Abstract: A mobile device and UICC communication using standard Internet protocols. Such communication allows users access to their UICC information using standard web browsers and allows use of the UICCs to communicate with remote servers and thereby provide secure services for Internet transactions. The mobile device has a communications module to selectively communicate with the UICC processor or with at least one node on a network, the mobile device communications module has an Internet protocol module operable to receive messages issued from a first Internet application as Internet protocol packets, and to transmit the packets to target IP addresses; and operable to receive Internet protocol packets, to process the packets, and to send the messages contained in the packets to the first Internet application.
