We already have documentation that explains how to run pySim-smpp2sim. With smpp-ota-tool we now have a counterpart for pySim-smpp2sim, so let's add documentation for this tool as well. Related: SYS#7881 Change-Id: If0d18a263f5a6dc035b90f5c5c6a942d46bbba49

smpp-ota-tool
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The `smpp-ota-tool` allows users to send OTA-SMS messages containing APDU scripts (RFM, RAM) via an SMPP server. The
|
|
intended audience are developers who want to test/evaluate the OTA SMS interface of UICC/eUICC cards. `smpp-ota-tool`
|
|
is intended to be used as a companion tool for :ref:`pySim-smpp2sim`, however it should be usable on any other SMPP
|
|
server as well.
|
|
|
|
From the technical perspective `smpp-ota-tool` takes the role of an SMPP ESME. It takes care of the encoding, encryption
|
|
and checksumming (signing) of the RFM/RAM OTA SMS and eventually submits it to the SMPP server. The program then waits
|
|
for a response. The response is automatically parsed and printed on stdout. This makes the program also suitable to be
|
|
called from shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
Applying OTA keys
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Depending on the card type (UICC/eUICC or eSIM profile) you will receive a set of keys which you can use to communicate
|
|
with the card through a secure channel protocol. When using the OTA SMS method, the SCP80 protocol is used.
|
|
|
|
A keyset usually consists of three keys:
|
|
|
|
#. KIC: the key used for ciphering (encryption/decryption)
|
|
#. KID: the key used to compute a cryptographic checksum (signing)
|
|
#. KIK: (used to encrypt/decrypt key material when keys are updated)
|
|
|
|
From the perspective of SCP80, only KIC and KID are relevant. The KIK is not used in the scope of SCP80.
|
|
|
|
When the keyset is programmed into the issuer security domain (ISD) of the card, it is tied to a specific cryptographic
|
|
algorithm (3DES, AES128 or AES256) and key version number (KVN). The term "key version number" is misleading, since it
|
|
is more of a key identifier. However, it not only uniquely identifies the key itself. It also identifies the key usage
|
|
depending on its range. Keys with KVN from 1-15 (0x01-0x0F) are usable with SCP80. This means it is not only important
|
|
to know the key material itself. Also the algorithm and the KVN must be known.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: SCP80 keysets typically start counting from 1 upwards. Typical configurations use a set of 3 keysets with
|
|
KVN numbers 1-3.
|
|
|
|
Addressing an Application
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When communicating with a specific application on a card via SCP80, it is important to address that application with
|
|
the correct parameters. The following two parameters must be known in advance:
|
|
|
|
#. TAR: The Toolkit Application Reference (TAR) number is a three byte value that uniquely addresses an application
|
|
on the card. The exact values may vary (see also ETSI TS 101 220, Table D.1).
|
|
#. MSL: The Minimum Security Level (MSL) is a bit-field that dictates which of the security measures encoded in the
|
|
SPI are mandatory (see also ETSI TS 102 225, section 5.1.1).
|
|
|
|
A practical example
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This tutorial assumes that pySim-smpp2sim is running on the local machine with its default parameters.
|
|
See also :ref:`pySim-smpp2sim`.
|
|
|
|
Let's assume that an OTA SMS shall be sent to the SIM RFM application of an sysmoISIM-SJA2. What we want to do is to
|
|
select DF.GSM and to get the select response back.
|
|
|
|
We have received the following key material from the card vendor:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
KIC1: F09C43EE1A0391665CC9F05AF4E0BD10

|
|

|
|
KIC3: 2B22824D0D27A3A1CEEC512B312082B4
|
|
KID3: F1697766925A11F4458295590137B672
|
|
KIK3: C7EE69B2C5A1C8E160DD36A38EB517B3
|
|
|
|
Those are three keysets. The enumeration is directly equal to the KVN used. All three keysets are 3DES keys, which
|
|
means triple_des_cbc2 is the correct algorithm to use.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The key set configuration can be confirmed by retrieving the key configuration using
|
|
`get_data key_information` from within an SCP02 session on ADF.ISD. When doing so, the user will see that
|
|
there are actually 4 keysets configured, but only 3 of them are relevant for SCP80. The other key (KVN=122)
|
|
is intended to be used with SCP02 only.
|
|
|
|
In this example we intend to address the SIM RFM application. Which according to the manual has TAR B00010 and MSL
|
|
0x06. When we hold 0x06 = 0b00000110 against the SPI coding chart (see also ETSI TS 102 225, section 5.1.1). We
|
|
can deduct that Ciphering and Cryptographic Checksum are mandatory.
|
|
|
|
In order to select DF.GSM (0x7F20) and to retrieve the select response, two APDUs are needed. The first APDU is the
|
|
select command "A0A40000027F20" and the second is the get-response command "A0C0000016". Those APDUs will be
|
|
concatenated and are sent in a single message. The message containing the concatenated APDUs works as a script that
|
|
is received by the SIM RFM application and then executed. This method poses some limitations that have to be taken into
|
|
account when making requests like this (see also ETSI TS 102 226, section 5).
|
|
|
|
With this information we may now construct a commandline for `smpp-ota-tool.py`. We will pass the KVN as kid_idx and
|
|
kic_idx (see also ETSI TS 102 225, Table 2, fields `KIc` and `KID`). Both index values should refer to the same
|
|
keyset/KVN as keysets should not be mixed. (`smpp-ota-tool` still provides separate parameters anyway to allow testing
|
|
with invalid keyset combinations)

The result we see is the select response of DF.GSM and a status word indicating that the last command has been
|
|
processed normally.
|
|
|
|
As we can see, this mechanism now allows us to perform small administrative tasks remotely. We can read the contents of
|
|
files remotely or make changes to files. Depending on the changes we make, there may be security issues arising from
|
|
replay attacks. With the commandline above, the communication is encrypted and protected by a cryptographic checksum,
|
|
so an adversary can neither read, nor alter the message. However, an adversary could still replay an intercepted
|
|
message and the card would happily execute the contained APDUs again.
|
|
|
|
To prevent this, we may include a replay protection counter within the message. In this case, the MSL indicates that a
|
|
replay protection counter is not required. However, to extended the security of our messages, we may chose to use a
|
|
counter anyway. In the following example, we will encode a counter value of 100. We will instruct the card to make sure
|
|
that the value we send is higher than the counter value that is currently stored in the card.
|
|
|
|
To add a replay connection counter we add the commandline arguments `--cntr-req` to set the counter requirement and
|
|
`--cntr` to pass the counter value.

As we can see, the card has rejected the message with an `undefined_security_error`. The replay-protection-counter
|
|
ensures that a message can only be sent once.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The replay-protection-counter is implemented as a 5 byte integer value (see also ETSI TS 102 225, Table 3).
|

When the counter has reached its maximum, it will not overlap nor can it be reset.
