METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVISIONING APPLICATIONS ON SIM CARDS OF A MOBILE TERMINAL DEVICE

摘要

The method involves transmitting a subscriber identity module (SIM) application (1) to a SIM-over-the-air (OTA) enabler. An application request is sent (2) to the enabler by a user of a SIM card for downloading an application. The request is examined for validity based on a set of rules by the enabler, where a third party provider requires an authorization such as a certificate, user identification and password, to authenticate in relation to an enabler platform. The application is accessed by the enabler and transmitted (5) to the SIM card on the mobile terminal over an OTA. An independent claim is also included for a system for individually providing applications to a mobile terminal.
