SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNIFIED PASSCODE PROCESSING

摘要

A system and method for unified password processing is provided. According to an aspect, a device can receive a unified passcode. The unified passcode can be a passcode for unlocking access to the device, or can be the basis for generating additional passwords or both. The unified passcode can also be used for generating additional passcodes for unlocking additional features of the device. The generated passcodes can also be used for unlocking modules that are connected to a device such as a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). In cases where a generated passcode can be used to unlock a UICC, the generated passcode is converted to a personal identification number (PIN). The mobile interface to the UICC can be extended to include alphanumeric passwords, in addition to PINs.
