Method and device for managing profiles in an esim

A method for managing profiles in an eUICC-enabled SIM, eSIM, card having an ability to run over-the-air, OTA, provisioning of multiple network operator profiles from a central management point, CMP, including an eSIM Remote Manager, eIM, and/or a Subscription Manager Data Preparation enhanced, SM-DP+, , and being configured to simultaneously use multiple enabled profiles, MEP, the method comprising:

• steps in which the eUICC manages CMP controlled profiles provisioned by the central management point;
• and
• steps in which the eUICC manages user-API controlled profiles controlled by a user through a local user-API,
• the eSIM card storing said profiles in a profile memory, wherein a profile property and/or a profile position in the profile memory represents the profile type;
• wherein the eUICC has a unique Issuer Security Domain Root, ISD-R 160, that receives profile management commands for both types of profiles through:
• a first logical secure interface, LSI0, dedicated to user-API controlled profiles, said first LSI being configured to identify a user-API controlled profile based on said user-API controlled profile property and/or said user-API controlled profile position in the profile memory, to provide first management commands dedicated to user-API controlled profiles to the ISD-R, or
• a second logical secure interface, LSI1, dedicated to CMP controlled profiles, said second LSI being configured to identify a CMP controlled profile based on said CMP controlled profile property and/or said CMP controlled profile position in the profile memory, to provide second management commands dedicated to CMP controlled profiles to the ISD-R, and
• wherein the ISD-R executes first management commands only on user-API controlled profiles and second management commands, different from the first management commands, only on CMP controlled profiles.
