Abstract

A mobile network operator (MNO) uses a provisioning server to update or install profile content in a profile or electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM). In an exemplary embodiment, the profile is present on a secure element such as an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) in a wireless device. One or more MNOs use the provisioning server to perform profile content management on profiles in the eUICC. In some embodiments, an MNO has a trust relationship with the provisioning server. In some other embodiments, the MNO does not have a trust relationship with the provisioning server and protects payload targeted for an MNO-associated profile using an over the air (OTA) key.
