- sp332 14y agoThe ICCID is not a password, it's an ID. It's not secret. In fact it's printed on the outside of the SIM card.
- lukeschlather 14y agoMost ID numbers are used as weak authentication: Driver's license numbers, SSNs, etc. The security on a ICCID is arguably better than any of these things. Unless it's transmitted in the clear? I don't know.
- sp332 14y agoIt's an ID, not an authentication token. If it helps, you can think of it as a username, not a password. It has to be transmitted in the clear or you wouldn't even know who you're talking about.
