METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION COMPONENTS OVER A WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for enabling a mobile device to access wireless services, the method comprising:
- at the mobile device;
accessing first identification data associated with a secure element included in the mobile device, wherein the secure element stores a pre-loaded at least one partial access control client having at least one missing component;
authenticating with an access control client server using the first identification data;
receiving, from the access control client server, a package that includes the at least one missing component; and
combining the at least one missing component with the at least one partial access control client to establish a complete access control client.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus enabling programming of electronic identification information of a wireless apparatus. In one embodiment, a previously purchased or deployed wireless apparatus is activated by a cellular network. The wireless apparatus connects to the cellular network using an access module to download operating system components and/or access control client components. The described methods and apparatus enable updates, additions and replacement of various components including Electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) data, OS components. One exemplary implementation of the invention utilizes a trusted key exchange between the device and the cellular network to maintain security.
