METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONDITIONAL INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION OF SERVICES IN A SECURE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system (100) and method (300) are provided for installing and executing an applet in a secure processor (180). The system (100) and method (300) can receive the applet in non-secure data storage (174). The applet includes a meta-data portion (202) and an executable portion (204). The meta-data portion (202) includes a security meta-data portion, a resource meta-data portion (212), and a meta-data signature portion (216). The system (100) and method (300) determines whether the applet is capable of being executed by the secure processor (180) based at least in part on the security meta-data portion (212) and the resource meta-data portion (214) of the applet, and if the applet can be executed by the secure processor (180), the applet is installed on the secure processor (186).
