With osmo-remsim and Android APDU proxy we have two powerful solutions to allow remote acces to UICC/eUICC cards. Let's add a section where we give a brief overview about those solutions, so that pySim-shell users get awre of them. Related: OS#6367 Change-Id: I73de4de2e5d4a01d6d91989ee684cbdb680de8ef

Remote access to an UICC/eUICC
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
To access a card with pySim-shell, it is not strictly necessary to have physical
|
|
access to it. There are solutions that allow remote access to UICC/eUICC cards.
|
|
In this section we will give a brief overview.
|
|
|
|
|
|
osmo-remsim
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
osmo-remsim is a suite of software programs enabling physical/geographic
|
|
separation of a cellular phone (or modem) on the one hand side and the
|
|
UICC/eUICC card on the other side.
|
|
|
|
Using osmo-remsim, you can operate an entire fleet of modems/phones, as well as
|
|
banks of SIM cards and dynamically establish or remove the connections between
|
|
modems/phones and cards.
|
|
|
|
To access remote cards with pySim-shell via osmo-remseim (RSPRO), the
|
|
provided libifd_remsim_client would be used to provide a virtual PC/SC reader
|
|
on the local machine. pySim-shell can then access this reader like any other
|
|
PC/SC reader.

Android APDU proxy
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Android APDU proxy is an Android app that provides a bridge between a host
|
|
computer and the UICC/eUICC slot of an Android smartphone.
|
|
|
|
The APDU proxy connects to VPCD server that runs on the remote host (in this
|
|
case the local machine where pySim-shell is running). The VPCD server then
|
|
provides a virtual PC/SC reader, that pySim-shell can access like any other
|
|
PC/SC reader.
|
|
|
|
On the Android side the UICC/eUICC is accessed via OMAPI (Open Mobile API),
|
|
which is available in Android since API level Android 8 (API level 29).
