USIM Application Toolkit (USAT)
This TS defines the interface between the UICC and the Mobile Equipment (ME), and mandatory ME procedures, specifically for "USIM Application Toolkit". The present document refers in its majority to the ETSI (SCP) TS 102 223, which describes the generic aspects of application toolkits within the UICC.

USAT is a set of commands and procedures for use during the network operation phase of 3G, in addition to those defined in 3GPP TS 31.101.

Specifying the interface is to ensure interoperability between a UICC and an ME independently of the respective manufacturers and operators.

The present document defines for 3G technology:
- the commands;
- the application protocol;
- the mandatory requirements on the UICC and ME for each procedure.

The present document does not specify any aspects related to the administrative management phase. Any internal technical realization of either the UICC or the ME are only specified where these reflect over the interface. The present document does not specify any of the security algorithms which may be used.

Within the context of the present document, the term "terminal" used in ETSI (SCP) TS 102 223 refers to the Mobile Equipment (ME). Within the context of the present document, the term "NAA" used in ETSI (SCP) TS 102 223 refers to the USIM.

- Compact representation for efficient transmission over the air interface.
- Minimisation of USAT Interpreter complexity to minimise SIM footprint and ease compliance testing.
- Easily configured and extended.
- Source language independent although XML-style mark-up languages are explicitly envisioned.

Secured packet structure for (U)SIM Toolkit applications
This TS specifies the structure of the Secured Packets in implementations using Short Message Service Point to Point (SMS-PP), Short Message Service Cell Broadcast (SMS-CB), Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) and Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

The structure of the Secured Packets shall comply with the one defined in ETSI (SCP) TS 102 225. The present document only contains additional requirements or explicit limitations for SIM/USIM applications. It is applicable to the exchange of secured packets between an entity in a 3G or GSM PLMN and an entity in the (U)SIM.

Secured Packets contain application messages to which certain mechanisms according to ETSI (SCP) TS 102 224 have been applied. Application messages are commands or data exchanged between an application resident in or behind the 3G or GSM PLMN and on the (U)SIM. The Sending/Receiving Entity in the 3G or GSM PLMN and the UICC are responsible for applying the security mechanisms to the application messages and thus turning them into Secured Packets.

C-language binding for (U)SIM API
A Subscriber Identity Module Application Programming Interface (SIM API) has been defined in TS 42.019 as a technology-independent API by which toolkit applications and (U)SIMs co-operate. That specification is independent of the programming language technology used to create the application, the platform used to host the application and the runtime environment used to execute the application.

The present document includes information applicable to (U)SIM toolkit application developers creating applications using the C programming language ISO/IEC 9899. The present document describes an interface between toolkit applications written in the C programming language and the (U)SIM in order to realize the co-operation set forth in TS 42.019. In particular, the API described herein provides the service of assembling proactive commands and disassembling the responses to these commands for the application programmer.

Software tools, integrated software development environments and software management systems that may be used to create application programs are explicitly out of scope of the present document.

Contact Manager API - Contact Manager API for Java Card
This TS defines the internal interface characteristics of the Contact Manager for 3GPP UICC applications 3GPP TS 31.220.

The internal interface between the Contact Manager Server application on the UICC and the Contact Manager Client application on the UICC enables Java Card platform based applets, defined in Sun Microsystems "Java Card 2.2.2 Application Programming Interface", "Java Card 2.2.2 Runtime Environment (JCRE) Specification" and "Java Card 2.2.2 Virtual Machine Specification", to invoke and register to the Contact Manager Server services. In particular, the Contact Manager Java Card based API provides methods to:
- Read/Update/Create/Delete contact(s) in the Contact Manager Server;
- Manage group of contacts in the Contact Manager Server;
- Search for a contact in the Contact Manager Server storage;
- manage the contacts structure;
- Register/Un-register the application to pre-defined events (e.g. application to be notified when contacts are modified in the Contact Manager Server).

This API allows you to develop an application running together with a Contact Manager (3GPP TS 31.220).
