osmo-sim-auth

osmo-sim-auth is a small script that can be used with a PC-based smart card
reader to obtain GSM/UMTS authentication parameters from a SIM/USIM
card.

The program can be found in the git repository at https://gitea.osmocom.org/sim-card/osmo-sim-auth

Please note that the much more powerful (and modern, python3) Osmocom pySim-shell program (part of pysim meanwhil also supports at least 3G authentication. See the authenticate command in ADF.USIM and ADF.ISIM.

prerequisites

We assume that you have

  • A smart card reader compatible with pcsc-lite
  • Installed python program and pyscard library

smart card reader

Any reader supported by pcsc-lite will work. However, a reader
compatible with the USB CCID device class is much recommended.

Please verify that the hardware and driver setup is working, e.g. by
using the 'pcsc_scan' tool included with pcsc-lite. You should get an
output like:

plus many more lines of output decoding the ATR.

If you only get

  Card state: Card removed, 

then your card was not detected in the reader.
If you don't even get any displayed readers, your hardware and/or driver
setup are likely wrong.

pyscard

pyscard has dropped support for EOL Python 2.7, while osmo-sim-auth still requires Python 2 to run.
It's recommended to install an old version of pyscard (2.0.0 is known to work) using pip:

pip install --user pyscard==2.0.0

If you want to build it from source, it is available from
http://pyscard.sourceforge.net/

running osmo-sim-auth

$ ./osmo-sim-auth.py --help
Usage: osmo-sim-auth.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a AUTN, --autn=AUTN  AUTN parameter from AuC
  -r RAND, --rand=RAND  RAND parameter from AuC
  -d, --debug           Enable debug output
  -s, --sim             SIM mode (default: USIM)
you can run the program in two modes:
  • running GSM authentication (classic SIM card protocol)
  • running UMTS authentication (USIM card protocol)

classic GSM authentication

This mode will use the "RUN GSM ALGORITHM" command as specified in GMS
TS 11.11

You have to specify
  • the 16 byte RAND value from the AuC (-r) as 32 hex digits
  • the '-s' flag to enable SIM mode
$ ./osmo-sim-auth.py -r 00000000000000000000000000000000 -s

GSM Authentication
SRES:   215fdb4d
Kc:     6de816a759a42912

UMTS authentication

This mode will use the "AUTHENTICATE" command as specified in 3GPP TS
31.102

You have to specify
  • the 16 byte RAND value from the AuC (-r) as 32 hex digits
  • the 16 byte AUTN value from the AuC (-a) as 32 hex digits

successful operation

In this case, the tool will output the following values obtained from
the card:
  • RES authentication result value
  • CK ciphering key
  • IK integrity key
  • Kc for inter-RAN handover from UMTS -> 2G

Secondly, the tool will re-run the authentication in "2G authentication
context" in order to obtain the SRES result. This value would be used
if a 3G/2G dual-mode phone registers on a 2G network.

synchronization required

In this case, the AUTHENTICATE command will return the AUTS parameter,
which has to be sent to the AuC in order to re-synchronzie the SQN
counter which is kept in both the USIM as well as the AuC.

Authentication Error

If you receive SW 98 62, it means that your AUTN parameter somehow is wrong.
Please try to understand how mutual USIM authentication works, and read the thread at
http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/simtrace/2013-March/000468.html

osmo-auc-gen which is part
of libosmocore can help you to generate the correct parameters.
