Implement Generic SIM Access interface as per 3GPP TS 27.007

According to 3GPP TS 27.007, sections 8.17 and 8.18, the modem
may *optionally* provide Generic and/or Restricted SIM Access
to the TE (Terminal Equipment) by means of the AT commands.
This basically means that a modem can act as a card reader.

Generic SIM Access allows the TE to send raw PDUs in the format
as described in 3GPP TS 51.011 directly to the SIM card, while
Restricted SIM Access is more limited, and thus is not really
interesting to us.

This change implements a new transport called ModemATCommandLink,
so using it a SIM card can be read and/or programmed without the
need to remove it from the modem's socket. A downside of this
approach is relatively slow I/O speed compared to PC/SC readers.

Tested with Quectel EC20:

  $ ./pySim-read.py --modem-dev /dev/ttyUSB2

pySim-prog - Utility for programmable SIM/USIM-Cards

This repository contains a Python-language program that can be used to program (write) certain fields/parameters on so-called programmable SIM/USIM cards.

Such SIM/USIM cards are special cards, which - unlike those issued by regular commercial operators - come with the kind of keys that allow you to write the files/fields that normally only an operator can program.

This is useful particularly if you are running your own cellular network, and want to issue your own SIM/USIM cards for that network.

Homepage

The official homepage of the project is http://osmocom.org/projects/pysim/wiki

GIT Repository

You can clone from the official libosmocore.git repository using

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/pysim.git

There is a cgit interface at http://git.osmocom.org/pysim/

Dependencies

pysim requires:

  • pyscard
  • serial
  • pytlv (for specific card types)

Example for Debian:

apt-get install python-pyscard python-serial python-pip
pip install pytlv

Usage

  • Program customizable SIMs. Two modes are possible:
  • one where you specify every parameter manually :

./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -i -s

  • one where they are generated from some minimal set :

./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z <random_string_of_choice> -j <card_num>

With <random_string_of_choice> and <card_num>, the soft will generate
'predictable' IMSI and ICCID, so make sure you choose them so as not to
conflict with anyone. (for eg. your name as <random_string_of_choice> and
0 1 2 ... for <card num>).

You also need to enter some parameters to select the device : -t TYPE : type of card (supersim, magicsim, fakemagicsim or try 'auto') -d DEV : Serial port device (default /dev/ttyUSB0) -b BAUD : Baudrate (default 9600)

  • Interact with SIMs from a python interactive shell (ipython for eg :)

from pySim.transport.serial import SerialSimLink from pySim.commands import SimCardCommands

sl = SerialSimLink(device='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600) sc = SimCardCommands(sl)

sl.wait_for_card()

# Print IMSI

print(sc.read_binary(['3f00', '7f20', '6f07']))

# Run A3/A8

print(sc.run_gsm('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff'))
