UICC Carrier Switching Via Over-The-Air Technology

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to provisioning a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) with multiple services The UICC enables a wireless communication device to communicate through multiple carriers by using a unique virtual subscriber identity module (SIM) to register with each carrier The unique virtual SIM is one of a plurality of virtual SIMs stored on and managed by the UICC A carrier network includes a server for provisioning a new virtual SIM on a UICC over-the-air (OTA) when a new customer requests a service such as voice, data, or other type of service These UICCs may also include logic to automatically select the best carrier for a voice call depending on the user settings

Procedure for the control of applications stored in a subscriber identity module

Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for the control of applications stored in a subscriber identity module in a data communication system comprising a data communication network (4), a terminal device (MS) connected to the data communication network, a subscriber identity module (SIM) connected to the terminal device and containing a stored application that makes use of the data communication network and is used by means of the terminal device, and an application control server (1) connected to the data communication network. In an embodiment of the invention, a key list comprising one or more application-specific keys is stored in the subscriber identity module (SIM). A corresponding list is also stored in the application control server, which takes care of the control of applications stored in subscriber identity modules. The application stored in the subscriber identity module is activated and/or closed by using the key list.

Techniques for secure channelization between uicc and a terminal

Abstract: The present invention is related to a wireless communication system. 3G UMTS mobile phone systems rely on a protected smart card called the UMTS integrated circuit card (UICC) that provides UMTS subscriber identity module (USIM) applications as a basis or root of various security measures protecting the communication path between the 3G mobile terminal and the UMTS wireless network (or UTRAN). Disclosed is a method by which the UICC exchanges information with a terminal, such as an Internal Key Center (IKC 1250) and a Bootstrapping Server Function (BSF 1270) enables a procedure where multiple local keys specific to applications and Network Application Functions (NAFs) (Ks_local) are used for authentication and to encrypt and decrypt messages.

Application Discovery on Mobile Devices

Abstract: Methods and systems for application discovery on mobile devices are provided. A subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with a mobile device sends information to a network server, which determines an identifier (e.g., a phone number) associated with the SIM card. Using the identifier, the network server provides application information to the mobile device. The application information, which may include the application itself, is then used to install the application on the mobile device.

Communications of UICC in mobile devices using internet protocols

Abstract: A mobile device and UICC communication using standard Internet protocols. Such communication allows users access to their UICC information using standard web browsers and allows use of the UICCs to communicate with remote servers and thereby provide secure services for Internet transactions. The mobile device has a communications module to selectively communicate with the UICC processor or with at least one node on a network, the mobile device communications module has an Internet protocol module operable to receive messages issued from a first Internet application as Internet protocol packets, and to transmit the packets to target IP addresses; and operable to receive Internet protocol packets, to process the packets, and to send the messages contained in the packets to the first Internet application.
