Abstract
A method for downloading a profile by a terminal and the terminal for performing the same are provided. The method includes acquiring information including an access token for transmitting a profile request to a profile server, transmitting a first message including the access token and a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) information of the terminal to the profile server, receiving a second message including a verification result from the profile server, and receiving a profile package corresponding to the access token from the profile server. The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology.
