Abstract:
A method for modifying the profile in a device (D) including a communication module for communicating on a communication network, the device (D) being provided with a microcircuit storing connection data used by the communication module and associated with a profile, the method including the following steps: reception, by the microcircuit and via the communication module, of a request to deactivate (E6) the profile; transmission, by the microcircuit, of a first message (E10) to the device; transmission, by the device and to the microcircuit, of a response (E14) indicative of the existence of a critical situation; following the receipt of the response (E14) by the microcircuit, implementation of a time delay mechanism (E18); upon expiry of the time delay (E18), transmission, by the microcircuit and to the device, of a second message (E22) resulting in the deactivation of the profile. An associated device and microcircuit are also described.
Abstract:
Method of managing profiles in a secure element, the secure element including a first profile associated with a first communication network and a second profile associated with a second communication network, the first profile being active. The method includes steps of deactivation of the first profile and activation of the second profile. The steps of deactivation and of activation are implemented following the detection of a failure during a local verification pertaining to the first profile for the use of this the first profile. A local verification may be a verification in the secure element of the authorization of access of a user to the first profile, for example three failures of PIN or PUK code or of biometric authentication data.
Abstract:
An embodiment of an emergency call system comprises a device for triggering an emergency call and a communications device having a secure element. In various implementations, the secure element includes at least two profiles, one of which is an emergency profile; means suitable for receiving, over a local communications channel, an event issued by the device for triggering an emergency call; means for activating an emergency profile, enabling emergency calls to be made in a communications network, if said profile is not already active; and means for calling an emergency number in said network in order to make said emergency call.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to the notification of an SM-SR subscription management server by an eUICC card or an eSE element. The card includes, in local memory, at least one short number (or “short code”), and more generally an address identifier, unique to a mobile-phone operator, wherein the number is associated with an operator subscriber profile within the secure card. The card is configured to retrieve, from the local memory, a short code associated with a subscriber profile in use to send, using the retrieved short code, a card status notification to the SM-SR server. In the absence of a short code, the card uses a unique international telephone number as the recipient of the notification.
Abstract:
A secure element (30) has a local store of file property data (50). A method of preparing a script to send to the secure element (30) to remotely provision a profile (31) at the secure element includes preparing the script such that the script lacks a command to create a file if the local store of file property data (50) at the secure element includes file property data which can be used to locally create that file. A script may include an entry of reduced length which refers to the file to be locally created, such as a SELECT FILE command and an identifier of the file.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for creating a profile in a target security domain of a secure element. In various implementations, the method includes a reception operation by said target security domain, according to a secure protocol not interpretable by this security domain, of data comprising an installation script of said profile encrypted with a key of the target security domain; a transfer operation of data to a privileged security domain capable of interpreting the protocol; a decryption operation of said protocol by said privileged security domain to obtain said encrypted script; an operation for sending the encrypted script to said target security domain; and a decryption operation of said encrypted script with said key and execution of said script by the target security domain to install said profile. Other embodiments include systems and devices that implement similar functionality.
