APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING USE OF SECURE TOKENS

摘要

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, operations including receiving an encrypted secure token from a secure token application function that is remote from the communication device, storing the encrypted secure token in a secure element memory of the secure element, accessing user input requesting the encrypted secure token where the secure device processor is separate from the secure element and is in communication with the secure element, generating a modified secure token by adding identification information to the encrypted secure token and by performing a second encryption of the encrypted secure token with the identification information, receiving the modified secure token from the secure element, and providing the modified secure token to a receiving device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A communication device comprising:
a secure element having a secure element memory with first executable instructions, wherein the secure element, responsive to executing the first executable instructions, performs first operations comprising:
generating a modified secure token by adding identification information to an encrypted secure token stored in the secure element memory and by performing a second encryption of the encrypted secure token with the identification information, wherein the identification information comprises a digital signature, a time stamp or a combination thereof; and a secure device processor having a secure device processor memory with second executable instructions, wherein the secure device processor is in communication with the secure element, wherein the secure device processor, responsive to executing the second executable instructions, performs second operations comprising:
receiving the modified secure token from the secure element; andproviding the modified secure token to a receiving device to enable the receiving device to provide the modified secure token to a secure token application function for decrypting the modified secure token to analyze the identification information and to obtain token information for use by the receiving device, wherein the receiving of the encrypted secure token from the secure token application function by the secure element is via a remote management server, and wherein keysets are utilized for mutual authentication of the secure element and the secure device processor with the remote management server.
