Abstract: Method and system for generating transactions comprising defining one or more conditions for a transaction. Adding the one or more conditions to blocks within a distributed ledger. Generating by a first device, an offer for a digital asset, wherein the offer is digitally signed by a secure applet executing within a UICC of the first device. Generating by a second device, a request for the digital asset, wherein the request is digitally signed by a secure applet executing within a UICC of the second device. Authenticating the digital signatures of the offer and of the request. Determining that the offer and request meet the one or more conditions added to the distributed ledger and if the one or more conditions are met by the offer and the request then digitally signing the digital asset by the secure applet executing within the UICC of the first device. Transmitting the signed digital asset from the first device to the second device.

Abstract: Method and system for distributing sensor data, the method comprising the steps of recording data from one or more sensors of a device. Digitally signing the data or information derived from the data within a UICC of the device using a private key of a private and public key pair stored within the UICC of the device. Authenticating the digitally signed data or information derived from the data by a server. Triggering, by the authenticated data or information derived from the data, an entry into a distributed ledger identifying the data or information derived from the data. Receiving a request from a requester for the data or information derived from the data in response to the entry within the distributed ledger. Transmitting the data or information derived from the data from the device to the requester.

Abstract: A telecommunications system is provided, comprising a plurality of different cellular telecommunications networks, an identity module registrable on the plurality of different networks and containing multiple unique identifiers, each unique identifier being associated with a respective network; and, a device, operative in accordance with the identity module, to communicate with the networks when the identity module is registered on that network. The identity module comprises a common security key associated with at least two of the unique identifiers such that the identity module is registrable on each one of the plurality of networks when a unique identifier of the identity module and its associated security key are authenticated for that network.

Abstract: System and method for managing devices comprising a memory store having memory locations, wherein each memory location stores one or more attributes associated with one or more devices. Device manager arranged to execute commands to take an action on the one or more attributes stored in the memory locations, and to receive from the one or more devices values of the corresponding one or more attributes. Synchronizer configured to maintain synchronization between the attributes stored in the memory store and the attributes associated with the devices.

Abstract: A cellular telecommunications network for facilitating communication connections for terminals having token identification modules, the network including: a location register for receiving requests to access the network and, if the requests are associated with a token identification module, redirecting the requests; a token register which receives redirected requests, generates connection identification data and transmits the connection identification data to the location register to identify the terminal to the location register; a network gateway component for establishing a communication between the network and the terminal in accordance with the connection identification data; and a network monitoring component for performing service management, such as a session authentication check. A network implementing the invention is capable of providing data communication sessions to terminals having identification modules that are not associated with MSISDN numbers.

Abstract: A cellular telecommunications network is provided that facilitates communication connections for terminals having identification modules that are not associated with a subscriber record or Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN) number. The cellular telecommunications network implements providing a pool of unique connection numbers in response to a request for communication with a device incorporating a token identification module, assigning a selected one of the pooled numbers to the token identification module in a location register; and initiating a reconnection event, thereby providing the assigned number to the device by associating the device with a temporary unique connection number in the location register Embodiments described are directed to Machine-to-Machine (M2M) client terminals with embedded token identification modules.
