Abstract
A method to attach a mobile device to a server, using a protocol having data size encoding constraints which prevents using traditional ciphering, includes an initialization phase using a range of ephemeral IMSIs stored in a batch of credential containers of mobile devices and an associated group master key shared by the server and credential containers having the same range of ephemeral IMSIs to initiate a session using a server random value. The initialization phase uses limited payload in a mobile device-to-server message to send a randomly chosen rIMSI among the range of IMSIs to enable the server to generate keys to initiate a secured communication phase, then using individual keys stored in the mobile device and retrieved by the server with an identifier of the credential container sent in a mobile device-to-server message and with an individualization master key owned by the server.
