Method for generating a signature code for a signature card uses a code-generating unit and a signature card to create a secrete code as well as a session code and encoded transmission of the generated code to the signature card.

摘要

A personalizing device (PD) (1) personalizes multiple cards (11) in sequence/parallel and links via a secure bi-directional data line (BDDL) to a controlling computer (3) linked in turn via the BDDL to a code-generating device (2), which has a code-generating unit (CGU) (21) for creating a secrete code for a signature card and for signature cards to be processed. The number of CGUs depends on the number of cards within a unit of time waiting to be processed by the PD.
