Benefits of technology

[0008]The objective of the present invention avoids the unfavorable pre-installation practice during the traditional issuance process of the secure elements, and to enable dynamic post issuance operations (procedures), even between previously unknown parties in an ad-hoc manner, utilizing the potential provided by mobile or stationa...

Problems solved by technology

This circumstance is disadvantageous for both the service providers wishing to offer new services via new applications and for the users of the communication devices.
This practice may cause much of the card capacity, and certain storage part areas to be unused, as at the time of production, or before the issuance of the secure element it is not possible to know the real commercial demands relating to the existing and future services.
Hence, some unnecessary applications may be pre-loaded and pre-installed on the card, while other services that...

example 1

[0055]In this embodiment of the procedure according to the invention the goal was to create a security domain 22 in a secure element 20 of a communication device 20 in order to receive information content (e.g. a ticketing application). The steps of the procedure are schematically illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0056]An initial data packet 40 was created in Step 131 (FIG. 3) by the data collecting application installed on the communication device 10. The data packet 40 included the SE data 41 which contained information suitable for the identification of the secure element 20 (e.g. the serial number of the secure element 20) and direct contact information of the SE controlling party 50 (e.g. the secure element issuer). The supplementary data 42 of the data packet 40 contained identification data of the communication device 10 (e.g. type of the device) for identifying the technical capacity of the device 10. The supplementary data 42 preferably includes information identifying the request of ...

example 2

[0062]In this embodiment of the procedure according to the invention, as opposed to that presented in the previous example, the contact details of the SE controlling party 50 was determined first by the service provider 30 in Step 133 on the basis of the indirect contact data stored in the secure storage part unit 20 located in the user 8 mobile handset communication device 10.

[0063]In order to acquire this data, from the indirect contact information placed in the secure element 20 a determined section of a database was reached from which the direct contact details of the SE issuer appearing as the SE controlling party 50 of the given secure element 20 were acquired. In the possession of this information a position request data packet 60 was created from the SE data 41 suitable for identifying the secure element 20 and from the supplementary data 42 identifying technical properties of the communication device 10, furthermore, from the details of the service provider 30 wishing to in...

example 3

[0065]The present embodiment of the inventive procedure (illustrated in FIG. 3 as well) differs from the embodiment described in Example 1 in that the post issuance process involves loading uniquely accessible data content (application) onto the secure element 20, instead of creating a uniquely accessible security domain 22.

[0066]The procedure is very similar, in Step 131 an initial data packet 40 is created at the communication device, which is sent to the service provider 30 in Step 132. In Step 133 the service provider 30 processes the initial data packet 40, determines the SE controlling party 50 (either from direct or indirect contact information included in the initial data packet) and creates a position request data packet 60, which comprises certain required data obtained from the initial data packet 40 and information relating to the data content to be loaded on the secure element 20.

[0067]The service provider 30 sends the position request data packet 60 to the SE controlli...

Abstract

A method for enabling post issuance operation on a secure element connectable to a communication device is disclosed. The method allows an SE controlling party to perform remotely operations such as creation of new security domains for an external party, loading, and installation of applications of an external party and management functions including personalization and activation of applications loaded on the SE for an external party. The method includes the steps of:
    • collecting data stored on the SE suitable for identification of the SE and data for contacting the SE controlling party;
    • creating an initial data packet from the collected data,
    • sending the data packet to a party which can be the external party, an agent of the external party, the SE controlling party, an agent of the SE controlling party.
A communication device and a software application for implementing the method are also disclosed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of PCT / HU2008 / 000114 filed on 6 Oct. 2008 and claims priority of Hungarian Patent Application No. P0700685 filed on 20 Oct. 2007.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method for enabling post issuance operation on a secure element (SE) connectable to a communication device by a party controlling the SE. In a first aspect of the invention the method is performed by the communication device or a software application running on the communication device. In a second aspect the method is performed by an external party such as a service provider.[0003]The invention further relates to a communication device which is connectable to a secure element and a software application that can be installed on such a communication device.[0004]In the context of the present invention the terms “secure element” or “SE” mean a secure storage part-unit, such as a chip card, e.g. the SIM cards used i...
