Securely Accessing Secure Elements

摘要

Direct management of secure element data life cycles by backend servers without requiring direct communications between a trusted service manager (TSM) and a secure element is provided. A backend server client application executing on a mobile computing device enables users to request loading of application data on the secure element. A backend server receives the request to load application data. The backend server requests command scripts needed to load application data from the TSM and encrypts the command scripts with data stored on the backend server. The encrypted command scripts and application data are communicated to the backend server client application, which executes the command scripts and loads the application data onto the secure element via an interface of the mobile computing device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method to access secure elements on mobile computing devices, comprising:
receiving, at one or more computing devices and from a backend server client application executing on a mobile computing device, a request to load application data to a secure element of the mobile computing device; communicating, using the one or more computing devices, a request for loading instructions needed to load the requested application data on the secure element to a trusted service manager (TSM) server; receiving, at the one or more computing devices, the loading instructions from the TSM server, the loading instructions comprising one or more computer executable scripts for loading the application data into the secure element; communicating, by the one or more computing devices, the loading instructions and the requested application data to the backend server client application executing on the mobile computing device; and loading, by the backend server client application of the mobile computing device, the application data onto the secure element of the mobile computing device by executing the loading instructions and communicating the requested application data to the secure element of the mobile computing device.
