  • Patent number: 11481523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a secure element device comprising at least one processor, at least one communication interface, at least one memory RAM and NVM and at least one bus access controller, wherein the bus access controller defines at least a first area PBL, a second area SBL and a secure area MZ. The first area comprises a first loader program capable of loading a program package in the second area.

  • Patent number: 11290869
    Abstract: The invention is a method for communication between a server and a user equipment through a set of command/response pairs. The user equipment uses an IMSI field of an Attach Request frame as defined by ETSI TS 124.008 to convey a command to the server. The server uses an Authentication parameter RAND field or an Authentication parameter AUTN field of an Authentication Request frame as defined by ETSI TS 124.008 to convey a response corresponding to the received command. The server sends the Authentication Request frame in response to the Attach Request frame.

  • Patent number: 10693842
    Abstract: A device for managing multiple accesses to a secure module of a system on chip of an apparatus, and comprises a stream ciphering means arranged for computing on the fly and in a single pass an integrity check for data to be transferred between secure and non secure modules of the system on chip with a seed and an encryption key, and for encrypting/decrypting on the fly and in this single pass these data with the encryption key, and a control means for providing the encryption key and seed to the stream ciphering means and for requesting data transfer and retrieving status to the secure and non secure modules for allowing the transfer of encrypted/decrypted data between the secure and non secure modules.

  • Patent number: 10608826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, for a provider entity belonging to a provider group, to authenticate its belonging to an attribute provider group to a verification entity in a non-traceable manner without necessitating to share secret or large constants compromising privacy. Both entities comprise at least one attribute group arborescence, this attribute group arborescence being shared by the provider entity and the verification entity when the provider entity has the attribute. According to the invention, when a verification is triggered, the verification entity calculates a certificate from the attribute group arborescence, said certificate being calculated from the authentication tokens of the groups along the arborescence from the attribute verification group's token to the consumer group's token.

  • Publication number: 20200021973
    Abstract: The invention related to a method for an eUICC embedded into a machine type communication device to trigger the download of a subscription profile from a first network operator, the eUICC being provisioned with an eUICC identifier and a pre-loaded data set memorizing a range of International Mobile Subscription Identifiers-associated to a second network operator, the method comprising the steps of: selecting randomly by the eUICC an IMSI number in the range memorized in the pre-loaded data set; sending an attachment request comprising the randomly selected IMSI; receiving in an authentication request message the request for getting the eUICC identifier; as a response, sending to the discovery server a authentication failure message; receiving in an authentication request message a temporary IMSI from the discovery server so that the machine type communication device is able to attach to the first network operator and download the pending subscription profile.

  • Patent number: 10298394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to authenticate two devices to establish a secure channel, one belonging to a first group of devices, the second belonging to a second group of devices, in a non-traceable manner without the need to share a secret, each group being authenticated by an authority that stores a group secret key into the devices under its authority. The method uses a set of authentication tokens, one for each of the other groups with which the device is intended to communicate, said authentication token comprising at least a random number and a cipher of at least this random number by the secret key of each of these other groups, said authentication tokens being further renewed at each communication with a device from another group.

  • Publication number: 20180139612
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for controlling remotely the rights of a target secure element to an execute an operation, said target secure element being configured to load a profile image and to store a first set of at least one parameter indicating if the secure element is locked or unlocked and, in case it is locked, who is the locker of said secure element. The method is operated by an image delivery server, said method and comprises the following steps: receiving a second set of at least one parameter and an operation code OP defining a requested operation to be performed by the target secure element, receiving a profile image to be transmitted to the secure element; generating a security scheme descriptor (SSD) file adapted to bind the profile image with the target secure element and further comprising the second set of at least one parameter and the operation code OP; sending the received image profile and the associated security scheme descriptor (SSD) file to the target secure element.

  • Publication number: 20180109943
    Abstract: A device is intended for controlling access of a communication equipment of a user to virtual stores of network operators accessible into servers. This device comprises a control means arranged, when this user provides the communication equipment of the user equipment with an access code associated to a virtual store of a network operator, for determining a communication identifier of a virtual store page corresponding to this access code and to data defining a context of the communication equipment into a table establishing correspondences between access codes and communication identifiers of pages of virtual stores providing offers corresponding to communication equipment contexts, then for triggering access by the communication equipment to the virtual store page associated to the determined communication identifier to allow the user to select an offer contained into this virtual store page.
