This document defines recommendations for UICC configuration and feature requirements in mobile near field communication (NFC) payments. The aim of this document is to provide guidelines that support service providers, mobile network operators (MNOs), manufacturers and implementers of mobile NFC payment services, by facilitating system integration, simplifying interoperability and reducing market fragmentation.

The new TCALoader tool enables mobile operators and application developers to download, install and manage applications on the UICC / eUICC to test interoperability across different deployments. This supports increasing industry demand for the delivery of various services through eSIM technology. The TCALoader is an evolution of the CAT Loader tool. This was first released by SIMalliance in 2007 (which became the TCA in 2020) and has been widely used by mobile operators and application developers to test and implement new services. The TCALoader introduces enhanced features to support different SIM form factors such as eSIM and integrated SIM, meet latest industry standards, support new protocols and increase security.

The Open Mobile API (OMAPI) Specification defines how mobile applications may access different secure elements (SEs), including the UICC and embedded secure elements (eSEs) in a mobile device. Ownership of the OMAPI Specification has been transferred to GlobalPlatform.

This ecosystem framework document describes the functions and actors involved when loading firmware to a Tamper Resistant Element (TRE).

A set of interoperability collaterals containing detailed specifications, standardisation considerations and pragmatic tips to simplify the development, implementation and support of NFC contactless services and applications.

This document makes it easier for mobile network operators (MNOs), service and solution providers to deploy Mobile Connect services which use an authentication application provisioned on the user’s SIM card.

This document defines the interface between the IDS and the OFL Agent. It complements a GlobalPlatform fast track specification published in 2017 that defines how Tamper Resistant Element (TRE) firmware can be loaded and managed onto various TRE form factors – including SEs such as removable, embedded and integrated SIMs – after a device has been issued.

The CAT Loader 2.0 enables network operators and service developers to manage ETSI toolkit applications compliant with the latest release using the high-speed CAT-TP protocol, and allows users to download and install applications on the SIM card, as well as analyse card content and remove applications.

Note that CATLoader 2.0 is deprecated and is replaced by TCALoader.
