  RFC 4187 (rfc4187) - Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for 3rd Gen
The identity module may be an integral part of the mobile device or it may be an application on a smart card distributed by a mobile operator.
In this document, the term identity or peer identity refers to the whole identity string that is used to identify the peer.
Identity privacy is based on temporary identities, or pseudonyms, which are equivalent to but separate from the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identities (TMSI) that are used on cellular networks.

 rfc4187
Identity privacy is based on temporary identities, or pseudonyms, which are equivalent Arkko and Haverinen Informational [Page 15] RFC 4187 EAP-AKA Authentication January 2006 to but separate from the Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identities (TMSI) that are used on cellular networks.
Usage of the Pseudonym by the Peer When the optional identity privacy support is used on full authentication, the peer MAY use a pseudonym username received as part of a previous full authentication sequence as the username Arkko and Haverinen Informational [Page 20] RFC 4187 EAP-AKA Authentication January 2006 portion of the NAI.
If the peer uses the permanent identity or a pseudonym identity, which the server is able to map to the permanent identity, then the authentication proceeds as discussed in the overview of Section 3.

 What is subscriber identity module? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A subscriber identity module (SIM) is a smart card inside of a GSM cellular phone that encrypts voice and data transmissions and stores data about the specific user so that the user can be identified and authenticated to the network supplying the phone service.
A SIM can be moved from one phone to another and/or different SIMs can be inserted into any GSM phone.
Based around a microprocessor, the SIM card is rather like a mini-computer with its own operating system, storage and built-in security features; it can add, delete and manipulate information in its memory and both send and receive data.

 Global System for Mobile Communications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The modulation used in GSM is Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK), a kind of continuous-phase frequency shift keying.
In GMSK, the signal to be modulated onto the carrier is first smoothed with a Gaussian low-pass filter prior to being fed to a frequency modulator, which greatly reduces the interference to neighboring channels (adjacent channel interference).
The locking applies to the handset, identified by its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, not to the account (which is identified by the SIM card).
