4. Technical drivers for eUICC
eUICC = embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card
Smaller physical size as the SIM slot is too big
Battery size is a must, as mobile CPU power is up
Design trend for thinner devices
Physical Security
By tying physically the security to the device hardware
Environment : heat, vibrations, etc…
Specifically in M2M
Endurance , long lifetime
Specifically in M2M
Turn-key solution as security is complex

subscription anytime remotely and
securely on a UICC without
network disruption
eUICC
2
A solution which permit to swap
from a MNO subscription to
MNO 1 MNO 2 another remotely and securely.

8. The embedded UICC
a number of challenges to overcome !
Legal issues Business issues
Regulation Subsidy / Subscription period
Liabilities Third party services
Property Segmentation
Security issues Technical issues
Certification High Availability
Transfer of credentials Compliance with requirements
Subsidy Lock Multi-sourcing
Trust model Security
User Experience
Activation method/time
Customer care
Device renewal
Device resell

9. The embedded UICC in a nutshell
Introduces flexibility to foster M2M market expansion
Business model to be set up by the different actors
Highly dependent on the segment (Industrial M2M, consumer, …)
Standardisation under progress : GSMA, ETSI
Security is a key asset of GSM/3G/LTE, to be maintained
or enhanced with embedded UICC
Technical solutions exist:
