3.30 Currently, SIM card vendors personalise SIM cards on behalf of mobile network operators. Example SIM card vendors include Giesecke & Devrient, Gemalto and Oberthur.

3.7 In the late 1990s, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) was formed to develop a more advanced and secure mobile telephony system, which would eventually become the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). Under the 3GPP the SIM card evolved to become the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) smart card system. Within this system hardware and software components were logically separated into UICC (as hardware) and SIM (as software).

Yes, correct. G&D says their cards are A5/3 encrypted.  

I search for the best UICC forensic tool on the market? We now have the Iranian MCI card in-lab.  

Which is the best UICC tool to dig as deep as possible into a 'SIM card (formally incorrect, I know)'?  

Which forensic toolset enables to fully analyze 'SIM-cards'? I am a cryptographer and not in law enforcement. Please help!  

Any other cryptographer already deep dive analyzed Helios OS on 'SIM cards'?  

Why does no SIM card expert relies to my answers?
