Virtual Subscriber Identification Module and Virtual Smart Card

Abstract:

A system, method and apparatus to authenticate an endpoint having a secure memory device. For example, a card profile can be selected, configured, and/or stored into the secure memory device based on endpoint identity data representative of a component configuration of the endpoint, including the device identity representative of the memory device and other components. The card profile can be used by the endpoint to emulate a physical smart card and can be viewed a virtual smart card, such as a virtual subscriber identification module (SIM) card for accessing a cellular connection.
