Offline scripting for remote file management

Abstract

Methods, devices and systems are provided for performing remote file management (RFM) operations at a secure element (SE). A secure file update script is received at an OfflineRFMAgent, located within the SE, from an off-card entity (OCE). The secure file update script has been generated offline by an SE issuer managing the OCE, using a decentralized remote file management (DRFM) platform and comprises a plurality of remote management commands for carrying out file management operations on the SE. In a further step, a security level authentication between the OCE and SE based on the secure file update script is performed. If the security level authentication is successful, in a subsequent step a secure channel session between the OCE and the SE is established through the OfflineRFMAgent. Finally, the plurality of remote management commands is processed to remotely manage a file system on the SE.
