Abstract
Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, to form a secure channel, such as between or among a communications device, a client computing resource, and/or an identity verifier. In particular embodiments, a method may include recognizing via a subscriber identifier, a known communications device within a communications network. The method may additionally include issuing an eSIM to the communications device via the communications network in response to recognizing the communications device and relating the eSIM to the subscriber identifier of the communications device. The method may further include, responsive to receipt of one or more signals from a client computing resource, utilizing encryption provided by the eSIM to form a secure channel between or among the communications device and an identity verifier.
