Knowledge Base - EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA support
USIMERA PRIME with Milenage support has EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA Native support.
None of our other cards have native support for EAP-SIM / EAP-AKA.
However EAP-SIM / EAP-AKA works anyway. Because EAP Implementations can use two possible architectures:
- Supplicant - EAP Legacy: the EAP requests and responses are processed by the terminal and the cryptographic computing is performed by the UICC. This implementation is more terminal-oriented.
- Supplicant - EAP Native: these two main tasks are performed by the SIM, and the terminal is only used to forward EAP requests to the UICC and EAP responses to the authenticator. This implementation is more SIM-oriented.
The SIM can have (or have not) the eap-sim/eap-aka supplicant embeddeded. The ones we provide today have not, except the USIMERA PRIME card. If they do, the client driver should simply offload all info to the card itself. If they don't then it is the phone that own the supplicant and query the card just for the internal values.

UICC
A high capacity smart card used in mobile terminals for GSM, UMTS/3G and now 4G/LTE networks.

USIM
Universal Subscriber Identity Module. A SIM with adbanced software that ensures continuity when migrating to 3G services.
SIM
A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit chip that is intended to securely store the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices.

AKA
Authentication and Key Agreement. The process by which the Authentication Centre (AuC) and UE exchange information by which they can each verify a secret key held by the other, and then calculate keys to be used for ciphering and integrity protection of data transmitted between the UE and the network. See 3GPP TS33.102 Section 6.3 and TS33.401 Section 6.1.

RAT
Radio Access Technology. The RAT is the type of radio technology used in a Radio Access Network (RAN) to access the Core Network (CN), e.g. UMTS, GSM, CDMA2000, WiMAX.
IM
Using text on a mobile handset to communicate in real time
OS
Operating System. Software that runs on computers and other smart devices and that manages the way they function.
SE
Secure Element. A secure and personalised physical component added to a system to manage users rights and to host secure apps. SE typically consist of a Silicon Chip, a secure Operating System, application software and a secure protocol to communicate to the device. SE can be a removable device (such as UICC or µSD for mobile devices or MIM for M2M connected machines). SE can also be components inside the system.
BS
Base Station. The entity in a radio access network responsible for radio trans- mission and reception in one or more cells to and from the UE. In LTE the BS is known as the eNodeB.

HE
Home Environment. The HE of a subscriber is responsible for the overall pro- vision and control of the personal service environment to the subscriber.Â
HO
HandOver. HO is a procedure by which a mobile terminal changes serving cells (within the same frequency or on different frequencies or even on different Radio Access Technologies (RAT)). See 3GPP TS36.133.
RF
Radio Frequency. Refers to signal oscillation frequencies such that if the signal is input to an antenna an electromagnetic field is generated suitable for wireless communication. These frequencies cover a significant part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, ranging from a few kilohertz to hundreds of gigahertz. See 3GPP TR36.942 for some discussion of related issues.
UE
User Equipment. The mobile unit which allows a user to access network services, connecting to the UTRAN or E-UTRAN via the radio interface. A UE can be subdivided into a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and a Mo- bile Equipment (ME). See 3GPP TS21.905 Section 3.
SMAGT
Smartjac GT (SMAGT) series of UICC / SIM cards ranging from standard 3G cards with USIM, ISIM & Milenage support, to advanced multi-application LTE UICC cards with Milenage support, with ready to use test NFC-applications, USIM, ISIM and CSIM.
