Problems solved by technology

Also, since APDU formation requires key exchange, in the case of remote personalization systems, smart card keys may be sent over the Internet, causing additional security issues
Also, if for some reason the network communication is interrupted, the programming of the smart card will fail

Embodiment Construction

[0023] As briefly described above, embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for secure personalization of smart cards. In an example aspect, secure personalization of smart cards decouples the creation of Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs) and Application Load Units (ALUs) from the programming of the smart One or both of time and location during creation of application data that is installed on the smart card. This allows application programming and pre-creation of personalization data for the smart card and / or creation of personalization data at a location other than the printing system directly interfaced with the smart card. Furthermore, it allows personalization data sent to the smart card printer to be protected using a security key other than the one used by the smart card; since the personalization of the smart card is moved from the personalization system to the The issue of the security of data while it is being transmitted to the...

Abstract

A secure end-to-end smart card personalization system and method of operation are disclosed. A personalization system generates a customized dataset including personalization data for installation onto a smart card by performing a personalization process using a virtual smart card formatted according to the operating system of the smart card. The personalization system encrypts at least a part ofthe customized dataset using an encryption key that is unique to a card issuance device that is separate from the personalization system, the encryption key being different from any encryption key used to secure the customized dataset when stored on the smart card. The personalization system transmits the customized dataset to the card issuance equipment for personalization of the smart card.

Description

[0001] This application was filed on December 21, 2018 as a PCT International Patent Application and claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 851,326, filed on December 21, 2017, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this article. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to smart card programming. In particular, the present disclosure relates to secure personalization of smart cards. Background technique [0003] Personalization systems, such as smart card printers, can support the personalization of smart cards, such as multi-application IC cards, in addition to performing conventional "print" (eg, image printing) operations. In many cases, personalization of smart card application data can be achieved by sequentially exchanging Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs) between an external personalization system (software application) and the IC card via a smart card reader. When the personalizatio...
