Patent 10277587 was granted and assigned to Apple (company) on April, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods are provided for instantiating multiple electronic subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) to an electronic universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) using a manufacturer-installed data binary large object (data blob). An eSIM package including the data blob in encrypted form is securely installed in the eUICC in a manufacturing environment. A key encryption key (KEK) associated with the eSIM package is separately provided to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wireless device factory. The OEM wireless device factory provides the KEK to the eUICC within a given wireless device. The eUICC uses the KEK to decrypt the eSIM package and provide the data blob. The eUICC can receive a request to instantiate a first eSIM. The eUICC can instantiate the first eSIM using data from the data blob. A user can then access network services using the wireless device. Subsequently, a second eSIM can be instantiated by the eUICC using the data blob.
