[00038] Application server 18 may control and/or execute a client application instance 22 for managing service provider profile to sim card 20. Throughout the present description, application server 18 is also referred to as CSLM 18.

[00039] Client application module 22 may be pre-integrated on the SIM Card 20 during the SIM Card manufacturing and/or personalization process or downloaded directly from application server 18. Once client application module 22 is available on SIM Card 20, client application 22 may be paired with application server 18, as will be described in detail herein, according with some embodiments of the present invention.

[00040] For example, client application 22 may obtain or generate the authentication and/or encryption key or key pair, for example, in conjunction with application server 18 or by sharing the authentication and/or encryption key with application server 18, as described in more detail herein below. Then, the client application module 22 may authenticate the instructions coming from the application server 18, for example, profile enable instruction received from application server 18. [00041] Pursuant to the pairing, client application module 22 and/or application server 18 may communicate secured instructions to each other, for example instructions from application server 18 to client application module 22 to enable an integrated profile on the SIM Card 20 or a confirmation and/or status of instruction execution from client application 22 to application sever 18. Application Server 18 may send the instruction to client application 22 to perform the profile management activity on the SIM Card 20.

[00042] Accordingly, client application module 22 may execute instructions, for example, to download a profile from SMDP+ System 15 by acquiring the SMDP+ Server address directly in instructions received from application server 18 or acquiring via SMDS Systems 14.

Client application module 22 may also execute local profile management instructions on SIM card 20 via eUICC Core 23, for example, instruction to enable an already downloaded profile on the SIM Card 20 and/or delete an previously downloaded profile on the SIM Card 20.

[00044] Once all received instructions from application server 18 are executed by client application module 22, client application 22 may send the execution status to application server 18. Once the instruction execution status is received by the application server 18, application server may update the status of the SIM Card 20 in its local and/or remote repository.

[00045] Further reference is now made to FIG. 3, which is a schematic illustration of an exemplary communication sequence 300, according to some embodiments of the present invention. The Fig. 3 illustrates the communication structure established as per the embodiments of the present disclosure. The constructional elements disclosed in the communication structure are an application server, a SIM card, a client application module, a eUICC core, a client terminal, SMDS systems and SMDP+ systems.

[00046] The application server is configured to create a profile management instruction set 25a. Application server transmits a request 9 to obtain an authentication code 24a, to a SMDP+ system. The application server 18 may use the authentication code 24a and create the profile management instruction set 25a.

[00047] The authentication code 24a refers to a profile package for a SIM card 20. As indicated in block 120, application server 18 may convert the profile management instruction 25a to a secure format known as pass secure information 25b as per the authentication/encryption key pairing according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[00048] The application server communicates and transmits the profile management instruction pass secure information 25b to a client terminal 12, which is then forwarded to the SIM Card 20. The SIM card 20 receives the pass secure information 25b from the client terminal 12 and converts the secure format 25b to the original format i.e. profile management instruction set 25a. Converting the secured format profile management instruction 25b to original format 25a includes removal of an encryption layer from the secured profile management instruction set 25b and convert into original format 25a.

[00049] The embedded client application module 22 of the SIM card is configured by the profde management instruction 25b to discover an address 26 of an SMDP+ system 15, to obtain the profile package 9. To discover the address 26 of an SMDP+ system 15, the client application module 22 requests an SMDS system 14 to provide the corresponding address of the SMDP+ system 15.

[00050] Thereafter, the SIM card establishes communication with the SMDP+ system and requests to obtain the profile package 9, through request 11. The SMDP+ system 15 is configured to transmit the profile package 9 based on request 11 to the client application module 22 of the SIM card 20. The profile package installing instructions is transmitted to the eUICC core 23 of the SIM card 20, by the client application module 22.

[00051 ] In some embodiments of the present invention, the profile management instruction set 25a may have instructions to perform local profile management, for example, disable the already downloaded profile on the SIM Card 20 and/or enable an already installed profde on the SIM Card 20.

[00052] As indicated in block 140, client application module 22 may send the profile management instructions execution status, to application server 18 to change the status of SIM card 20 on the application server 18, for example, post successfully downloading the profile package 9 and passing to eUICC Core 23, the client application 22 may send back successful status to application server 18 which application server 18 may use to mark the profile download and/or available and/or installed against the SIM Card 20 in the application server 18 repository.

[00053] Reference is also made to FIG. 4, which is another schematic illustration of an exemplary communication sequence 400 for local profile management instructions, according to an embodiments of the present invention. In this embodiment application server 18 may communicate and send the profile management instructions 29a to client application module 22 in a secured format 29b via client terminal 12.

[00054] The application server 18 is configured to convert the profile management instruction to another secure format known as pass secure information 29b. The client terminal receives the pass secure information 29b, and transmits the pass secure information 29b to the SIM card 23. The SIM card 20 receives the pass secure information 29b from the client terminal 12 and converts the secure format 29b to the original format i.e. profile management instruction set 29a.

[00055] Converting the secured format profile management instruction 29b to original format 29a includes removal of an encryption layer from the secured profile management instruction set 29b and convert into original format 25a. The SIM card i.e. the configures the client application module 22 to transmit the profile management instructions 29a to the eUICC Core 23. The eUICC executes the profde management instructions and transmits a change in profde status, as a result of execution of profde management instructions 29a to the application server. The transmission of change in profde status is performed by the client application module 22 [00056] Reference is also made to FIG. 5, which is another schematic illustration of an exemplary communication sequence 500 for pairing of application server 18 and SIM Card 20, according to some embodiments of the present invention. In this process, three distinct stages are described and marked with reference numerals 1-3.

[00057] In this embodiment of the present invention, SIM card 20 may communicate with application server 18 to generate an encryption key pair. The encryption key pair comprise of, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key pair, Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDES) key pair, a Ri vest- Shamir- Adleman (RSA) key pair or any other suitable public key encryption system.

[00058] The key pair, for example a private key, may be generated and/or stored, for example, by SIM card 20 and/or provided to client application module 22. Application server 18 may receive public key 27b from SIM card 20. The communication between Client application module 22 and application server 18 may be performed over a secured channel, by using the generated keys. The secured channel, can be such as a secured internet protocol channel, a secured Bearer Independent Protocol (BIP) channel, Short Message Service (SMS) message and/or any other suitable secured channel.

[00059] First, as shown at la and lb, pairing status of SIM Card 20 and application server 18 is checked from the application server 18 by the client application module 22. The pairing of the application server 18 and client application module 22 is based in the encryption key pair disclosed above.

[00060] Secondly, the transmitted keys are verified as being the same keys as exchanged at the time of pairing, each time the client application module is reset. If the step of Key pairing has not been performed, then as a second stage, if not already generated or pre-personalised, as disclosed in the previous paragraphs the SIM may generates a plurality of possible keys and an integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) or eUICC identifier (EID) of the SIM card 20 is read.

[00061] Thirdly, the SIM Card 20 registration is performed and sent to the application server 18 with the public key 27b or the seed to generate the possible keys. During this stage, as shown at 3a and 3b, information on the SIM Card is gathered and registered with the application server 18. The following items are included in a request sent in 3a:

[00062] ICCID and/or EID of the SIM Card;

[00063] Seed for the generation of the possible key(s) or public key;

[00064] Then, application server 18 receives the 3a items and SIM Card 20 registration is performed on the application server 18. Now, as shown at 3b, a confirmation is sent upon successful registration of the SIM Card 20.
