Introduction
The current specification of the (e)UICC is based on the ISO/IEC 7816 series [1] of specifications for IC-cards. This
series of specifications has been developed in the 1980s and was suitable at that point in time but today limits the
capabilities that are required by the market. The current (e)UICC specifications also link the form factor to the electrical
interface and the logical protocol. This link limits the (e)UICC implementations to specified form factors.
New requirements are emerging, for example inspired by embedded secure elements in terminals that are intended to
provide security services or store data securely. Such embedded secure elements may come in different form factors and
are intended to be integrated into the terminals architecture and using electrical and physical interfaces other than those
used by the (e)UICC. Such secure elements could also provide the capability to store large amount of data to be
protected which requires new and more efficient ways to store and manage data.

1 Scope
The present document defines the use cases and requirements for the definition of the interfaces and protocols for
interfacing with a secure element. This secure element is called Smart Secure Platform (SSP).
