    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a communication service by installing an eSIM profile even in a terminal to which an iSSP is applied. The method comprises: detecting whether information is input information for eSIM profile download input information from a terminal to which an iSSP is applied, and determining whether the terminal supports the same. Collecting eSIM bundle information of the iSSP by the terminal; selecting an eSIM bundle to be used by referring to a condition designated by the terminal from among the collected eSIM bundles; if there is no bundle to be used or when it is determined that no eSIM bundle is used among existing eSIM bundles, generating an eSIM bundle by the terminal itself or providing an eSIM bundle via communication with the terminal and a server; and on the basis of eSIM bundle information, downloading and installing an eSIM profile package.

    Abstract: Provided are a communication method and system that integrate 5G communication systems with IoT technologies to support higher data rates after 4G systems. The present disclosure is based on 5G communication technologies and IoT related technologies, and may be applied to intelligent services (e.g. smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail, and security and safety).There is provided a method of profile downloading for a terminal. The method may include: transmitting a first profile download request to a profile providing server; receiving unencrypted first profile information from the profile providing server; checking whether there is an input for consenting to profile downloading after receiving unencrypted profile information; and determining whether to download an encrypted profile on the basis of the check result. There is also provided a terminal capable of performing the above method. In addition, there are provided a profile providing server and an operation method therefor for delivering a profile to the above terminal.
