name: MCIM
full_form: Machine Communication Identity Module
context: MCIMs should be able to exist in any one of the following lifecycle states: Installed: an instance of a MCIM has been created and has an entry in the M2ME's registry Activated: an instance of the MCIM is authorised for operational use. Selected: this state marks the commencement of a session with a MCIM. Only an activated MCIM can be selected. When the session ends, the MCIM reverts to the Activated state. Blocked: an instance of a MCIM has been temporarily de-activated and is not available for use. An example of this is when the status of an application-specific PIN becomes "blocked", as described in [8]. Unblocking of a MCIM causes it to be restored to the Activated state. Retired: an instance of a MCIM is permanently unavailable for use, but is still instantiated in the M2ME. An example of this is where a credential is permanently deleted but some executable components of the MCIM that are used by other applications are still active. Deleted: a MCIM is permanently removed from the
description: The Machine Communication Identity Module (MCIM) is a network function responsible for managing machine communication identities and credentials within the M2M environment. It handles lifecycle states such as installation, activation, selection, blocking, retirement, and deletion of MCIM instances.
explanation: MCIM is classified as a Network Function based on its role in managing machine communication identities and credentials, as highlighted by the context from 3GPP TS 33.812. The text describes the lifecycle states of an MCIM instance, indicating its functionality within the network.
