1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
performing, by the apparatus, a first type of security function associated with determining whether an information package is authorized to be downloaded to a device other than the apparatus, wherein the information package is associated with updating a functionality of the device, wherein the apparatus comprises a universal integrated circuit card partitioned into domains, and wherein a first domain of the domains is associated with a telecommunications carrier entity and a second domain of the domains is associated with an entity that provides software to update the device; and
performing, by the apparatus, a second type of security function associated with identifying an authorized user of the apparatus.

9. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first device comprising a processor, an information package for updating a functionality of a component of first device, wherein the information package is received from a distribution authority device comprising a key negotiated with a second device associated with providing security for the first device, wherein the second device comprises a universal integrated circuit card partitioned into domains, and wherein a first domain of the domains is associated with a telecommunications carrier entity and a second domain of the domains is associated with an entity that provides software to update the first device; and validating, by the first device, the information package with the second device based on whether a first value of the information package corresponds to a second value stored at the second device, wherein the second value is stored at an apparatus in response to a negotiation of the key with the distribution authority device prior to the receiving by the first device. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
performing a first type of security function associated with determining whether an information package is authorized to be employed to facilitate a software update to a device communicatively coupled to an apparatus comprising the processor and machine-readable storage medium, wherein the processor is associated with a universal integrated circuit card partitioned into two domains, and wherein a first domain of the two domains is associated with a telecommunications carrier entity and a second domain of the two domains is associated with an entity that provides software to update the device; and performing a second type of security function associated confirming a privilege associated with use of the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
