In one embodiment, a method for secure modification of MUD files may include obtaining a request for one or more applications from a device. The method also includes providing to the device the one or more applications and a certification that includes an updated MUD identifier determined based on the one or more applications requested. The updated MUD identifier is associated with a concatenated MUD file that comprises individual MUD file portions for each of the one or more applications requested. The device is configured to request an updated device identifier using the certification. The updated device identifier includes the updated MUD identifier that is associated with the concatenated MUD file.

Secure modification of manufacturer usage description files based on device applications

Techniques for use in remotely provisioning a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) of a mobile device for an enterprise are described. In one illustrative example, at an enterprise server, a message is received from the mobile device or an operator in communication with the mobile device. In response, one or more enterprise service plan options are selected from a plurality of service plan options in a database (DB) and sent to the mobile device or the operator. One of the enterprise service plan options is selected for use in preparing a profile to be remotely provisioned on the SIM. The one or more enterprise service plan options may be selected based on one or more characteristics of a member of the enterprise and/or the member's association or relationship with the enterprise, and/or other characteristics indicative of intended contextual use (e.g. location or geography indicator, language indicator, device capability indicator such as for voice and/data communication capabilities), etc.).
