Abstract
A method that may be performed by a profile management server for managing the profiles of a secure entity, such as an embedded universal integrated circuit card. The method may include sending a message to the secure entity in order to modify the active profile of the entity; initializing and starting a timer; and in the event that the server does not receive a message indicating which profile is active in the secure entity before the expiry of a predetermined duration after the starting of the timer, then starting an audit procedure for determining which profile is actually active in the secure entity.
Claims10
A method performed by a profile management server for managing profiles of a secure entity, the method comprising:
- sending a message to said secure entity in order to modify an active profile of said secure entity;
- initializing and starting a timer;
- and
- in the event of said profile management server not receiving a message indicating which profile is the active profile in said secure entity before the expiry of a predetermined duration after said starting of the timer:
- starting an audit procedure for determining which profile of the profiles is the active profile in said secure entity.
A profile management server for managing profiles of a secure entity, the profile management server comprising:
- a memory that contains instructions;
- a network access module;
- and
- a processor, operably connected to the memory and the network access module, that executes the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- sending a message from the network access module to said secure entity in order to modify an active profile of said secure entity;
- initializing and starting a timer;
- and
- in the event of said profile management server not receiving a message indicating which profile is the active profile in said secure entity before the expiry of a predetermined duration after said starting of the timer:
- starting an audit procedure for determining which profile of the profiles is the active profile in said secure entity.
A non-transitory computer readable data medium storing a computer program including instructions that, when executed by a processor of a profile management server, perform a profile management method, the profile management method comprising:
- sending a message to a secure entity in order to modify an active profile of said secure entity, wherein said secure entity includes a plurality of profiles;
- initializing and starting a timer;
- and
- in the event that the profile management server does not receive a message indicating which profile, among the plurality of profiles, is the active profile in said secure entity before expiry of a predetermined duration after the starting of the timer, then
- starting an audit procedure for determining which profile among the plurality of profiles is the active profile in said secure entity.
