A method of accessing, in a mobile communication device, an application issued by a Service Provider from a trusted application, also known as a wallet. A secure element, such as a SmartMX device, comprises a service manager that manages the application and a link between the application and an application-codec issued by the Service Provider, wherein the application-codec is designed for interfacing between the service manager and the application, for processing an access request requesting access to the application received from the service manager and, triggered by the wallet, accessing the application via the service manager by means of the link between the application and the application-codec, such that the application-codec linked with the respective application performs accessing the application under control of the service manager.

Method of accessing applications in a secure mobile environment

In an NFC mobile communication device () an operating system, such as a JAVA operating system (JME), is able to start software applications () identifiable by application identifications (AID). The mobile communication device () is equipped with a secure memory device (), e.g. configured as a SmartMX card, which comprises a first memory portion () configured as a MIFARE memory. The mobile communication device () comprises NFC means () adapted to trigger a hardware interruption (INT), when the first memory portion () has been accessed by an external RFID reader (). The hardware interruption (INT) is detected by the operating system (JME) and causes it to access a pre-defined sector (S) of the first memory portion (), to read information from said sector (S) which is representative for an application identification (AID) and to start the software applications () associated to it.

MIFARE push

A method for granting trusted applications (SP_WL) of a Service Provider (SP, SP)access to applications (appSP, appSP; appSP) of that Service Provider (SP, SP) that have been stored in a secure element (SE) comprises: the Service Provider (SP, SP) transmits a request (REQ) for granting access to its applications to a Trusted Service Manager (TSM); the Trusted Service Manager (TSM) generates an access right code (AC) and transmits it to both the Service Provider (SP, SP) and a service manager (SM) in the secure element (SE); the Service Provider (SP, SP) generates the trusted application (SP_WL), provides it with the access right code (AC) and sends it to the secure element (SE); the trusted application (SP_WL) connects to the service manager (SM) with the access right code (AC) whereupon the service manager (SM) grants the wallet (SP_WL) access to the applications (appSP, appSP; appSP).

Method, system, trusted service manager, service provider and memory element for managing access rights for trusted applications

In a method for transmitting an NFC application, a secure channel is established by way of a proxy between a Trusted Service Manager and an NFC device via a computing device including the proxy and via an RFID reader being a part of the computing device. The NFC application received at the computing device from the Trusted Service Manager is channeled through the secure channel to the NFC device utilizing the proxy.

In a method for processing top-up data, a server () receives data related to a request for issuing an NFC application (). The data were sent by an NFC mobile device () and are intended for a Service Provider (). At the server () transformed data are generated by transforming the data related to the request into a format complying with the Server Provider (). The transformed data are sent to the Service Provider () for further processing and issuing the NFC application () to the mobile device () particularly utilizing a Trusted Service Manager ().

Method for top-up information and computer device

A method for server-based managing of unique memory device identifications, such as serial numbers, of memory devices having unique memory device identifications, such as emulated MIFARE devices like SmartMX cards, which memory devices are arranged in mobile communication devices, comprises keeping a repository (DB) of available memory device identifications; fetching a memory device identification from the repository and sending it to a specific mobile communication device; and instructing the mobile communication device to change the memory device identification of its associated memory device from its present value to the received new value. Further, the server instructs the mobile communication device to return the previous value of the memory device identification of its associated memory device. Finally, the server will add the returned memory device identification value to the repository of memory device identifications.
