APPLICATION IDENTIFIER (AID) PRIORITIZATION OF SECURITY MODULE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Secure transactions in a mobile device can be prioritized to execute on a security module in the mobile device over execution on a remote device. An STK function in a security module of a mobile device is initialized. A communication path between the security module and a secure wireless interface (e.g., NFC) circuit of the mobile device is initialized. The STK function provides priority table information. The priority table information includes application identifiers and links to processor executable software functions associated with the application identifiers. At least one of the processor executable software functions is stored in the security module, and at least one of the processor executable software functions stored in the security module is prioritized over a corresponding processor executable software function executable outside of the security module. The priority table is loaded in the secure wireless interface circuit with the priority table information passed over the communication path.

1. A method to prioritize secure transactions, comprising:
initializing a communication path to a secure wireless interface circuit of a mobile device; providing priority table information, the priority table information including application identifiers and links to processor executable software functions associated with the application identifiers, at least one of the processor executable software functions stored in a security module wherein the at least one of the processor executable software functions stored in the security module is prioritized over a corresponding processor executable software function executable outside of the security module; and loading a priority table in the secure wireless interface circuit with the priority table information passed over the communication path.
