  • Patent number: 10966081
    Abstract: A system for registering an MSISDN with a device hosting the UICC and in which the UICC is or can be operated includes a UICC provisioning server operated by an UICC different from the MNO. A Local Profile Assistant LPA is installed within the device or the UICC, and enables establishment of secured data sessions between the UICC and the UICC provisioning server. A modem is installed within the device or UICC. The modem enables communication of the device within a mobile network operator MNO mobile network. An MSISDN retrieval logic is associated with the LPA. A logic is constructed to perform a retrieval sequence with the foregoing components and data.

  • Patent number: 9900320
    Abstract: The invention provides a mobile station comprising a mobile end device, security resources, and a discovery module implemented in the mobile station, with which the security resources of the mobile station are discoverable, at least one security level of the mobile station that is achievable by means of the security resources is derivable, and derived security levels of the mobile station are outputable. Further, there are stated an application loading system having such a mobile station, and a risk assessment system for mobile stations.

  • Patent number: 9591488
    Abstract: The invention creates a mobile station comprising a mobile end device (ME) with a secured runtime environment (TEE) and a removable or firmly implemented security element (SE), with an end device send server (TEE-TSM) arranged in the security element (SE), which is arranged to send to the secured runtime environment (TEE) end device messages which can be received by the secured runtime environment (TEE). The end device messages are sent by a trusted service manager (SE-TSM), which is provided for the security element (SE), to the security element (SE), thereby higher efficiency being guaranteed at maintained security.

  • Patent number: 9298949
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for programming a chip for a mobile end device, wherein, in a preparatory step, a serial number is programmed into the chip and thereafter, in a programming step, the serial number is verified and a programming of at least one further datum into the chip is only carried out if the serial number has been successfully verified. The serial number is verified here by means of a security module (HSM), while employing a secret information item stored in the security module (HSM) and different from the serial number.

  • Publication number: 20150331698
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for loading an application unit into a device, with the device comprising a plurality of device components, and the application unit comprising two or more application components, and one application component being intended for one device component in each case. The application unit is loaded into a selected device component of the device components. Starting out from the selected device component, each application component is loaded into that device component for which the application component is intended.
