Techniques for provisioning bootstrap electronic subscriber identity modules (esims) to mobile devices

An electronic Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) configured to generate and issue a bootstrap electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) request to a mobile device in which the eUICC is included, the eUICC comprising:

• at least one processor configured to cause the eUICC to:
• receive, from the mobile device, a command to obtain a bootstrap eSIM, wherein the command includes first metadata that identifies one or more operational aspects associated with the mobile device;
• gather second metadata associated with the eUICC;
• generate the bootstrap eSIM request based on (i) the first metadata associated with the mobile device, and (ii) second metadata that identifies one or more operational aspects associated with the eUICC;
• provide the bootstrap eSIM request to the mobile device;
• receive the bootstrap eSIM from the mobile device, wherein the bootstrap eSIM is formed in accordance with the first and second metadata;
• and
• install the bootstrap eSIM on the eUICC.

A bootstrap electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) selection server configured to select a bootstrap eSIM for a mobile device, the bootstrap eSIM selection server comprising:

• at least one processor configured to cause the bootstrap eSIM selection server to:
• receive, from the mobile device, a bootstrap eSIM request that includes (i) first metadata that identifies one or more operational aspects associated with the mobile device, and (ii) second metadata that identifies one or more operational aspects associated with an electronic Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) included in the mobile device;
• identify, based on the first metadata and the second metadata, a particular bootstrap eSIM for the mobile device;
• bind the particular bootstrap eSIM to the mobile device in accordance with the first and second metadata;
• generate a bootstrap eSIM package that includes information for obtaining the particular bootstrap eSIM;
• and
• provide the bootstrap eSIM package to the mobile device.
