11 Security requirements

31.1113GPPRelease 18TSUniversal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) Application Toolkit (USAT)

TS 31.115 [41] and TS 31.116 [51] specify standardized methods of securing the content of application messages. If it is necessary to secure application messaging to Toolkit applications, then TS 31.115 [41] and TS 31.116 [51] may be used.

Annex A (normative):
Support of USAT by Mobile Equipment

Support of USAT is optional for Mobile Equipment. However, if an ME states conformance with a specific 3GPP release, it is mandatory for the ME to support all functions of that release, with the exception of the functions:

– "Alpha identifier in REFRESH command supported by terminal";

– "Event Language Selection";

– "Proactive UICC: PROVIDE LOCAL INFORMATION (language)"; and

– "Proactive UICC: LANGUAGE NOTIFICATION".

The support of USAT implies the support of CAT (ETSI TS 102 223 [32]).

The support of letter classes, which specify mainly ME hardware dependent features, is optional for the ME and may supplement the USAT functionality described in the present document. If an ME states conformance to a letter class, it is mandatory to support all functions within the respective letter class.

The table below indicates the commands and functions of the optional letter classes.
