A provisioning control apparatus is configured to be coupled to a provisioning equipment server, which is electrically connectable with one or more electronic devices for provisioning the one or more electronic devices with first or second program codes. The provisioning control apparatus comprises: a communication interface configured to receive an electronic credit token having a credit counter; and a processor. The communication interface is configured to transmit the first and second program codes towards the provisioning equipment server. The processor is configured to update a value of the credit counter for each transmission of the first and second program codes to obtain an updated credit counter, and to prohibit a further transmission of the first or second program codes if the updated credit counter indicates that a number of transmissions is reached. A provisioning control system comprises the apparatus and a corresponding method for provisioning one or more electronic devices.

Provisioning control apparatus, system and method

A provisioning system is provided for provisioning a plurality of electronic devices with provisioning data. Each of the plurality of electronic devices is associated with an electronic device type. The provisioning system includes a provisioning control apparatus, and a provisioning equipment configured to be electrically connected with at least one of the plurality of electronic devices for provisioning the at least one electronic device. The provisioning system includes a provisioning security module configured to receive the device type information from the provisioning control apparatus and to generate provisioning data on the basis of the device type information. The provisioning security module transmits the provisioning data to the provisioning equipment for provisioning the at least one electronic device with provisioning data. The provisioning security module maintains a provisioning counter indicative of a remaining number of the plurality of electronic devices that can be provisioned with provisioning data.

Provisioning system and method

A provisioning control apparatus couples to a provisioning equipment server electrically connectable with an electronic device(s) for provisioning the electronic device(s) with a program code. The provisioning control apparatus has a communication interface which transmits the program code to the provisioning equipment server for provisioning the electronic device(s) with the program code and to receive an electronic provisioning token having provisioning control data. The provisioning control apparatus includes a processor that controls the transmission of the program code via the communication interface to the provisioning equipment server. The electronic provisioning token has time adjustment information for adjusting the clock, and the processor adjusts the time of the clock. A provisioning control system includes the provisioning control apparatus and a method involves provisioning the electronic device(s).
