SIMalliance Publishes Guidelines to Enhance Interoperability and Ease Deployment of SIM-Based Mobile Connect Authentication Services

December 2016 by Marc Jacob

SIMalliance has published a set of guidelines which will make it easier for mobile network operators (MNOs), service and solution providers to deploy Mobile Connect services which use an authentication application provisioned on the user’s SIM card.

Mobile Connect is a global solution, provided by the GSMA, for mobile phone based authentication, authorisation, identity and attribute services. It provides a secure, universal log-in process which allows users to be matched to their mobile phones, permitting them to log-in to websites and applications quickly with no need to remember passwords and user names.

One of the authentication mechanisms specified by the GSMA uses a SIM-based authentication application. In this type of Mobile Connect deployment, there are generally four ecosystem components: the SIM; the authentication application; the Over-the-Air (OTA) platform and the Mobile Signature Service Provider (MSSP) platform. As all of these components may be provided by different ecosystem actors, it is essential that the interfaces between them are interoperable.

SIMalliance’s objective in publishing Mobile Connect SIM Applet Interoperability Stepping Stones is to provide essential guidelines which will improve interworking between MNOs, service and solution providers and to simplify the interactions of the various components required for this type of solution. It also offers an analysis of the most relevant card features required to support the Mobile Connect application in order to support the operator in identifying the most suitable combination of functionalities that is compatible with the USIM deployed in the field. It also provides specific suggestions for effective testing.

Mobile Connect SIM Applet Interoperability Stepping Stones can be downloaded from the SIMalliance website.
