摘要:
The exemplary embodiments of the invention include inputting, at a device, a voucher having a plurality of data fields, where the voucher provides provisional subscriber identification for the device, sending at least some of the voucher data fields to a network operator, based on the sent information, receiving a software based subscriber identity module, and using the software based subscriber identity module to authenticate the device. Further, the exemplary embodiments include receiving a voucher having a plurality of data fields from a device, where the voucher provides provisional subscriber identification for the device, in response to the voucher code, sending to the device a request for additional information, in response to the request, receiving an additional data field of the voucher and a security identifier of the device, and based on validating the additional information using the security identifier, sending a software based subscriber identity module to the device.
摘要:
An apparatus for providing smart card security may include a processor. The processor may be configured to determine, for a mobile terminal locked to a smart card, whether a temporary subscriber identifier is being read from the smart card or whether the mobile terminal is receiving a new temporary subscriber identifier from a network in communication with the mobile terminal, compare a network identifier associated with the temporary subscriber identifier to a network identifier included in a permanent subscriber identifier associated with the smart card in response to a determination that the temporary subscriber identifier is being read from the smart card, compare a network identifier associated with the new temporary subscriber identifier to a network identifier associated with a previous temporary subscriber identifier in response to a determination that the new temporary subscriber identifier is received from the network, and determine whether to invalidate the temporary subscriber identifier or the new temporary subscriber identifier based on a result of a respective one of the comparing operations.
