eUICC PROVISIONING FOR AUTONOMOUS DEVICES

A method of a Subscription Manager Secure Routing (SM-SR) entity of controlling embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) profile provisioning of a device comprising:

• receiving a request to provision the eUICC with a profile, which request comprises an eUICC identifier;
• verifying, with a registering authority being responsible for registering ownership of the device, that the eUICC identifier previously has been associated with a device identifier and that an ownership has been registered for the identified device;
• and
• in response to a verification being successful, provisioning the eUICC of the device with the requested profile.

An apparatus of a manufacturer entity configured to register an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) for a device, the apparatus comprising:

• a processing unit;
• and
• a memory, said memory containing instructions which, when executed by said processing unit, cause the apparatus to:
• register an eUICC identifier and a device identifier with a registering authority being responsible for registering ownership of the device, wherein an owner of the device subsequently registers ownership of the device by providing the device identifier to the registering authority along with an owner identifier.
