Abstract:
Method, system or Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) for provisioning a UICC with a new key. The UICC contains an initial subscriber key shared between the UICC and an authentication center. A new key is exchanged between the UICC and the authentication center using a communication between the UICC and the authentication center authenticated using the initial subscriber key. The new key is used in place of the initial subscriber key for further communications with the UICC.
