PCT No. PCT/AU93/00137 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 14, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 14, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 30, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/20538 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 14, 1993A method for loading secret data, such as an application key, on a smart card (6), which involves storing a random key on the card (6), encrypting the random key on the basis of a public key, and providing the encrypted random key to a central processing station (4). The encrypted random key is decrypted at the central station on the basis of a secret key, and the station (4) encrypts data on the basis of the random key and transmits it to the smart card (6). The smart card decrypts the encrypted data on the basis of the random key. The random key can be generated internally and stored on read protected memory (23) of the card (6). The public key encrypting and secret key decrypting steps may be based on the RSA algorithm, using a small encryption exponent. |
