Using IotSafe applet with Quectel EG800Q-EU

IoT Modules LTE Standard Module
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working with a Quectel EG800Q-EU module (firmware EG800QEULCR01A09M04) on the Open EVB Kit. I want to use GSMA IoT-SAFE (the SIM applet for secure TLS authentication) to establish an MQTT connection.

My questions are:

  1. Does the EG800 support integrating IoT-SAFE directly into its internal TLS/SSL stack (e.g. via AT+QSSLCFG, selecting certificates/keys from SIM)?
  2. If not, is there any plan to add IoT-SAFE support in future firmware versions for EG800?
  3. Is it correct that at the moment the only way to use IoT-SAFE with EG800 is by accessing the applet via APDU (AT+CSIM) from the host MCU, and then handling TLS externally (e.g. with mbedTLS)?

If anyone has experience or examples of using IoT-SAFE with this module, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks!

hi，

Thank you for your question.
I’ve confirmed this with internal staff and will get back to you when I have a response.

Thanks

hi，
Sorry for the late reply. After confirmation:

  1. The EG800Q currently does not support integrating IoT-SAFE into the internal TLS stack.
  2. There is currently no demand and no plan to support IoT-SAFE.
  3. Internal integration processing is not supported yet. We can only obtain the relevant keys through APDU instructions first and then proceed with the operation.
