Kigen is addressing that issue with a new Automotive eSIM that the company says is the first GSMA eUICC Security Assurance (eSA)-certified automotive eSIM to support SGP.32 v1.3, the latest version of the GSMA’s IoT eSIM specification.

SGP.32 moves deeper into automotive connectivity Much of the industry activity around SGP.32 has so far focused on remote profile orchestration: enabling enterprises and OEMs to download or change mobile network profiles without physically replacing SIMs.

SGP.32 v1.3, published in May 2026, adds capabilities including direct and indirect profile downloads, digital activation codes and emergency profile handling.

Post-quantum cryptography is not currently part of the GSMA SGP.32 specification, but the company says its implementation supports hybrid key encapsulation combining classical and quantum-safe algorithms.

That capability should be viewed as preparation rather than current SGP.32 functionality.
