Abstract:
A first user device may provide, to a provisioning device, a request for a subscriber identity module (SIM) swap that causes provisioning data to be provided to a first SIM card of the first user device and from a second SIM card of a second user device. The first user device may generate a first encrypted token based on a first identifier associated with the first SIM card. The first user device may provide, to the provisioning device, the first encrypted token and a user identifier. The first user device may selectively receive the provisioning data when the first encrypted token matches a second encrypted token generated by the second user device based on a second identifier associated with the second SIM card, or receive a message indicating that the first user device cannot be provisioned, when the first encrypted token fails to match the second encrypted token.
