Introduction: The sysmoISIM-SJA2 SIM + USIM + ISIM CardThe sysmoISIM-SJA2 is a standards-compliant, programmable SIM card developed by sysmocom that integrates GSM SIM, UMTS USIM, and IMS/VoLTE ISIM functionalities into a single, versatile platform. This card supports networks from 2G (GSM) through 3G (UMTS), 4G (LTE), and 5G-ready applications, making it ideal for private mobile networks, research labs, and testing environments like sysmoNITB. A key security feature is its card-individual ADM (Administrative) keys, which enable secure reprogramming of subscriber data, authentication keys, and filesystem structures.
 
As a premier MVNO SIM card manufacturer with over 15 years in the mobile phone SIM cards industry, HKCARD Electronics Co., Limited provides comparable programmable SIM solutions, including MVNO Java SIM cards, MVNO LTE 4G USIM cards, and replacement blank SIM cards. While the sysmoISIM-SJA2 targets open-source and niche applications, HKCARD’s offerings deliver scalable, production-grade alternatives for commercial MVNOs and MNOs worldwide.Note: The sysmoISIM-SJA2 is end-of-life and has been replaced by the sysmoISIM-SJA5, which offers enhancements like increased flash storage (200 kB vs. 64 kB) and additional authentication algorithms (e.g., TUAK, XOR-3G).
 
Key Features of the sysmoISIM-SJA2 CardThe sysmoISIM-SJA2 combines robust hardware and software for multi-standard compatibility:
  • Multi-Form Factor: Ships in 1FF (credit-card-sized) with perforations for 2FF (mini-SIM), 3FF (micro-SIM), and 4FF (nano-SIM). An MFF2 variant is available for IoT/M2M embedded applications.
     
     
  • Programmable Elements: Fully reprogrammable filesystem (EF/DF directories), IMSI, MSISDN, Ki/OP/OPC keys (OPC default), with fixed ICCID for anti-cloning.
     
     
  • Authentication Algorithms: Defaults to MILENAGE for 2G SIM, USIM, and ISIM; supports COMP128v1/v2/v3 for GSM.
     
     
  • Java Card Capabilities: 64 kB flash for Java applets, including Card Manager, OTA updates, and SIM Toolkit (STK/SAT) for value-added services.
     
     
  • Standards Compliance: Adheres to ETSI/3GPP specs, including GSM TS 11.11 and SUCI calculation support via ME (Mobile Equipment) for 5G privacy.
     
     
  • Pre-Provisioned: Includes test IMSIs (e.g., MCC-MNC 999-70) and card-individual ADM keys for immediate customization.
     
     
ADM keys are unique per card and act as a master PIN (e.g., pin-adm=70725779 in hex: 3730373235373739), required for secure access during programming.
 
 
Understanding ADM Keys in sysmoISIM-SJA2ADM (Administrative) keys are a critical security feature in the sysmoISIM-SJA2, serving as the primary authentication mechanism for administrative operations:
  • Purpose: ADM keys (often labeled ADM1) provide secure access to reprogram the card, including updating IMSI, Ki/OPC, MSISDN, and the entire filesystem. They prevent unauthorized modifications, ensuring only legitimate operators can alter sensitive data.
     
     
  • Usage: During programming with tools like pySim or sysmo-usim-tool, the ADM key is entered (e.g., –pin-adm=70725779) to authenticate via a PC/SC reader. This unlocks commands for file creation/editing and key updates.
     
     
  • Security Benefits: Each card has a unique ADM key, enhancing tamper resistance. It supports secure OTA updates and Java applet management, vital for dynamic telecom services.
     
     
  • Limitations: Fixed ICCID cannot be changed, and full 5G SUCI calculation is ME-dependent (not USIM-based).
     
     
ADM keys make the sysmoISIM-SJA2 suitable for controlled environments like R&D, where full administrative control is needed without risking cloning or fraud.Functionalities: SIM + USIM + ISIM in sysmoISIM-SJA2The sysmoISIM-SJA2 seamlessly integrates these protocols for backward and forward compatibility:1. GSM SIM Functionality
  • Core Role: Handles 2G authentication and basic services (voice, SMS, data).
     
     
  • ADM Integration: Use ADM keys to update Ki and IMSI for custom GSM profiles.
     
     
  • HKCARD Equivalent: Our 2G SIM chips and MVNO native SIM cards support COMP128/MILENAGE with programmable Ki via SIM card personalization.
2. UMTS USIM Functionality
  • Core Role: Enables 3G mutual authentication and enhanced data storage (e.g., larger phonebooks).
     
     
  • ADM Integration: Reprogram USIM files and OPC keys securely with ADM authentication.
     
     
  • HKCARD Equivalent: Our WCDMA SIM cards and 3G SIM chips offer MILENAGE support with OTA personalization.
3. IMS/VoLTE ISIM Functionality
  • Core Role: Secures 4G/5G IMS services like VoLTE and video calls.
     
     
  • ADM Integration: Update ISIM keys and applets using ADM for IMS-specific configurations.
     
     
  • HKCARD Equivalent: Our customize MVNO LTE 4G USIM cards support ISIM with Java applets for VoLTE.
How sysmoISIM-SJA2 Works with ADM Keys
  1. Provisioning: Insert card into a PC/SC reader; authenticate with ADM key via pySim (e.g., ./pySim-prog.py –pin-adm=70725779).
     
     
  2. Authentication: Network challenges use MILENAGE; ADM secures admin ops.
     
     
  3. OTA/Java: ADM enables secure applet loading and remote updates.
     
     
  4. Multi-Network: Switches modes seamlessly, with ADM for profile tweaks.
     
     
Applications of sysmoISIM-SJA2
  • Private Networks: Custom profiles for sysmoNITB setups.
     
     
  • R&D/Testing: ADM-enabled prototyping with pySim.
     
     
  • IoT/M2M: MFF2 variant for embedded devices.
