KEY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
The fundamental concept of this technology is that
the mobile terminals that support I-WLAN first
access the WiFi network and then try to use the
tunneling based on the IKEv2 for IPSec ESP with
PDG (Packet Data Gateway), which is the gateway
to access the 3GPP-based service infrastructures.
After completion of the I-WLAN connection, the
mobile terminal can access the 3GPP-based service
via non 3GPP network (WiFi) and all exchange
data are protected using the IPSec ESP.
Java Card Platform:
It is a smart card plat-
form that allows Java-based application (applet
or servlet) to be executed securely. This platform
usually consists of Java Card Runtime Environ-
ment, Java Card Virtual Machine and various APIs
which can be called by UICC-based applications.
NFC:
It is an abbreviation of Near Field Com-
munication which is a short-range high frequency
wireless communication technology which en-
ables the exchange of data between devices over
about a 10 centimeter (around 4 inches) distance.
The technology is a simple extension of the ISO/
IEC 14443 proximity-card standard (proximity
card, RFID) that combines the interface of a
smartcard and a reader into a single device. An
NFC device can communicate with both existing
ISO/IEC 14443 smartcards and readers, as well as
with other NFC devices, and is thereby compatible
with existing contactless infrastructure already in
use for public transportation and payment. NFC
is primarily aimed at usage in mobile phones.
PKCS:
It is an abbreviation of Public-Key
Cryptography standards devised and published
by RSA Security. These standards include RSA
asymmetric key algorithm and other related
technologies for PKI. PKCS #1 is the RSA Cryp-
tography Standard [RFC 3447] which defines
the mathematical properties and format of RSA
public and private keys (ASN.1-encoded in clear-
text), and the basic algorithms and encoding/
padding schemes for performing RSA encryp-
tion, decryption, and producing and verifying
signatures. PKCS #2 is withdrawn and PKCS #3
is the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Standard
Anti-Virus:
It is usually a software which
is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware,
including computer and mobile terminal viruses,
worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may
also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and
other forms of malware.
API:
It is an abbreviation of Application
Programming Interface, which is an interface
implemented by a software program that enables
it to interact with other software. Using API, the
caller such as software or program source can in-
voke the methods supported by the OS, platform,
framework and so forth. An API is implemented
by applications, libraries, and operating systems to
determine their vocabularies and calling conven-
tions, and is used to access their services.
DRM:
It is an abbreviation of Digital rights
management, which is a generic term for access
control technologies that can be used by hardware
manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and
individuals to limit the usage of digital contents
such as software, music, picture, wallpapers, etc.
and devices. The term is used to describe any
technology that inhibits uses of digital content not
desired or intended by the content provider. It can
also refer to restrictions associated with specific
instances of digital works or devices.
FMC:
Fixed-Mobile Convergence is an
emerging trend in the form of fixed and mobile
telephony convergence. With sing phone, fixed
and mobile services can be provided such as Voice
Call Continuity.
GlobalPlatform:
It is a secure, dynamic card
and application management platform. Card issuer
and application providers can manage their own
applications by using the security domain (SD).
SD is an on-card representative of off-card enti-
ties and provides necessary security services for
UICC applications.
I-WLAN:
It is an abbreviation of Internet-
working WLAN, which enable users to use the
3GPP-based services via WLAN environment.
