MADRID, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Valid, one of the leading players in the eSIM industry, has launched a state of

art mioSIM eSIM for Consumer 3.0 solution (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3332725-1&h=2167253704&u=https%3A%2F%2Fhubs.la%2FH0ZPZKl0&a=mioSIM+eSIM+for+Consumer+3.0+solution) ready to answer the industry demand for secure transversal applications with

the support of Android Strongbox technology -- an Android Ready SE applet

responsible for the secure provisioning of Android keys. The first

implementation of Valid's new eSIM for Consumer solution is going to be on the

latest STMicroelectronics Secure Element.

After many attempts to transform the SIM card in the platform for services'

convergence in order to combine payment, identity management and mobile

applications in one single secure element, the eSIM has finally reached the

maturity it needs to resolve that long-lasting wish of the mobile world.

Compliant with GSMA latest standardization, Valid's mioSIM eSIM for Consumer

3.0 solution is ready to promote the perfect opportunity for transversal

applications in secure environments.

Valid's solution, pre-loaded with Android's Strongbox applet, eliminates the

hassle of implementing a secure element on top of the eSIM, specially during

the development of the connected devices. In addition to that, the service

providers can also take benefit of Strongbox applet to protect their

applications as well.

By utilizing eSIM transversal applications, combined with Strongbox applet, it

enables any Android application, using Android Keystore, to securely access the

keys stored into the eSIM, without any action from the user. They are also

accessible independently of the connectivity profile, which enables OEMs to

differentiate their own applications with new security use cases, such as

strong User identification, Device pairing, VPC access keys, Digital

currencies, and many more.

"The eSIM has become the element of convergence for many interested parties due

to its disruptive ecosystem, maturity, seamless management, and Security Domain

flexibility. After joining Android Ready SE Alliance, Valid has been able to

execute its eSIM and secure elements strategy to keep on supporting the

industry ramp-up phase, opening doors to new high-level protection use cases

such as Data at Rest, Android keys, ID credentials, Digital keys or even

Digital currencies, while also offering a trust environment via

STMicroelectronics' secure element," said Bertrand MOUSSEL, Senior

Vice-President of Marketing, Product & Strategy at Valid.

Valid is participating in the Mobile World Congress LA exhibition this week

showcasing and discussing our new eSIM solution. Visit Booth #1916 on October
