SIMalliance facilitates secure mobile service creation, deployment and management by advancing interoperability and extending security across all devices accessing wireless networks

Open Mobile API Specification

The SIMalliance Open Mobile API Specification describes how a mobile application running on an open smartphone operating system can access a SIM/USIM or any Secure Element. Release 1.2 of the specification contains the handling of a transport layer that gives applications the possibility to transmit APDUs to Secure Elements.



SIMpml (SIM Profile Mark Up Language) Specification V2
This document specifies the requirements to implement a unified XML schema for SIM cards prototyping and testing: the SIM Profile Mark-Up Language (SIMpml). It has been defined to simplify the transfer of card profile configuration information and the approval of test and production cards, with the intention of replacing the existing various text-based documents. It is firmly believed by this forum that this approach will reduce the failure rates, decrease test loops and minimise human interactions, since XML is a common used way of transferring structured data. This format allows any Card Vendor or Network Operator to specify and implement any SIM card electrical profile, since it strongly relies on Smart Card Specifications such as 3GPP, GSMA and SIMalliance. The document is based on the UXP 1.4 (U)SIM XML Profile (UXP) Template Sheet, the output of an initiative created by a dedicated forum set up in 2007 under the initiative of Telefónica O2 UK. This forum comprises Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Oberthur Technologies, SanDisk and Telefónica O2 UK.

S[at]T Specifications V4 2009
Specification offers operators an interoperable platform for quick, mass market mobile services delivery with the coming availability of a S[at]T Test Suite to test the correct implementation of S[at]T specifications in SIM cards for new services interoperability purposes.
