eUICC can refer to any implementation or application of the eUICC standards in an eSIM device. Each implementation of eUICC includes software code, a processor to emulate the software, non-volatile memory used to store the unique identifiers and cryptographic keys that are part of a SIM profile, and a bus interface to communicate the SIM profile to the mobile device. eUICC standards specify ...
The LPA will request carrier profiles available for download, either by submitting the activation code provided by the user or the eSIM ID (EID) of the eUICC. The SM will provide the requested profile encrypted in a way that only the eUICC can decrypt/install to ensure the network authentication key remains secure.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a form of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device as software installed onto a eUICC chip. First released in March 2016, eSIM is a global specification by the GSMA that enables remote SIM provisioning ; end-users can change mobile network operators without the need to physically swap a SIM from the device.
A UICC consists of a CPU, ROM, RAM, EEPROM and I/O circuits. Early versions consisted of the whole full-size (85 × 54 mm, ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1) smart card. Soon the race for smaller telephones called for a smaller version of the card.
A typical SIM card (mini-SIM with micro-SIM cutout) A SIM card or SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is an integrated circuit (IC) intended to securely store an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephone devices (such as mobile phones and laptops).
USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) is the equivalent of STK for 3G networks. [4] USAT takes advantage of the multiapplication environment of 3G devices by not activating until a specific application has been selected, unlike STK which is activated at startup. [13]
It is a bit-oriented full duplex protocol, i.e. at the same time transmission as well as reception is possible. CLF acts as a master and UICC as a slave. CLF acts as a master and UICC as a slave. CLF provides the UICC with energy, a transmission clock, data, and a signal for bus management.
Devices without a SIM card slot or eSIM capability usually do not have an IMEI, except for certain early Sprint LTE devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and S III which emulated a SIM-free CDMA activation experience and lacked roaming capabilities in 3GPP-only countries. [4]
