Abstract: Representative embodiments described herein set forth techniques for optimizing large-scale deliveries of electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) to mobile devices. Specifically, instead of generating and assigning eSIMs when mobile devices are being activated—which can require significant processing overhead—eSIMs are pre-generated with a basic set of information, and are later-assigned to the mobile devices when they are activated. This can provide considerable benefits over conventional approaches that involve generating and assigning eSIMs during mobile device activation, especially when new mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, etc.) are being launched and a large number of eSIM assignment requests are to be fulfilled in an efficient manner.

Abstract: A uniform protocol can facilitate secure, authenticated communication between a controller device and an accessory device that is controlled by the controller. An accessory and a controller can establish a pairing, the existence of which can be verified at a later time and used to create a secure communication session. The accessory can provide an accessory definition record that defines the accessory as a collection of services, each service having one or more characteristics. Within a secure communication session, the controller can interrogate the characteristics to determine accessory state and/or modify the characteristics to instruct the accessory to change its state.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are different techniques for enabling a mobile device to dynamically support different authentication algorithms. A first technique involves configuring an eUICC included in the mobile device to implement various authentication algorithms that are utilized by MNOs (e.g., MNOs with which the mobile device can interact). Specifically, this technique involves the eUICC storing executable code for each of the various authentication algorithms. According to this technique, the eUICC is configured to manage at least one eSIM, where the eSIM includes (i) an identifier that corresponds to one of the various authentication algorithms implemented by the eUICC, and (ii) authentication parameters that are compatible with the authentication algorithm. A second technique involves configuring the eUICC to interface with an eSIM to extract (i) executable code for an authentication algorithm used by an MNO that corresponds to the eSIM, and (ii) authentication parameters that are compatible with the authentication algorithm.

Abstract: A policy-based framework is described. This policy-based framework may be used to specify the privileges for logical entities to perform operations associated with an access-control element (such as an electronic Subscriber Identity Module) located within a secure element in an electronic device. Note that different logical entities may have different privileges for different operations associated with the same or different access-control elements. Moreover, the policy-based framework may specify types of credentials that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different types of credentials may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities. Furthermore, the policy-based framework may specify the security protocols and security levels that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different security protocols and security levels may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities.
