Method and system for third party subscription management of end device profiles

1. A method comprising:

installing, by a card of an end device, a profile obtained from a third party device, wherein the profile includes a temporary element including a temporary keyset, a temporary Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), or a temporary USIM and a blank USIM, wherein the blank USIM does not include a keyset;

obtaining, by the card based on the installing and during an initial connectivity with a core network, an update to the profile, wherein the update includes a permanent element configured to replace the temporary element;

updating, by the card in response to the obtaining of the update, the profile with the permanent element; and

registering, by the card in response to the updating, the end device with the core network.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing, by the card, an activation procedure using the permanent element.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

deleting, by the card after the updating, the temporary element.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the permanent element is a permanent keyset, and the updating comprises:

converting, by the card, the blank USIM to a permanent USIM with the permanent keyset; and

switching, by the card, use of the temporary USIM and temporary keyset to the permanent USIM and the permanent keyset.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the permanent element is a permanent keyset or a permanent Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM).

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

authenticating, by the card after the installing, with a core network device of the core network using the profile that includes the temporary element.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the obtaining further comprises:

establishing, by the card after successful authentication with the core network device, a connection with a server device; and

receiving, by the card from the server device, the update to the profile.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the card includes a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card or a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).

9. A device comprising:

a processor configured to:

install a profile obtained from a third party device, wherein the profile includes a temporary element, wherein the device is a card of an end device and the temporary element includes a temporary keyset, a temporary Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), or a temporary USIM and a blank USIM, wherein the blank USIM does not include a keyset;

obtain, based on an installation of the profile and during an initial connectivity with a core network, an update to the profile, wherein the update includes a permanent element configured to replace the temporary element;

update, in response to an obtainment of the update, the profile with the permanent element; and

register, in response to the update, the end device with the core network.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform an activation procedure using the permanent element.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

delete, after the updating, the temporary element.

12. The device of claim 9 , wherein the permanent element is a permanent keyset, and wherein to update, the processor is further configured to:

convert the blank USIM to a permanent USIM with the permanent keyset; and

switch use of the temporary USIM and temporary keyset to the permanent USIM and the permanent keyset.

13. The device of claim 9 , wherein the permanent element is a permanent keyset or a permanent Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM).

14. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

authenticate, after an installment of the profile, with a core network device of the core network using the profile that includes the temporary element.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein to obtain, the processor is further configured to:

establish, after successful authentication with the core network device, a connection with a server device; and

receive, from the server device, the update to the profile.

16. The device of claim 9 , wherein the card includes a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card or a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a card of an end device, wherein the instructions are configured to:

install a profile obtained from a third party device, wherein the profile includes a temporary element, wherein the temporary element includes a temporary keyset, a temporary Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), or a temporary USIM and a blank USIM, wherein the blank USIM does not include a keyset;

obtain, based on an installation of the profile and during an initial connectivity with a core network, an update to the profile, wherein the update includes a permanent element configured to replace the temporary element;

update, in response to an obtainment of the update, the profile with the permanent element; and

register, in response to the update, the end device with the core network.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the permanent element is a permanent keyset or a permanent Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM).

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions are further configured to:

delete, after the updating, the temporary element.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the card includes a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card or a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).
