Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for securely configuring a Java Card virtual machine operating on a cellular device's application processor. In one embodiment, a connected device with an integrated cellular modem, a virtual universal integrated circuit chip and an integrated fingerprint scanner are used. In another embodiment, the cellular device's built-in camera is used, instead of an integrated fingerprint scanner, to capture the user's facial image.
Claims20
A mobile station comprising:
- a modem and at least one antenna configured to communicate with a plurality of cellular networks;
- and
- one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, configure a mobile application running on a processor that facilitates communication between the modem and a virtual reprogrammable universal integrated circuit chip (eUICC) that is not physically or electrically connected to the modem,
- wherein security of the virtual eUICC is maintained using user-provided biometric information and without reliance on a trusted execution environment of the mobile station.
A method for communicating in multi-active mode with a plurality of cellular networks, the method comprising:
- providing a mobile device having a modem and at least one antenna configured to communicate with a plurality of cellular networks;
- and
- configuring a mobile application running on a processor to facilitate communication between the modem and a virtual reprogrammable universal integrated circuit chip (eUICC) that is not physically or electrically connected to the modem,
- wherein security of the virtual eUICC is maintained using user-provided biometric information and without reliance on a trusted execution environment of the mobile station.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a mobile station having a modem and at least one antenna configured to communicate with a plurality of cellular networks, cause the mobile station to:
- configure a mobile application running on a processor to facilitate communication between the modem and a virtual reprogrammable universal integrated circuit chip (eUICC) that is not physically or electrically connected to the modem,
- wherein security of the virtual eUICC is maintained using user-provided biometric information and without reliance on a trusted execution environment of the mobile station.
