1. An apparatus comprising:
a processing device;
a baseband processor configured to communicate wirelessly with a decentralized mobile network core; and
a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) storing a decentralized electronic subscriber identity module (dSIM) that hosts a decentralized access application that is configured to authenticate the apparatus during a secure initialization process, via the baseband processor, with the decentralized mobile network core using a private key generated by the dSIM and a corresponding public key, wherein authentication of the apparatus does not require use of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the apparatus,
wherein the baseband processor is not natively configured to independently authenticate the apparatus using the private key,
wherein the baseband processor is configured to authenticate the apparatus in conjunction with the decentralized access application.
