Kigen has achieved GSMA eUICC Security Assurance certification for its new Automotive eSIMs. Kigen says the product is the industry’s first eSA-certified eSIM supporting SGP.32 v1.3, GSMA’s latest IoT eSIM specification.
What Kigen certified
The certification combines Kigen’s eSIM operating system with Infineon’s TEGRION SLI22 automotive security controller. Kigen says the new Automotive eSIM is certified across the TEGRION SLx22 chip family.
Kigen says its portfolio now spans Automotive, Consumer, and Industrial IoT eSIM products. The Consumer product supports SGP.22 v2.7 and the Industrial IoT product supports SGP.32 v1.3.
The shared platform Kigen is using
All three products share the same operating system, hardware platform, development tools, and management stack. Kigen says the shared platform is meant to reduce fragmentation, speed development, and help OEMs expand across connected cars, passenger transport, and industrial vehicle fleets.
Kigen says its implementation supports SGP.32 v1.3 enhancements including direct and indirect profile downloads, digital activation codes, and emergency profile handling. The SGP.32 v1.3 enhancements were published in May 2026.
Security features and prior certifications
Kigen says it can support OEMs with hybrid key encapsulation that combines classical and quantum-safe algorithms on the same platform. Kigen says OEMs can test end-to-end PQC-resistant communications using its C-SDK development suite and test eSIM samples.
The certification builds on Kigen’s eSA-certified IoT eSIMs and Consumer eSIMs that introduced eSIM OS secure updates for compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
What GSMA and Kigen said
“Vehicles are becoming long-lived software platforms, so their connectivity trust anchor must remain secure and manageable long after production,” said Vincent Korstanje, CEO at Kigen. “Kigen’s new eSA-certified Automotive eSIMs give car manufacturers a secure path from factory provisioning to global fleet operation while preserving freedom to evolve connectivity throughout the vehicle lifetime.”
“This latest achievement, with the industry’s first eSA-certified eSIMs supporting SGP.32 v1.3, is an important step in translating GSMA eSIM IoT specifications into secure, interoperable technology for connected IoT and vehicle fleets,” said Gloria Trujillo, eSIM technical director at GSMA.
Read for automotive OEMs and eSIM teams
The important operational detail here is that Kigen is packaging automotive, consumer, and industrial IoT eSIM products on the same OS, hardware platform, tools, and management stack. For OEMs and Tier-1s, that gives them one certified platform to evaluate across vehicle programs instead of separate stacks for each segment.
Kigen says the Automotive eSIMs will be available for OEM sampling in the ETSI MFF2 package from October 2026.
