Abstract
Methods and apparatus for managing access control clients (e.g., electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs)). In one embodiment, secure elements (e.g., electronic Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (eUICCs)) and management entities of secure elements are associated with credentials. Post-deployment managerial operations can be executed, by transmitting the requested operation with the appropriate credentials. For example, a device can receive secure software updates to electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs), with properly credentialed network entities.
