    Abstract: A mobile device, having a smart card within the mobile device, stores a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) profile for the mobile device in the smart card, where the MNO profile includes one or more network access credentials for accessing a wireless mobile network. The mobile device receives a customer request to delete the MNO profile, and sends, from the mobile device to a network node in the wireless mobile network, a request for profile deletion. The mobile device receives, responsive to the request from the network node, a deletion code; extracts, from the received deletion code, a deletion code signature and a public key of the network node. The mobile device validates the deletion code signature and the public key, and deletes, upon successful validation of the deletion code signature and the public key, the MNO profile from the smart card.
