APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING SECURITY DOMAINS FOR A UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD

摘要

A device that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, generating a security domain root structure for a universal integrated circuit card of an end user device, where the security domain root structure includes a hierarchy of a link provider operator security domain above a mobile network operator trusted security domain, where the link provider operator security domain enables transport management by a link provider operator, and where the mobile network operator trusted security domain enables card content management and subscription eligibility verification by a mobile network operator trusted service manager. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a universal integrated circuit card; a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving an over-the-air message; andresponsive to the over-the-air message, generating a security domain root structure for the universal integrated circuit card, wherein the security domain root structure includes a hierarchy of a link provider operator security domain above a mobile network operator trusted security domain, wherein the link provider operator security domain enables transport management by a link provider operator, and wherein the mobile network operator trusted security domain enables card content management and subscription eligibility verification by a mobile network operator trusted service manager.
