Abstract

This article presents singularization, a new family of Moving Target Defense (MTD) strategy that we propose to strengthen the robustness of sensitive applets on SIMs without needing a full replacement of SIMs.

We thank Olivier Vivolo and Jean-Marie Mele (Orange) for supporting this work. We thank Claire Loiseaux, Mohamad Hajj and Raphaël Bauduin for their insight on security certification.
