In an embodiment the method a includes performing, by an integrated circuit (IC) card hosted in a local equipment, authentication with a contactless subscriber device when the subscriber device is within a communication range of a contactless interface of the local equipment, receiving, by the IC card, an identifier (SID) identifying a software module from the subscriber device, the software module configured to enable a subscription profile for a mobile network operator, performing a checking operation at the IC card whether the SID matches a software module identifier stored in the IC card and selectively performing one of downloading the software module to the IC card, enabling the software module at the IC card or disabling the software module at the IC card as a result of performing the checking operation.

Method for remote provisioning of software modules in integrated circuit cards, corresponding apparatus and computer program product

In embodiments, a method is provided that includes writing a static data image in an invariant part of a non-volatile memory of an integrated circuit used to store an operating system; writing a set of personalization data in the static data image representing data specific to the integrated circuit; storing a subset of the set of personalization data in a reserved area of the non-volatile memory by reserving the reserved area and storing commands for writing the set of personalization data by an application or the operating system; converting the commands with a known code to obtain an inner command script, the inner script including the commands as encoded; storing the inner command script in the reserved area of the non-volatile memory; decoding and executing the inner command script to obtain the commands during an activation of the integrated circuit; and executing the commands by the integrated circuit.

Method for introducing personalization data in non volatile memories of a plurality of integrated circuits, in particular in integrated circuit cards, corresponding system and computer program product

A method can be used for generating personalized profile package data for integrated circuit cards. The method includes encrypting data records corresponding to profile data with a respective data protection key thereby obtaining encrypted data records. Each record includes a number of personalization fields to store different types of personalization values. The method also includes encrypting a file for a profile package with a master encryption key thereby obtaining an encrypted file for the profile package. The file includes fields to be personalized corresponding to one or more of the personalization fields to store different types of personalization values. The encrypted file for the profile package and encrypted data records are transmitted to a data preparation entity where the encrypted data records and the encrypted file can be decrypted and combined to obtain personalized profile packages.

Method for generating personalized profile package data for integrated circuit cards

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to solutions for introducing personalization data in nonvolatile memories of a plurality of integrated circuits, comprising writing in the nonvolatile memory of a given integrated circuit a static data image, corresponding to an invariant part of nonvolatile memory common to the plurality of integrated circuits, and a personalization data image representing data specific to the given integrated circuit.

Method, system and computer program product for introducing personalization data in nonvolatile memories of a plurality of integrated circuits

In an embodiment a method includes providing a table including a plurality of data records (R. . . Rn) corresponding to a plurality of profile data, providing a master profile including fields to be personalized (F. . . Fk . . . Fp) corresponding to one or more of the data records (R. . . Rn) to store the different types of personalization values (V. . . Vm), combining the one or more of the data records (R. . . Rn) in the table with the master profile by inserting the personalization values (V. . . Vm) in the fields to be personalized (F. . . Fk . . . Fp) to obtain respective personalized profile packages, coding the one or more of the data records (R. . . Rn) to obtain encoded data records (CRi), applying the coding to the offset table to obtain encoded data offset (COi) and combining for each record (Ri) the encoded data record (CRi) and the data offset (OCi) in an encoded personalization record (URi).

Method for the generation of personalized profile packages in integrated circuit cards, corresponding system and computer program product

A method for transmitting an IP data packet to an IP address associated with a host name is described. A first service message of a Short Message Service is transmitted to a Short Message Service gateway server. The first service message includes a host name resolution request for a host name. A second service message of the Short Message Service is received from the Short Message Service gateway server. The second service message includes an IP address associated with the host name. An IP data packet is transmitted to the IP address associated with the host name.
