Explanation:
A security feature of Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) is that it uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) for authentication. A SIM is a smart card that contains the subscriber’s identity, phone number, network information, and encryption keys. The SIM is inserted into the mobile device and communicates with the network to authenticate the subscriber and establish a secure connection. The SIM also stores the subscriber’s contacts, messages, and preferences. The SIM provides security by preventing unauthorized access to the subscriber’s account and data, and by allowing the subscriber to easily switch devices without losing their information12.
