Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a method for efficiently distributing embedded control commands to one or more security elements, in particular so-called embedded universal integrated circuit cards, from mobile devices.
- the invention allows several updates to be combined into a so-called bundle in a simple manner, so that an update server does not have to issue and distribute special updates.
- the present invention is also directed to a correspondingly configured update arrangement and to a computer program product with control commands which implement the method or operate the update arrangement.
- US 2017 0171742 A1 shows a method for file system management, in particular on a so-called embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card.
- WO 2018/021897 A1 shows an electronic device, having an eUICC, on which several profiles are installed.
- WO 2016/041534 A2 shows a selection of a so-called subscriber profile in the context of an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card.
- US 2016 0316372 Al shows an installation of several profiles on a security element.
- SIM cards are known, which are either permanently integrated into a mobile terminal or can also be inserted in an exchangeable manner.
- Exchangeable SIM cards are also known as the Universal Integrated Circuit Card UICC, with one-piece end devices with an embedded SIM card, i.e. an embed ded Universal Integrated Circuit Card eUICC, being used in more and more applications. scenarios.
- One of these application scenarios is the so-called Internet of Things, in which everyday objects are equipped with a data interface.
- Such end devices require an operating system or firmware, which must also be updated accordingly.
- eUICCs can receive generic firmware update (FWU) packages with several firmware update images (FWUI) in one package and extract and import the necessary parts from them independently.
- FWU generic firmware update
- FWUI firmware update
- firmware update-capable eUICCs shows exemplary configurations (which are loaded onto eUICCs):
- Update Server- eUICC A typical FWU bundle transfer: Update Server- eUICC, according to the state of the art proceeds as follows:
- the FWU bundle is transferred as a complete package from an FW Update Server to a handset / device •
- the handset / device saves the complete FWU bundle in a suitable memory until the update has been carried out successfully
- the handset / device transparently divides the entire package into smaller blocks suitable for the eUICC and sends them to the eUICC via a suitable interface, such as a contactless interface
- the update servers must distribute the individual packages to the correct eUICC and know the exact, current firmware status. Each package must be precisely adapted to the firmware version and existing features on the eUICC.
- a method for efficiently distributing embedded control commands to a security element of a mobile terminal comprising a data transmission of a combined data packet, comprising a number of updates for the security element and configuration information from a server to the mobile terminal, reading out the transmitted Configuration information by the security element of the mobile terminal and selection of an update depending on the read configuration information and an actual configuration of the security element and execution of the selected update by the security element to adapt existing control commands of the security element.
- the method steps can be carried out iteratively and / or can have sub-steps.
- the data transmission can also take place in such a way that the combined data packet is split up and transmitted in individual packets over the network.
- the configuration information can also be read out iteratively in such a way that partial information is read out and processed.
- the update can also be carried out in several substeps or, for example, interrupted.
- the proposed method is therefore particularly efficient since the update server does not have to provide a separate update version for each version and platform of a mobile terminal or its security elements. Rather, according to the invention, several update versions are packed into a combined data package and according to the invention it is then possible for the security element to select and install the corresponding update from this.
- the embedded control commands form a firmware or a version of firmware in their entirety.
- a firmware version is an update which is integrated in the combined data package.
- the combined data packet contains, in a non-exhaustive list, the different updates that can be provided for different operating systems, versions and / or hardware platforms. Generic combined data packets are thus sent out, from which each security element selects the appropriate update or the appropriate update. It is therefore possible for the combined data packet to be made available to a large number of different security elements or mobile end devices without these data packets having to be individualized beforehand.
- These combined data packets are compiled by a server that combines several update versions.
- Configuration information is integrated in the combined data packet so that these update packets or the combined data packet can be interpreted and processed on the receiving end, namely on the mobile terminal or the security element.
- This meta information can thus describe that a first update is suitable for a first operating system and a second update for a second operating system.
- the security element On the basis of this meta information, namely the configuration information, it is possible for the security element to determine whether a suitable version of updates. For this purpose, the security element or the mobile terminal device can automatically read out which version of control commands is currently installed. The configuration information is then used to select from these several updates which specific update is to be installed in the present case. This is typically an update with the same operating system, but is available in a newer version.
- this is transmitted in terms of data technology, which means that the data packet is transmitted via a communication link.
- This communication link can have an air interface and can also be wired.
- a mobile radio network is typically used which has wired transmission links and then ultimately transmits the data packets to the mobile terminal by means of an air interface.
- security elements typically only provide small storage resources.
