    摘要: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for utilizing a flexible slot indicator in wireless communication. A base station (BS) may establish communication with a first user equipment device (UE). The BS may determine a transmission direction for each of a plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS may transmit a slot format indicator (SFI) to the UE. The SFI may indicate the transmission direction for each of the plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS and the UE may perform communication during the one or more slots according to the determined transmission direction.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for user authentication and human intent verification of administrative operations for eSIMs of an eUICC included in a mobile device are disclosed. Certain administrative operations, such as import, modification, and/or export, of an eSIM and/or for an eUICCs firmware can require user authentication and/or human intent verification before execution of the administrative operations are performed or completed by the mobile device. A user of the mobile device provides information to link an external user account to an eSIM upon (or subsequent to) installation on the eUICC. User credentials, such as a user name and password, and/or information generated therefrom, can be used to authenticate the user with an external server. In response to successful user authentication, the administrative operations are performed. Human intent verification can also be performed in conjunction with user authentication to prevent malware from interfering with eSIM and/or eUICC functions of the mobile device.

    摘要: A policy-based framework is described. This policy-based framework may be used to specify the privileges for logical entities to perform operations associated with an access-control element (such as an electronic Subscriber Identity Module) located within a secure element in an electronic device. Note that different logical entities may have different privileges for different operations associated with the same or different access-control elements. Moreover, the policy-based framework may specify types of credentials that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different types of credentials may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities. Furthermore, the policy-based framework may specify the security protocols and security levels that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different security protocols and security levels may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for large scale distribution of electronic access control clients. In one aspect, a tiered security software protocol is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a server electronic Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) and client eUICC software comprise a so-called ''stack'' of software layers. Each software layer is responsible for a set of hierarchical functions which are negotiated with its corresponding peer software layer. The tiered security software protocol is configured for large scale distribution of electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs).

    摘要: This disclosure relates to techniques, base stations, and user equipment devices (UEs) for performing base station authentication through access stratum signaling transmissions. The UE may operate in idle mode and may receive an authentication message from a base station through the wireless interface while operating in idle mode. The UE may determine whether a signature comprised within the authentication message is valid, and the UE may continue a connection procedure with the base station based on a determination that the signature is valid. If it is determined that the signature is invalid, the UE may designate the base station as a barred base station and may perform cell re-selection. The authentication message may be one of a radio resource control (RRC) connection setup message, a special RRC message, a media access control (MAC) message, or a random access channel (RACH) message comprising a random access response (RAR) message.
