The GSMA Embedded SIM Specification has the backing of 25 of the world\u2019s largest mobile operators and over 75% of all M2M connections worldwide. The creation of a single, common and interoperable specification for remote provisioning is starting to make a difference for how operators and the wider mobile ecosystem including OEMs can take advantage of the fast-growing Internet of Things market.
\nCritical to this, of course, is security and a seldom discussed but incredibly important process called \u2018Protection Profile\u2019 (PP) which ensures that the Specification has the same levels of security as a standard SIM card.
\nA PP evaluates the security features of IT products and systems. The PP for the GSMA Embedded SIM will detect a security problem if one arises and then specify the requirements needed to address it.
\nThe diagram below explains the process:
\n\"Protection<\/a>
\nThis means that an M2M device with an Embedded SIM that is issued with a GSMA Protection Profile Certificate has an easily identifiable guarantee of security, helping the industry as a whole to scale. The GSMA Protection Profile is also certified by BSI (The German Federal Office for Information Security).
