    摘要: There is provided mechanisms for handling credentials of an IoT SAFE applet. A method is performed by a communication device. The communication device stores the IoT SAFE applet in a first security domain of a subscription module in the communication device. The first security domain is free from any subscription profile and is different from any security domain of the subscription module for storing subscription profiles. The IoT SAFE applet is independent from any MNO. The communication device is without credentials for the IoT SAFE applet for establishing secure communication for the communication device with a network node. The method comprises obtaining credentials for the IoT SAFE applet from the network node. The method comprises storing the credentials in the first security domain of the subscription module. The credentials are, after successful storage, accessible only from within the first security domain. The method comprises establishing, using the IoT SAFE applet and at least one of the credentials, secure communication for the communication device with the network node.
