The authentication bugs of SIM cards in Global System for Mobile (GSM) have led us to write the new protocols for these networks using the principles of quantum cryptography. We provide two protocols for detecting and removing a copied SIM card. The first protocol uses the three-particle entangled source and the quantum channel when the original SIM card and its copy login into the mobile network. The second protocol uses quantum memory embedded in the SIM. These two protocols can help us to authenticate the duplicated SIMs in the next generation of mobile networks.
