    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for storing and controlling access control clients. In one embodiment, transmitting and receiving devices ensure that only one copy of an eSIM is active at any time. Specifically, each transferred eSIM is encrypted for the destination device; the eSIM from the source device is deleted, deactivated, or otherwise rendered unusable. Various aspects of network infrastructure are also described, including electronic Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) appliances, and mobile devices. Various scenarios for transfer of eSIMs are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for securely provisioning access control entities (e.g., electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) components) to a user equipment (UE) device. In one embodiment, a UE device is assigned a unique key and an endorsement certificate that can be used to provide updates or new eSIMs to the UE device. The UE device can trust eSIM material delivered by an unknown third-party eSIM vendor, based on a secure certificate transmission with the unique key. In another aspect, an operating system (OS) is partitioned into various sandboxes. During operation, the UE device can activate and execute the OS in the sandbox corresponding to a current wireless network. Personalization packages received while connected to the network only apply to that sandbox. Similarly, when loading an eSIM, the OS need only load the list of software necessary for the current run-time environment. Unused software can be subsequently activated.

    Abstract translation: 本文公开了一种用于将访问控制实体(例如,电子订户身份模块(eSIM)组件)安全地提供给用户设备(UE)设备的技术。 在一个实施例中,向UE设备分配唯一密钥和可用于向UE设备提供更新或新eSIM的签注证书。 基于使用唯一密钥的安全证书传输,UE设备可以信任由未知的第三方eSIM供应商提供的eSIM资料。 在另一方面,操作系统(OS)被划分成各种沙盒。 在操作期间,UE设备可以在对应于当前无线网络的沙箱中激活并执行OS。 连接到网络时收到的个性化包仅适用于该沙盒。 同样,当加载eSIM时,操作系统只需加载当前运行时环境所需的软件列表。 未使用的软件可以随后激活。

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for distributing electronic access client modules for use with electronic devices. In one embodiment, the access client modules are virtual subscriber identity modules (VSIMs) that can be downloaded from online services for use with cellular-equipped devices such as smartphones. The online services may include a point of sale (POS) system that sells electronic devices to users. A broker may be used to facilitate the selection of a virtual subscriber identity module. A provisioning service may also be used to provision the selected VSIM.

    Abstract: Described herein is a simulacrum security device and methods. In one embodiment, a simulacrum or likeness of a physical security device is provided for use in conjunction with a software emulation of the security device. In one implementation, a “faux SIM card” is provided that does not contain Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) information itself, but instead enables a user to download Electronic SIM (eSIM) information (e.g., from a network or eSIM server) which is loaded into a software emulation of a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) device. The faux card is printed with an activation code, scan pattern, or other activation or access information. The subscriber purchases the faux card, and enters the activation code into a device; the entered activation code enables the device to log onto a network, and download the appropriate eSIM data. Delivery of eSIM information as enabled by the faux card addresses deficiencies in existing SIM distribution schemes, provides users with an enhanced perception of security, and further addresses various legal requirements.
