This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by the 3 Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
The contents of the present document are subject to continuing work within the TSG and may change following formal
TSG approval. Should the TSG modify the contents of the present document, it will be re-released by the TSG with an
identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as follows:
Version x.y.z
where:
x the first digit:
1 presented to TSG for information;
2 presented to TSG for approval;
3 or greater indicates TSG approved document under change control.
y the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements, corrections,
updates, etc.
z the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the document.
Introduction
The present document defines the IM Services Identity Module (ISIM) application. This application resides on the
UICC, an IC card specified in TS 31.101 [3]. In particular, TS 31.101 [3] specifies the application independent
properties of the UICC/terminal interface such as the physical characteristics and the logical structure.
TS 31.101 [3] is one of the core documents for this specification and is therefore referenced in many places in the
present document.

3GPP TS 31.103 version 8.0.0 Release 8 6 ETSI TS 131 103 V8.0.0 (2009-01)
1 Scope
The present document defines the ISIM application for access to IMS services.
The present document specifies:
- specific command parameters;
- file structures;
- contents of EFs (Elementary Files);
- security functions;
- application protocol to be used on the interface between UICC (ISIM) and Terminal.
This is to ensure interoperability between an ISIM and Terminal independently of the respective manufacturer, card
issuer or operator.
The present document does not define any aspects related to the administrative management phase of the ISIM. Any
internal technical realisation of either the ISIM or the Terminal is only specified where these are reflected over the
interface. The present document does not specify any of the security algorithms that may be used.

3.4 Coding Conventions
The following coding conventions apply to the present document.
All lengths are presented in bytes, unless otherwise stated. Each byte is represented by bits b8 to b1, where b8 is the
most significant bit (MSB) and b1 is the least significant bit (LSB). In each representation, the leftmost bit is the MSB.
The coding of Data Objects in the present document is according to TS 31.101 [3].
'XX': Single quotes indicate hexadecimal values. Valid elements for hexadecimal values are the numbers
'0' to '9' and 'A' to 'F'.
4 Files
This clause specifies the EFs for the IMS session defining access conditions, data items and coding. A data item is a
part of an EF which represents a complete logical entity.
For an overview containing all files see figure 4.1.
4.1 Contents of the EFs at the MF level
There are four EFs at the Master File (MF) level. These EFs are specified in TS 31.101 [3].
4.2 Contents of files at the ISIM ADF (Application DF) level
The EFs in the ISIM ADF contain service and network related information and are required for UE to operate in an IP
Multimedia Subsystem.
The File IDs '6F1X' (for EFs), '5F1X' and '5F2X' (for DFs) with X ranging from '0' to 'F' are reserved under the ISIM
ADF for administrative use by the card issuer.