- the entire data packet can then be stored in the mobile terminal, and only the selected updates can be loaded into the memory of the security element. In this way, the memory of the security element is prevented from overflowing, since the security element typically cannot store several updates.
- the mobile terminal is communicatively coupled to the security element in such a way that the security element is either interchangeably integrated in the mobile terminal, or that the security element is embedded in the mobile terminal.
- the security element either a Universal Integrated Circuit Card or an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card.
- An embedded SIM card is preferred.
- the transmitted configuration information is read out by the security element of the mobile terminal and an update is selected depending on the read configuration information and an actual configuration of the security element. Since the configuration information describes the individual updates, it is possible for the mobile terminal or preferably the security element to interpret this meta information and then to recognize which update is suitable. For this purpose, the latest version of the updates is typically used, which is compatible with the prevailing operating system and the hardware platform. The security element can read this information itself, since it is the actual configuration of the security element. Another word for an actual configuration is the current configuration of the security element. For this purpose, interfaces are provided which enable the security element to determine which platform it is using or which operating system is available in which version. As a result, the actual configuration and the configuration information are compared and the security element selects the update which is suitable in the present case.
- Executing the selected update involves installing that update which was selected from the combined data packet on the basis of the update information or configuration information.
- To carry out the update it is necessary to use control commands which are already installed in the security element are to be overwritten, modified and / or supplemented. In this case, further procedural steps may be necessary, such as a restart of the mobile terminal, so that the updates can be used.
- the control commands i.e. the embedded control commands
- the embedded control commands are updated as firmware and, if necessary, security gaps have been closed or the functionality has been expanded.
- the present invention is not only directed to the update per se, which relates to the firmware, but more features, so-called features, can also be installed by nobility.
- the update can also be referred to as the base platform, and further features, for example Feature A and Feature B, can also be installed.
- the configuration information also describes such features. These features are selected in an analogous process, and the features described in the configuration information are compared with the actually existing features. These features are then installed as part of the execution of the selected update.
- the security element is provided as a Universal Integrated Circuit Card UICC or an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card eUICC.
- a Universal Integrated Circuit Card UICC or an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card eUICC.
- This has the advantage that existing interfaces can be reused and in particular that mobile devices from the application scenario of the Internet of Things can be used.
- Such end devices of the Internet of Things typically have corresponding security elements, so that no further data storage or processors are necessary.
- Another possible mobile terminal is a smartphone, the present invention preferably not being implemented as a smartphone.
- inventions According to the invention it is particularly advantageous that end devices from the Internet of Things application scenario are present in large numbers and that there are in particular different hardware platforms and software platforms. Consequently, the technical contribution is particularly advantageous in this area of application, since an efficient distribution of embedded control commands takes place and the efficiency comes into play especially with a large number of mobile devices.
- the embedded control commands are provided as firmware.
- firmware This has the advantage that software that is embedded in the electronic device can be updated. So-called flash memories or read-only memories can be used for this.
- Firmware is always functionally permanently connected to the hardware, which is why a technical contribution is made, even if a computer-implemented invention is proposed.
- the proposed method can, for example, be at least partially implemented as a network protocol.
- each update provides an independent adaptation of a base platform of the security element.
- This has the advantage that complete versions are provided and not individual control commands, so that the update process can be carried out with a single update. So-called features can be installed as an option, but this does not prevent the update from providing a complete version of an update.
- each update has at least one optional feature of an adaptation.
- This has the advantage that an update can be provided for a basic platform and additional features, such as Feature A and Feature B, can be provided.
- the functionality of the security element or of the mobile terminal can thus be expanded. As a result, not only firmware is provided, but additive functionality can also be installed.
- the functionality of the security element can also be reduced, ie functionality that is no longer required can be removed.
- the configuration information provides a reference to a compatible hardware platform and / or a compatible operating system. This has the advantage that it can be decided on the basis of this meta information which update or which features are selected. So it is always noted on a mobile device or on a security element which hardware platform is used or which operating system is used. Thus, an update from the plurality of updates can always be selected for the suitable manufacturer of the hardware or the operating system.
- the configuration information describes the updates with reference to existing updates, version, compatibility, availability and / or storage space requirements. This has the advantage that further meta information is provided which allows the security element to find the appropriate, ie. H.
- the selection of the update comprises a comparison of the transmitted configuration information with a currently created configuration information of the security element.
