0  Introduction  p. 6

The present document defines the Slice Subscriber Identity Module (SSIM) application. This application resides on the UICC as specified in TS 31.101. In particular, TS 31.101 specifies the application independent properties of the UICC/terminal interface such as the physical characteristics and the logical structure.
TS 31.101 is one of the core documents for this specification and is therefore referenced in many places in the present document.
UICC detection clause is removed as useless in case of SSIM, the UICC detection is following the USIM requirement as USIM always selected for primary authentication.

1  Scope  p. 7

The present document defines the SSIM application for 3GPP telecom network operation related to Network Slice-Specific Authentication and Authorization procedure.
The present document specifies:
  • specific command parameters;
  • file structures;
  • contents of EFs (Elementary Files);
  • security functions;
  • application protocol to be used on the interface between UICC (SSIM) and ME.
This is to ensure interoperability between a SSIM and an ME independently of the respective manufacturer, card issuer or operator.
The present document does not define any aspects related to the administrative management phase of the SSIM. Any internal technical realisation of either the SSIM or the ME is only specified where these are reflected over the interface. The present document does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.

2  References  p. 7

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
  • References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
  • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
  • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3.4  Coding Conventions  p. 8

The following coding conventions apply to the present document.
All lengths are presented in bytes, unless otherwise stated. Each byte is represented by bits b8 to b1, where b8 is the most significant bit (MSB) and b1 is the least significant bit (LSB). In each representation, the leftmost bit is the MSB.
The coding of Data Objects in the present document is according to TS 31.101.
'XX':
Single quotes indicate hexadecimal values. Valid elements for hexadecimal values are the numbers '0' to '9' and 'A' to 'F'.
