Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for user authentication and human intent verification of administrative operations for eSIMs of an eUICC included in a mobile device are disclosed. Certain administrative operations, such as import, modification, and/or export, of an eSIM and/or for an eUICCs firmware can require user authentication and/or human intent verification before execution of the administrative operations are performed or completed by the mobile device. A user of the mobile device provides information to link an external user account to an eSIM upon (or subsequent to) installation on the eUICC. User credentials, such as a user name and password, and/or information generated therefrom, can be used to authenticate the user with an external server. In response to successful user authentication, the administrative operations are performed. Human intent verification can also be performed in conjunction with user authentication to prevent malware from interfering with eSIM and/or eUICC functions of the mobile device.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for human intent verification of administrative operations for an electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) of a mobile device, the method comprising:\n detecting by a processor of the mobile device initiation of an administrative operation for the eSIM of the mobile device; when the administrative operation for the eSIM requires human intent verification:\n verifying, via a secure processing environment of the mobile device, human intent to perform the administrative operation for the eSIM based on user input received by a secure input of the mobile device and transferred via a secure connection to the secure processing environment; and \n in response to successful determination of human intent to perform the administrative operation, performing, by an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) of the mobile device, the administrative operation for the eSIM; and \n when the administrative operation for the eSIM does not require human intent verification or user authentication, performing by the eUICC, the administrative operation for the eSIM.
