Best practice note: Why is storing OPc on card more preferable than storing the
actual OP value?
It is more likely that OP can be kept secret if OP is not stored on the USIM, as it
then only takes one USIM to be reverse engineered for OP to be discovered and
published. Hence 3GPP TS 35.205 recommends that OPc is calculated off USIM and then
stored in each card as an individual value. This will allow OP to be better
protected than if OP had been stored in every card.
