  • Patent number: 10015665
    Abstract: A system can receive a request to modify a universal integrated circuit card, generate a package comprising configuration data for modifying the universal integrated circuit card, instruct an over-the-air system to transmit the package encrypting the package with a transport key to generate an encrypted package, and transmit the encrypted package to a communication device communicatively coupled to the universal integrated circuit card to provision the universal integrated circuit card. The system can provide a mobile network operator trusted service manager system information relating to the configuration data to enable the mobile network operator trusted service manager system to manage content and memory allocation of the universal integrated circuit card.

  • Publication number: 20180184282
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that manages utilization of mobile subscriber identity information including enabling reuse of such information by a different communication device and/or re-authorizing use by a communication device that previously was authorized to utilize the information. The reassignment of mobile subscriber identity information can be based on detecting a registration that utilizes a bootstrap mobile subscriber identity information or a registration based on a mobile subscriber identity information that the network has designated not for use by the particular communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180160288
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that receives a notification, from an identity proxy function, indicating an identity mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) is being registered. That is, a communication device sends a registration request that includes the IMSI to a first registration function. Further, the identity proxy function intercepts the registration request and sends the first notification to the device. Also, the system, sends a first registration message to the first registration function. The first registration function includes a first registry. Further, the first registration message indicates to the first registration function to add the IMSI to the first registry. The system also sends a second registration message to a second registration function. The second registration function includes a second registry. Further, the second registration message indicates to the second registration function to remove the IMSI to the first registry.

  • Publication number: 20180160385
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that receives a first notification indicating a first international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) is being registered. A communication device sends a first registration request that includes the first IMSI to a registration function. Further, an identity proxy function intercepts the first registration request and sends the first notification to the device. In addition, the system receives from a billing server a request for services for the communication device. Further, the system provides a first Over-the-Air (OTA) message to the communication device that includes a second IMSI that is provisioned onto the communication device. Also, the system sends a first registration message to the registration function. The registration function includes a registry. The first registration message includes first instructions to indicate to the registration function to add the second IMSI to the registry. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180160387
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that registers a communication device with a temporary IMSI shared among multiple communication devices with a virtual registration function. Further, the system provisions an active IMSI using a virtual Over-the-Air (OTA) function onto the communication device and indicates to the communication device to register with a registration function using the active IMSI. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180145980
    Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, obtaining programming data via an over-the-air programming message for use by a communication device, wherein the over-the-air programming message is obtained from, and encrypted by an over-the-air programming server. The over-the-air programming message is decrypted utilizing a first keyset obtained by a secure device processor processing the first keyset obtained from a remote management server via transmission by the over-the-air programming server, to generate a first-key decrypted over-the-air programming message. The decrypted over-the-air programming message is provided to a secure element to enable the secure element to further decrypt the first-key decrypted over-the-air programming message utilizing a second keyset, wherein the secure device processor does not have access to the second keyset. Other embodiments are disclosed.
