	Subscriber identification module (SIM) emulator - Patent 7162408
		The SIM command is handled in a manner consistent with operation of the SIM based on the configuration data.
		Alternatively, the SIM emulation may be performed as part of an emulation of a mobile device wherein the functions of various components of the actual mobile device are emulated along with the SIM emulation.
		Generally speaking, as commands are received from the RIL via the radio, the control module 420 passes that command to the error simulation module 445 which determines whether the given command or the encapsulating class of commands have been stipulated to fail by the configuration data 435.

	Flaw Is Found in Digital Phone System That May Let Hackers Get Free Service
		The security information is contained in a "subscriber identification module," or SIM card, a credit card-like device inserted into digital cellular phones that identifies each customer to the telephone system.
		The three experts haven't found a way to extract the security codes as they are being transmitted through the airwaves from a telephone to the network -- the "cloning" problem of analog phone systems -- though such a system may someday be devised.
		The engineers didn't rule out that their technique could lead someone to devise a device that would steal this information from the airwaves, so that having the card in the first place wouldn't be necessary.
