摘要：A computer, such as a Windows-based PC , has associated with it a SubscriberIdentity Module (SIM) , such as of the type used in a GSM or UMTS cellular or mobiletelecommunications network. The SIM can be authenticated with the network in the sameway as for authenticating SIMs of mobile telephone handsets used in the network, and

can in this way authenticate the user of the PC or the PC itself. Such authentication can,for example, permit use of the PC in relation to a particular application running on the PC. Challenge and response messages are transmitted between the network and the SIMvia an authenticator module implemented on the PC . These authentication messageshave the predetermined format of an Over The Air (OTA) message, which is also used inGSM or UMTS telecommunications networks to transmit non-authentication messages—for example, SMS messages. The authentication data is encapsulated within OTA

messages. The OTA messages are not necessarily transmitted wirelessly (that is, over theair). They may be transmitted via a fixed network; however, they have the predeterminedformat of OTA messages.
