The GSMA has published two separate remote provisioning specifications for two different target markets: the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) market; and the Person-to-Person (consumer and business) market. 1 below provides an overview of the different roles and functions in the remote provisioning ecosystem and this is followed by a more detailed description in the subsequent sections. One entity can perform several different roles. Table 1: Description of the Stakeholders in the Remote Provisioning Supply Chain Stakeholder Description The EUM is responsible for the initial cryptographic eUICC Manufacturer (EUM) configuration and security of the eUICC. The eUICCs are delivered to other parties (e.g. DM) The DM produces the terminal equipment (e.g. mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, wearables). The DM is responsible for the implementation of any Local Profile Device Manufacturer (DM) Assistant (LPA) elements that reside on the device. It is also responsible for the implementation of any application that resides on the primary device allowing User Interface access to the companion device. The CI certificates for remote SIM provisioning entities and acts as a trusted third party for the purpose of authenticating Certificate Issuer (CI) the entities of the system. It communicates also with the Subscription Manager - Data Preparation + (SM-DP+) module. The connectivity provider provides an electronic communications service which consists in the conveyance of Connectivity Provider signals in order to provide and/or use an M2M service for exchange of information. The M2M service provider makes a contract with the user for the provision of an M2M service that allows the M2M Service Provider exchange of information between devices/platforms using a fixed or mobile network. The M2M-user purchases an M2M service from an M2M service provider and incorporates it into his own M2M-User product/equipment, e.g. car manufacturers or electricity supply providers.
