Universal Sim Card using TSM

Abstract

This application is a generic free stash application using Smart Card API implementation. It allows the user to store his basic details on secure element (SE) which can be used in case of emergency. SE is found on the UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) of every Android phone, but the platform currently doesn't allow access to it. Recent devices come with NFC support, which is often combined with an embedded secure element chip, usually in the same package and can access SE using TSM (trusted service manager). Also the SE can be accessed after taking permission from mobile network operators directly but it is expensive. A TSM is a role in a near field communication ecosystem. It acts as a neutral broker that sets up business agreements and technical connections with mobile network operators, phone manufacturers or other entities controlling the secure element on mobile phones. The objective is to read and write data on the secure element located on a NFC Chip with the help of TSM
