esim for consumer devices MWC 2016 Telefonica S.A. Feb. 2016
The SIM ensures connectivity & security for users What is a SIM? It s a computer. A SIM has memory, microprocessor, cryptoprocessor, OS, execution environment, communication protocols, input/output capabilities 2
The SIM ensures connectivity & security for users Why it is so relevant for customers & operators? Identity It authenticates the subscription (customers) and the network It grants access to the communication network regardless of the device Security Stores secret keys and information for securing communications Tamper proof! The information inside cannot be accessed without the right credentials. 3
How SIM has evolved: Hardware & Software Hardware Capabilities more memory, better processors, Form factor SIM, Micro SIM, Nano SIM, MFF2 Removable, soldered Software SIM, USIM, ISIM, Payments applets, Mobile Connect, 4
How SIM has evolved: new esim paradigm New devices and business cases lead to the esim Machine-to-machine (M2M) required a new type of SIM. Sometimes the SIM cannot be inserted easily. The devices might not be accessible. New conditions: temperature, vibration, humidity Country/operator might not be known or might need to be changed afterwards. and adding frictionless connectivity to the next billion devices (e.g. wearables and IoT) required a further evolution from M2M esim to esim for consumer devices. Subscriptions have to be remotely downloaded The UICC has to be included at factory/production time. 5
Common specification & Interoperability GSMA Specification Freedom of choice Any esim card should be interoperable with any remote server provided that both are compliant with the GSMA specification. Users should be able to choose any device regardless of the esim provider, device manufacturer or mobile operator. Operators should be able to select and deploy any remote server to manage any esim independently of the supplier. The key requirement is compliancy with GSMA specification.. The whole industry (Operators, SIM Vendors, Device manufactures, Chipset makers) is defining, supporting and endorsing a common specification for esim. A fully interoperable standard is required to ensure an open competitive market place, customer choice and a frictionless customer experience Interoperability 6
Telefónica has tested interoperability in 2015 Proof-of-concept (PoC) Architecture GSMA 2.0 compliant architecture Real mobile network for data connections SMSC in laboratory environment Oberthur Technologies server hosted in Paris Valid server hosted in Argentina INTEROPERABLE PROFILE PACKAGE Subscription Manager A set of key industry partners has participated in the PoC 7
Demo at MWC 2016 Key messages esim Connecting the next billion devices Telefónica is excited to bring a better connectivity experience to our customers, whilst preserving the trusted role the SIM has played in protecting our customers security and privacy Integrity, security, reliability The physical euicc element together with a strong certification-based authentication schema ensures that esim offers the same levels of trust (security, integrity, privacy) as the SIM today. Interoperability, diversity End-to-end download process of subscriptions to different devices from several vendors. Emulating both point of sales and customer-managed use cases. Subscriptions from different operators around the world: Chile, China, Spain, Peru, Qatar & UK. Remote servers from Giesecke & Devrient, Oberthur Technologies and Valid. esim from Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Oberthur Technologies and Valid. Different types of commercial devices from ALCATEL ONETOUCH, HUAWEI, LG, SAMSUNG and SONY MOBILE. 8
Demo at MWC 2016 Use cases 01 Provision and download of profiles This use case is a simulation of the user experience at the point of sales when a new contract is signed and the subscription has to be downloaded to the device. 02 Renewing a device This use-case emulates the process of moving the subscription from one device to another 03 Self-Managing Profiles This use case shows how the user can manage several subscriptions stored inside the esim 04 Telefonica UnicaSIM Card This demo shows how esim can improve the user experience for customers whilst also simplifying the logistics for operators and SIM suppliers 9
Demo at MWC 2016 Some details Subscriptions from different Operators China Unicom Ooredoo Qatar Movistar Chile, Movistar Peru, Movistar Spain O2-UK Point-of-Sales emulation Web access to show how subscriptions can be managed Local applications on devices Applications to show how user experience can be enhanced and how subscriptions are locally managed by the user Local Profile Assistant (LPA) at euicc Using Smart Card Web Server functionality as an example to show that euicc is really a powerful element that can perform all the logic required for Remote Subscription Management. 10
Gear S2 3G Classic RSP Phase 1 & Phase 2 demos Profiles download managed from both, the device and the SIM RSP Phase 2* RSP Phase 1 1.- Profile is downloaded to the smartphone Platform Platform The smartwatch gets the profile in direct connection with the platform. No additional device is needed. 2.- The smartphone connects and sends the profile to the smartwatch 11 Direct connection between platform and device, brings the capabilities needed to connect the next billion devices
