1. A mobile station comprising:
- a modem andat least one antenna configured to communicate with a plurality of cellular networks; and
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed,configure a mobile application running on a processor that facilitates communication between the modem and a virtual reprogrammable universal integrated circuit chip (eUICC) that is not physically or electrically connected to the modem, wherein security of the virtual eUICC is maintained using user-provided biometric information; and
configure the mobile station to host the virtual eUICC by causing initialization of a data storage module with the user-provided biometric information as a parameter for security operations;
loading the data storage module upon a device boot-up to perform security operations based on the parameter to generate data that are formatted into data blocks; and
cause storage of the data blocks processed by the security operations in a storage memory, wherein the storage memory maintains the data blocks in a journaling file system.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are provided for securely configuring a Java Card virtual machine operating on a cellular device'"'"'s application processor. In one embodiment, a connected device with an integrated cellular modem, a virtual universal integrated circuit chip and an integrated fingerprint scanner are used. In another embodiment, the cellular device'"'"'s built-in camera is used, instead of an integrated fingerprint scanner, to capture the user'"'"'s facial image.
