POLICY-BASED MANAGEMENT OF EMBEDDED SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE (ESIM) PROFILES

A method of managing embedded subscriber identity modules (eSIMs) on a user equipment (UE). The method comprises receiving a request to manage an eSIM profile stored on the UE by an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the UE from a requestor; looking up a set of eSIM profile management rules in the eSIM profile by the eUICC; determining an eSIM profile management rule of the set of eSIM profile management rules that applies to the eSIM profile by the eUICC based on an identity of the requestor; determining to deny the request by the eUICC based on the identity of the requestor, based on the request, and based on the eSIM profile management rule; and, based on denying the request, executing a rejection method, wherein the rejection method is defined by the eSIM profile management rule.
