64 8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	1 This document describes those commands and functions of fc-simtool which can be
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	2 exercised by end users on any regular operator-issued SIM, without requiring a
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	3 special programmable SIM with admin privileges. The Mother's plans for future
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	4 development include a companion fc-simint utility that will operate on SIM cards
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	5 inside Calypso phones; the intent is that all of the end-user-oriented commands
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	6 of fc-simtool described in this document will also be replicated in fc-simint.

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	8 Understanding SIM PIN1
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	9 ======================
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	10
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	11 Every standard SIM card has a secret code called PIN1; this secret code can be
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	12 anywhere between 4 and 8 digits in length, with 4-digit PINs being most common.
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	13 In terms of persistent non-volatile state, SIM PIN1 can be enabled or disabled.
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	14 When SIM PIN1 is disabled, all regular functions of the card are enabled, as in
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	15 being able to power up the phone with the SIM in it and connect to the GSM
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	16 network with your subscriber identity, and being able to read and write SIM user
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	17 data content like phonebooks and stored messages - all of these functions are
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	18 enabled from the moment you turn on the phone with the SIM in it (or power the
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	19 SIM up by itself in a smart card "reader" driven by fc-simtool), without the
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	20 user ever being asked for a PIN, such that you can forget that the PIN even
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	21 exists - this situation in very common nowadays. But when SIM PIN1 is enabled,
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	22 the smart chip in the SIM will not allow you access to any of the data stored
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	23 on the card and will not allow any GSM authentication operations until and
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	24 unless you send the correct PIN to the SIM in the VERIFY CHV command.
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	25
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	26 If you forgot your PIN1, the only way to reset it is to enter another secret
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	27 code (always 8 digits in length) called PUK1. If the SIM is made according to
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	28 standards, then its PUK1 is set to a random number during either physical
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	29 manufacturing or administrative programming of the card and then remains
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	30 unchangeable afterward. Therefore, in an ideal world if someone forgot their
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	31 PIN1 and don't have their PUK1 either, they should be able to obtain PUK1 from
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	32 the cellular operator who issued the SIM - but whether or not today's operators
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	33 will actually help such hapless users (without forcing them to get a new SIM)
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	34 is another question altogether. PUK1 is often printed on the big (credit-card-
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	35 sized) plastic piece on which SIM cards are initially delivered - but it doesn't
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	36 help if you originally got your SIM many ages ago and no longer have that

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	39 The standard protocol for communicating with SIM cards provides 5 special
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	40 commands that are dedicated to working with PIN1, and so does fc-simtool:

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	44 This command tells the SIM that you are attempting to prove knowledge
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	45 of PIN1, presenting a string of digits. If the PIN digits you specify match
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	46 the PIN1 secret code stored inside the SIM, the card unlocks access to its
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	47 primary functions. If the digits you send are wrong, the SIM decrements its
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	48 non-volatile attempt counter, giving you a total of 3 attempts (irrespective of
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	49 card power-downs between attempts) to enter the correct PIN. If PIN1 is entered
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	50 incorrectly 3 times in a row, this PIN is blocked, and the only way to unblock
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	51 it is via PUK1.

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	62 This command changes the non-volatile state of the PIN1 enable/disable flag,
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	63 such that from now on the SIM will NOT require PIN1 to be provided on every
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	64 card power-up, and will instead be live immediately without needing proof of
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	65 card owner's identity. The disable-pin1 operation itself requires correct PIN1

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	84 ======================
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	85
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	86 GSM standards provide support for a very rarely used feature that works in the
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	87 spirit of "parental controls": if you authenticate to the SIM with PIN2 secret
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	88 code (which has to be different from PIN1 for meaningful security), you can
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	89 edit a SIM-resident list of so-called Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN), and then all
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	90 standard phones that implement this feature per the spec will refuse to allow
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	91 ordinary users (authenticated with PIN1 or with no PIN at all) to call any
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	92 numbers other than those programmed in FDN.

8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	94 This whole "parental control" feature is totally silly and is not expected to be
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	95 of any practical use, but the whole purpose of fc-simtool is to allow every
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	96 feature of SIM cards to be exercised, hence we provide the necessary support.
8cd4771bdd79 doc/User-oriented-commands: document started Mychaela Falconia <falcon@freecalypso.org> parents: diff changeset	97 The following commands work just like their PIN1 counterparts:
