Release 18 7 ETSI TS 102 224 V18.0.0 (2024-04)
1 Scope
The present document provides standardized security mechanisms in conjunction with the Card Application Toolkit for
the interface between a Network Entity and a UICC.
The security mechanisms which are specified are independent of applications.
The present document describes the functional requirements of the security mechanisms with the implementation detail
of these mechanisms being described in ETSI TS 102 225 [1].
Within the scope of the present document, the UICC refers here to an ICC which support at least one application in
order to access a cellular network.
The ICC is considered as a platform, which is based on ETSI TS 102 221 [4].

referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
• In the case of a reference to a TC SET document, a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version
of that document in the same Release as the present document.
NOTE: While any hyperlinks included in this clause were valid at the time of publication, ETSI cannot guarantee
their long term validity.
The following referenced documents are not necessary for the application of the present document but they assist the
user with regard to a particular subject area.

regulatory environment".
[i.2] ETSI TR 121 905: "Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2+) (GSM); Universal

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in ETSI TR 102 216 [i.3] and the following apply:
NOTE: A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in
ETSI TR 102 216 [i.3].
application layer: layer above the transport layer on which the application messages are exchanged between the
sending and receiving applications
application message: package of commands or data sent from the sending application to the receiving application, or
vice versa, independently of the transport mechanism
NOTE: An application message is transformed with respect to a chosen transport layer and chosen level of
security into one or more secured packets.
counter: mechanism or data field used for keeping track of a message sequence
NOTE: This could be realized as a sequence oriented or time stamp derived value maintaining a level of
synchronization.
cryptographic checksum: string of bits derived from some secret information, (e.g. a secret key), part or all of the
application message, and possible further information (e.g. part of the security header)
NOTE: The secret key is known to the sending entity and to the receiving entity. The Cryptographic checksum is
often referred to as Message Authentication Code (MAC).
digital signature: string of bits derived from some secret information (e.g. a secret key) the complete application
message, and possible further information (e.g. part of the security header)
NOTE: The secret information is known only to the sending entity. Although the authenticity of the digital
signature can be proved by the receiving entity, the receiving entity is not able to reproduce the digital
signature without knowledge of the secret information owned by the sending entity.
receiving application: entity to which the application message is destined
