摘要: Embodiments provided herein determine if an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) associated with a requested service can be installed in a secure element (SE) housed in a wireless device. Before requesting deployment of an eSIM suitable for the requested service from an eSIM delivery server, a carrier server asks that an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) server validate that an eSIM corresponding to a customer request should be deployed. The OEM server obtains information about the wireless device and information about the SE. When the carrier server requests validation, the OEM server evaluates the wireless device information and/or the SE information. If the OEM server indicates that deployment of the eSIM should proceed, the OEM server also indicates the eSIM type that is compatible with the wireless device and with the SE housed in the device.

摘要: Some embodiments relate to methods for provisioning a secondary wireless device with an eSIM for wireless communication and activating multi-SIM functionality between the secondary wireless device and a primary wireless device having a subscribed SIM. The primary wireless device may act as a proxy in obtaining the eSIM for the secondary wireless device. The primary wireless device may then provide, to the cellular network, identifiers of the SIMs of the primary and secondary wireless devices. The primary wireless device may then request initiation of multi-SIM functionality for the two SIMs, and receive an indication that the multi-SIM functionality has been initiated. As an example, the multi-SIM functionality may be implemented by mapping the SIM of the primary wireless device and the SIM of the secondary wireless device (e.g., the provisioned eSIM) to the same Mobile Directory Number (MDN).

摘要: Duplicate processing of events registered at a root server is avoided. An electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) server pushes, to a root server, data in the form of notification data portions indicating that commands or events need to be processed by a device. The device includes an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC). The device pulls a notification list from the root server. The notification list includes one or more notification data portions. The device checks a given notification data portion to see if it represents a duplicate before communicating with the eSIM server to perform further processing related to the event. The device bases the check for duplication on an event history and/or on a hash value where the hash value is based on one or more eSIMs installed in the eUICC. The device is able to prioritize notification data portions before processing them.

摘要: This application describes a phased approach to provision eSIM profiles to a wireless device. Credentials are preloaded to an eUICC during manufacture of the eUICC and used subsequently to load eSIM profiles to the eUICC without requiring an active, real-time connection to an MNO provisioning server. Multiple bound profile packages (BPPs) can be pre-generated and encrypted by MNO provisioning servers for an eUICC and transferred to a BPP aggregator server before assembly of the eUICC in a respective wireless device. A local provisioning server in a manufacturing facility mutually authenticates and connects to the BPP aggregator server to download and store one or more of the encrypted BPPs for later installation on the eUICC. The local provisioning server subsequently mutually authenticates and connects to the eUICC to load at least one of the one or more pre-generated, encrypted BPPs to the eUICC during assembly and/or testing of the wireless device.

摘要: This application sets forth techniques for authenticating a mobile device with a cellular wireless network without electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) credentials by using an Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) procedure. The mobile device authenticates with an Authentication Server Function (AUSF) of the cellular wireless network using an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) certificate. Processing circuitry of the mobile wireless device external to the eUICC implements the EAP-TLS procedure and authenticates validity of the AUSF. In some embodiments, the eUICC provides key generation and storage for a session key for communication between the mobile device and the cellular wireless network. In some embodiments, a third-party managed Unified Data Management (UDM) broker authenticates the mobile device based on knowledge of the eUICC certificate and provides a session key to the cellular wireless network for subsequent communication with the mobile device, upon successful authentication of the mobile device.

摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to credential wrapping for secure transfer of electronic SIMs (eSIMs) between wireless devices. Transfer of an eSIM from a source device to a target device includes re-encryption of sensitive eSIM data, e.g., eSIM encryption keys, financial transaction credentials, transit authority credentials, and the like, using new encryption keys that include ephemeral elements applicable to a single, particular transfer session between the source device and the target device. The sensitive eSIM data encrypted with a symmetric key (Ks) is re-wrapped with a new header that includes a version of Ks encrypted with a new key encryption key (KEK) and information to derive KEK by the target device. The re-encrypted sensitive SIM data is formatted with additional eSIM data into a new bound profile package (BPP) to transfer the eSIM from the source device to the target device.
