SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 812 V2.1.1 for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) security aspects. It defines the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to Mobile Equipment (ME) interface for TETRA network operation, including SIM characteristics, commands, file contents, and security procedures used by terminals, SIM issuers, and network operators.

What does SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 specifies the SIM-ME interface used during the TETRA network operation phase and the SIM organization that supports that phase. It is aimed at interoperability between SIMs and MEs made by different manufacturers and used by different operators.

The document is organized into clauses on scope, references, definitions, SIM characteristics, electrical signals and protocols, the logical file model, security features, interface functions, commands, file contents, and application protocol. The annexes cover specific usage cases and supporting material.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 combines physical interface rules, security behavior, command handling, and file definitions. In practice, it tells implementers what the card must expose, how the ME should talk to it, and which records hold subscriber, network, and security data.

SIM, contacts, and signaling

Clause 4 covers the SIM format and layout, temperature range, contacts, contact pressure, static protection, and precedence for multiple SIM operation. Clause 5 defines the contact signals and transmission behavior, including supply voltage handling for 5 V and 3 V technology SIMs, reset, clock, I/O, ATR, baud rate, and error handling. For readers, this means the card and terminal must physically and electrically match before higher-level services can work.

Logical model and security

Clause 6 defines the file model used by the SIM, including file identifiers, Dedicated Files (DF), Elementary Files (EF), and the different EF structures: transparent, linear fixed, key, and cyclic. Clause 7 covers authentication and cipher key generation, Over The Air Re-keying (OTAR) distribution of cipher keys, SIM-ME enhanced security, file access conditions, and storage of DCK. This is the core of secure provisioning: it controls who can read, update, or invalidate sensitive data.

Commands, files, and procedures

Clauses 8 to 11 define the interface functions, commands, status responses, file contents, and application protocol. They include SELECT, READ and UPDATE commands, CHV operations, file invalidation and rehabilitation, TETRA authentication algorithms, OTAR algorithms, SIM initialization, TETRA session setup and termination, and procedures for group identities, dialling numbers, emergency calls, and SDS messages. For implementation, this is the part that turns the file model into working behavior.

Clause 10 is especially important because it defines many of the EFs used for subscriber identity, security keys, network selection, group data, emergency addresses, and messaging. The document also covers telecom-level files such as EFADN, EFFDN, EFMSISDN, EFLND, and their extension records.

What terms does SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 define?

• Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) - The removable module that stores identity, security, and service data for TETRA operation.
• Mobile Equipment (ME) - The terminal equipment that communicates with the SIM and uses its data and commands.
• TETRA - Terrestrial Trunked Radio, the radio system for which this interface is defined.
• Individual Tetra Subscriber Identity (ITSI) - The subscriber identity used in the TETRA application files and security procedures.
• SwMI - Switching and management infrastructure, the network side that authenticates the SIM and manages service data.
• Over The Air Re-keying (OTAR) - The remote distribution or update of cipher keys over the network.
• Cipher Header Value (CHV) - A card access control value used in commands such as VERIFY, ENABLE, DISABLE, and UNBLOCK.

Who uses SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 is used by TETRA terminal designers, SIM developers, network operators, and personalisation teams that provision subscriber files and keys. It also matters to test labs, certification teams, and quality or procurement staff who need to check whether a SIM and ME support the same TETRA security and file behavior. In day-to-day work, they use it to design interfaces, load subscriber data, manage authentication, and verify emergency and messaging functions.

What changed in SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 corrects and updates the editorial issues and conflicts found in edition 1 of ETS 300 812. It also covers the security mechanisms for ITSI-based services, including authentication and OTAR for keys addressed to an ITSI.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003?

• EN 300 392-2 - Supplies TETRA air-interface coding, message headers, service data, and several file codings.
• EN 300 392-7 - Supplies location-area coding used in network and key-location files.
• ETS 300 392-12-22 - Contributes the class-of-usage reference used in group-related data.
• TS 100 977 - Defines extension-record coding used for overflow data in some dialling files.
• TS 100 900 and TS 100 906 - Support alpha-tag and DTMF-related coding used in dialling records.
• GSM 04.08 - Provides TON/NPI and related number coding used in telecom-level files.
• ETS 300 394-2 - Is referenced for loop back and security/authentication behavior.
• ETR 295 - Describes the MS split into SIM and ME and the network-operation versus administrative phases.

What does the SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 document contain?

SIST EN 300 812 V2.1.1:2003 contains detailed file layouts, record formats, access conditions, and coding rules for TETRA SIM data. It also includes the command mapping, response status handling, and application procedures used to initialize the SIM, manage sessions, verify CHVs, handle security keys, and store dialling, group, emergency, and short data service information.

Annex C gives suggested pre-personalization contents for the file system, while Annex D defines the database structure for group IDs and phone books. Annex E and Annex F provide practical guidance for emergency calling and last-dialled number handling.
