SIM
The SIM contains several pieces of information:
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
This number identifies the MS subscriber. It is only transmitted over the air during
initialization. The IMSI identifies the subscriber within the GSM network while the MS
ISDN is the actual telephone number a caller (possibly in another network)
uses to reach that person.
Security is provided by the use of an authentication key (explained later in
this section) and by the transmission of a temporary subscriber identity
(TMSI) across the radio interface where possible to avoid using the permanent
IMSI identity.
Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI)
VISITOR LOCATION REGISTER (VLR) :The Visitor Location Register (VLR) contains the subscriber parameters and location information
for all mobile subscribers currently located in the geographical area controlled by that VLR.
