    摘要: A method for updating a terminal comprising a secure element is provided by way of an Over-the-Air (OTA) platform. The OTA receives at least a location data reflecting the location of the terminal and a request for downloading a list of preferred networks in the terminal. Each of said preferred networks may be associated with its own target roaming quota usage, at least one weighting factor associated to a given list of the set may be updated as a result of an optimization function which aims at generating one weighting factor based on a target roaming quota usage associated to each preferred network of the given list. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Provided is a method for pushing data to a mobile network operator (MNO), the method being suitable to be implemented by a server and comprising the following steps of: receiving, from the MNO, a message comprising at least one communication pattern associated with at least one device identifier identifying a type or a provider of a device; receiving, from a user, a request for downloading a subscription profile of the MNO; sending, in response to the request, the subscription profile to a device of the user; identifying, from the at least one communication pattern, a communication pattern applicable to the subscription profile according to device data obtained from the request; and pushing data comprising an identifier of the subscription profile and the applicable communication pattern to the MNO.

    摘要: A method for authenticating by a network server a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus contains a tamper resistant area adapted to memorize a first secret, by receiving from the communication apparatus a request message including a subscriber identifier; providing, by consulting a database accessible by the network server, a device identifier associated to the received subscriber identifier allowing to identify the communication apparatus; identifying in a secure distributed ledger, using the device identifier, a record published by a manufacturer of at least a portion of the communication apparatus, said record comprising a second secret attributed to the identified communication apparatus; generating a challenge message comprising a random number RAND and sending it to the communication apparatus for it to generate a first result F_HWRES; receiving from the communication apparatus a response message comprising the first result F_HWRES, the communication apparatus being authenticated by the network server if the first result F_HWRES is equal to a second result S_HWRES derived by the network server.

    摘要: A method for connecting a secure element to a network of a first mobile network operator using an ephemeral first IMSI, in order to get a second IMSI, from the first mobile network operator, includes: Selecting a first radio serving network, the first selected network being not listed in the Forbidden VPLMN list of the secure element; Sending a REGISTER REQUEST message comprising the first IMSI to the first selected network; If the first selected network does not route the message to the network of the first mobile network operator, stop trying to register with the first selected network and put the MCC/MNC codes of the first selected network in the Forbidden VPLMN list of the secure element; Searching for a another network to register with; and Repeat the foregoing steps until a network routes the first IMSI to the network of the first mobile network operator.

    摘要: The invention is a method for updating a first secret data in a credential container including a subscriber identity module. The credential container comprises a set of secret parameters customized for a network operator and is configured to execute a symmetric mutual authentication algorithm using said set. The credential container receives from a remote server a second secret data enciphered using a second algorithm different from said symmetric mutual authentication algorithm and a subset of said secret parameters, the credential container deciphers the enciphered second secret data by using both the subset and a third algorithm and replaces the first secret data with the second secret data.
