Method for provisioning of a network access for a mobile communication device using the mobile communication device

摘要

The invention refers to a method for provisioning of a network access for a mobile communication device having at least one communication interface. A mobile communication device comprising a secure payment application in a secure environment is provided. Network access from a network operator with the mobile communication device is requested. A payment to the network operator for the requested network access using the secure payment application is conducted. A network access application from the network operator is downloaded and the network access application in the secure environment of the mobile communication device is stored wherein the network access application is used for an authentication of the mobile communication device to the mobile network.

1. A method for provisioning network access for a mobile communication device having at least one communication interface, comprising:
providing a mobile communication device comprising a secure environment having a secure operating system and an unsecure environment having an unsecure operating system, wherein said secure environment comprises a secure payment application; requesting communication network access from a network operator with the mobile communication device for the mobile communication device; processing a payment to the network operator for the requested communication network access by the mobile communication device using the secure payment application executed in the secure environment by the secure operating system of the mobile communication device; downloading a communication network access application from the network operator and storing the communication network access application in the secure environment of the mobile communication device and using the communication network access application executed in the secure environment by the secure operating system for an authentication of the mobile communication device to a mobile communication network,
wherein separate communication network access applications are downloaded for different communication networks so that the mobile communication device is able to switch between the different communication networks,wherein downloading the communication network access application comprises downloading an authentication key and/or an authentication algorithm of the communication network to be accessed,wherein the authentication key and/or the authentication algorithm in the secure environment of the mobile communication device are invalidated or deleted after having reached an invalidation time and/or date, andwherein the communication networks are cellular networks.
