Abstract
eSIM software creates eSIMs within a WSP secure private network to share outside of the secure private network using information entered via a Partner user interface accessed using credentials that grant limited access to modify an eSIM profile template. Information entered by the Partner user is used to generate a requested quantity of eSIMs based on an eSIM profile template. The software provides generated eSIMs to components of the network that already exist for wirelessly distributing eSIMs to user equipment devices. Software interfaces facilitate access to a subset of information in modifying the templates, for generating eSIMs based thereon, and for storing generated eSIMs for distribution to user equipment. Transport of highly guarded security information, like master keys, outside of the secure private network does not occur. Real-time alerts notify that user-entered mismatched data precludes generation of eSIMs that will function in authenticating to the network.
