Method and apparatus for installing profile
First Claim
1. A profile installation method of a server for a terminal having an embedded security module, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a profile provision server, a first message to request a profile registration, the first message including a digital certificate;
receiving, from the terminal, a second message to request a profile, the second message including an identifier of the embedded security module;
transmitting, to the terminal, the digital certificate;
receiving, from the terminal, a session key encrypted based on the digital certificate;
transmitting, to the profile provision server, the encrypted session key;
receiving, from the profile provision server, an encrypted profile corresponding to the second message, the encrypted profile generated based on the encrypted session key; and
transmitting, to the terminal, the encrypted profile.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for installing a profile, and more specifically, to a method for managing mobile communication subscriber information (profile), such as for remotely installing and uninstalling a profile onto a security module (Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC)) that is embedded inside a terminal and that is not attachable or detachable, thereby replacing UICC. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method for a server installing a profile, wherein the method for the server installing the profile for a terminal having an embedded security module comprises the steps of: receiving from the terminal a profile installation request including an identifier of the terminal embedded security module; receiving an encrypted profile corresponding to the installation request; and transmitting to the terminal the encrypted profile.
