1. An intervening apparatus communicative with a service provider apparatus that provides a service over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, an Internet of things (IoT) device that uses the service, the intervening apparatus comprising:
a communication interface, at least one processor, and storage medium, the at least one processor operative to read program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to mediate configuration of authentication information for a connection between the IoT device and the service provider apparatus, including
receiving initial configuration information including a key Id and a signature calculated based on a first key, the first key generated as a result of a step in an authentication process of a SIM of the IoT device and stored in the IoT device and in the intervening apparatus together with the key Id.
