1.10 + when a subscriber communicates with an application (MOAT/AOMT messaging)
1.11 + he might not want expose his identity (MSISDN or IMSI);
1.12 + the aliasing feature (sometimes called hashing) deployed on an SMS gateway enables this communication and rewrites the subscriber's ID to some generated ID;
