摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for distributing and storing electronic access clients are provided to store divided virtual access control clients by efficiently distributing virtual access control clients in a network. CONSTITUTION: One or more access control clients are tracked in a secure repository(202). A first access control client is uniquely encrypted to a target device. The target device downloads only the encrypted first access control client from a single distribution location. The encrypted first access control client is transmitted to one or more distribution locations(206). The first access control client is removed from the secure repository.
