SIST ETS 300 608 E3:2003

Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2) (GSM); Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module - Mobile Equipment (SIM - ME) interface (GSM 11.11)

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the interface between the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME) for use during the network operation phase of GSM as well as those aspects of the internal organisation of the SIM which are related to the network operation phase. This is to ensure interoperability between a SIM and an ME independently of the respective manufacturers and operators. The concept of a split of the Mobile Station (MS) into these elements as well as the distinction between the GSM network operation phase, which is also called GSM operations, and the administrative management phase are described in the Technical Specification GSM 02.17 [6]. This ETS defines: - the requirements for the physical characteristics of the SIM, the electrical signals and the transmission protocols;  - the model which shall be used as a basis for the design of the logical structure of the SIM;  - the security features;  - the interface functions;  - the commands;  - the contents of the files required for the GSM application;  - the application protocol.  Unless otherwise stated, references to GSM also apply to DCS 1800. This ETS does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internal technical realisation of either the SIM or the ME are only specified where these reflect over the interface. This ETS does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used. This ETS defines the SIM/ME interface for GSM Phase 2. While all attempts have been made to maintain phase compatibility, any issues that specifically relate to Phase 1 should be referenced from within the relevant Phase 1 specification.

Foreword
This third edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special Mobile
Group (SMG) Technical Committee (TC) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS specifies the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to Mobile Equipment (ME) interface within the
European digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2).
This ETS corresponds to GSM technical specification, GSM 11.11 version 4.16.0 version.
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS may not be entirely in accordance with the ETSI/PNE rules.
Reference is made within this ETS to GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TS) (note).
NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give the technical specifications for the
implementation of the European digital cellular telecommunications system.
Historically, these documents have been identified as GSM Technical Specifications
(GSM-TS). These TSs may have subsequently become I-ETSs (Phase 1), or ETSs
(Phase 2), whilst others may become ETSI Technical Reports (ETRs). GSM-TSs are,
for editorial reasons, still referred to in current GSM ETSs.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 30 April 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 20 August 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 18 February 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 February 1997

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the interface between the Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) and the Mobile Equipment (ME) for use during the network operation phase of GSM as well
as those aspects of the internal organisation of the SIM which are related to the network operation phase.
This is to ensure interoperability between a SIM and an ME independently of the respective manufacturers
and operators. The concept of a split of the Mobile Station (MS) into these elements as well as the
distinction between the GSM network operation phase, which is also called GSM operations, and the
administrative management phase are described in the Technical Specification GSM 02.17 [6].
This ETS defines:
- the requirements for the physical characteristics of the SIM, the electrical signals and the
transmission protocols;
- the model which shall be used as a basis for the design of the logical structure of the SIM;
- the security features;
- the interface functions;
- the commands;
- the contents of the files required for the GSM application;
- the application protocol.
Unless otherwise stated, references to GSM also apply to DCS 1800.
This ETS does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internal
technical realisation of either the SIM or the ME are only specified where these reflect over the interface.
This ETS does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.
This ETS defines the SIM/ME interface for GSM Phase 2. While all attempts have been made to maintain
phase compatibility, any issues that specifically relate to Phase 1 should be referenced from within the
relevant Phase 1 specification.
