GrcardSIM2 cards have a proprietary EF under DF_GSM with file ID 0x0001; Osmocom wiki page for this card model gives EF.WEKI as the name for this proprietary file. We (FreeCalypso) have no idea as to where this name came from, and where and how the people who wrote that wiki page (Sysmocom staff or not - unknown) got this knowledge. This file is important because it stores Ki and the selection of COMP128 algorithm version, but the same file also appears to have other fields serving other purposes which are not currently understood. The total length of this transparent EF is 35 bytes, out of which only the first 19 bytes are documented in the Osmocom wiki page and written by their pySim-prog tool. Let us now break down this file according to our currently available limited understanding: * The first two bytes are always 00 10 - these byte values appear in "blank" unprogrammed cards as shipped by Grcard, they also appear in the Osmocom wiki page, and are programmed by pySim-prog. The purpose and meaning of these two bytes are completely unknown, and we have never tried writing anything different into them. * The next byte gives COMP128 algorithm selection plus something else that is not understood: - The low nibble of this byte selects COMP128 algorithm version as follows: 0 = COMP128v1 1 = COMP128v2 2 = COMP128v3 Note that the Osmocom wiki page is wrong in its description of this nibble: setting this nibble to 3 ends up selecting COMP128v2 rather than v3. (pySim-prog is unaffected because it always writes 0 for COMP128v1.) - The high nibble of this byte is not understood. Osmocom wiki page tells people to write 0 into this nibble and so does pySim-prog, but the "blank" unprogrammed cards we got from Grcard have it set to 2. Setting this nibble to either 0 or 2 does not seem to affect the result of RUN GSM ALGORITHM operations, thus it probably controls something else. * The next 16 bytes store Ki - this part is straightforward. * The last 16 bytes are not understood; our "blank" unprogrammed cards from Grcard have all FFs in these bytes.