- unselected updates are discarded. This has the advantage that exactly one of the majority of the updates is selected and the further updates are not used for storing on the security element. There is therefore no problem with regard to the storage space, since the combined data packet can be stored on the mobile terminal and then only the relevant updates are loaded onto the security element. Unselected updates are then simply discarded, i.e. H. deleted.
- adapting existing control commands includes describing, supplementing, changing and / or expanding control commands.
- This has the advantage that the existing firmware can be updated in every respect, that is to say that entire parts of the existing update can be deactivated, overwritten and then restarted.
- the configuration information is stored at the beginning of the combined data packet. This has the advantage that the security element can read out the configuration information in any case, even if further updates have not yet been transmitted.
- the entire data memory cannot be read out, but rather it can already be determined from the configuration information whether an update version is relevant at all or not. As a result, irrelevant updates can be discarded after the configuration information has been read out.
- the updates have safety-critical control commands. This has the advantage that security-critical problems can be taken into account efficiently, and it is not necessary to work out specific updates, but rather a combined data packet can be transmitted generically and security measures can be implemented immediately.
- the mobile terminal does not provide voice support.
- the mobile device is selected from the application scenario of the so-called Internet of Things, with corresponding devices not offering voice functionality in comparison to smartphones.
- the so-called Internet of Things has its own specific requirements.
- the proposed invention is particularly advantageous for mobile devices that need to be updated.
- an update arrangement for the efficient distribution of embedded control commands to a security element of a mobile terminal having an interface, set up for the data transmission of a combined data packet, comprising several updates for the security element and configuration information from a server to the mobile terminal, a processor unit, set up to read out the transmitted configuration information by the security element of the mobile terminal and to select an update as a function of the read configuration information and an actual configuration of the security element, and an update unit, set up to carry out the selected update by the security element for adapting existing control commands of the security element.
- the object is also achieved by a computer program product with control commands which implement the method or operate the update arrangement.
- the method it is particularly advantageous for the method to have method steps which provide functional aspects which can also be replicated by the update arrangement.
- the update arrangement thus comprises structural features which provide a functionality which corresponds to the individual method steps.
- FIG. 1 an overview of a combined data packet according to an aspect of the present invention
- Fig. 2 is a schematic flow diagram of the proposed procedural REN
- FIG. 3 shows a further schematic flow diagram of the method for the efficient distribution of embedded control commands according to a further aspect of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 it is shown on the left side that there are a large number of updates and on the right side it is shown how this configuration is to be interpreted.
- the multitude of updates including features can be on the left-hand side, and the configuration information is indicated on the right-hand side.
- the different updates or the updates of the basic platform are shown on the left.
- the individual data fields contain individual characteristics. These are features A and / or B.
- the configuration information on the right-hand side has a link that points to the individual updates.
- the meta information, which indicates the version, storage location and storage space of the respective update, is also shown on the right-hand side.
- FIG. 2 shows a further example of the proposed method for the efficient distribution of embedded control commands. Alizations are referred to as updates and the optional features as features. An update for a basic platform is therefore an update according to the proposed terminology.
- Combined firmware update packages can be created, which in a bundle include contain the following data:
- the image configuration contains information about the changes and contents of the entire update package, for example:
- FWU packages can be addressed generically by an update server to the eUICCs. According to one aspect of the present invention, no further information about the exact configurations is necessary, since all relevant FWU images are contained in the bundle. The total of these FWU packages can be larger than the available HW memory on the eUICC, since several variants are included.
- processing steps are as follows:
- the handset / terminal sends the bundle in divided data packets to eUICC via a suitable I / O interface
- a data block As soon as a data block can be processed, it is processed. For example, If the image configuration consists of three data blocks, these are collected until this data block is complete and then evaluated when it is complete
- the eUICC reads and analyzes the image configuration, at the beginning of the bundle.
- the advantages of the solution include the following: -
- the complexity of managing FWU images is significantly reduced.
- a bundle with all specific updates images can be created and easily distributed.
- critical security updates can be quickly distributed from a server to all relevant eUICCs.
- An update server does not have to know all eUICC configurations in the field and a handset / terminal can transparently forward the update images to an eUICC.
- the target hardware selects the data that is relevant for itself.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method for the efficient distribution of embedded control commands to a security element of a mobile terminal, comprising a data transmission 100 of a combined data packet, comprising several updates for the security element, and configuration information from a server to the mobile terminal, a reading 101 of the transmitted 100 configuration information by the security element of the mobile terminal and selections 102 of an update depending on the read configuration information and an actual configuration of the security element, and an execution 103 of the selected 102 update by the security element to adapt existing control commands of the security element.
