Abstract
The invention is a method for managing a tamper-proof device comprising first and second software containers, said tamper-proof device being included in a host device comprising a baseband unit. Said first software container is designed to emulate an eUICC and is in a deactivated state. The second software container comprises a set of rules. The baseband unit comprises an activator agent which retrieves both location data broadcasted by a telecom network and the set of rules from the second software container. The activator agent checks if activation of the first software container is authorized by one of said rules for the location data and requests activation of the first software container only in case of successful checking.
