobile user's identity by checking the originating IP address
• Validate the request hopping between relaying proxies

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mobile-subscriber'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mobile-subscriber
