Abstract

A mobile device (), e.g. a token, holds a current key and one or more previous (expired) keys in memory (). If the token needs to communicate with another device (), e.g. with a reader, and the reader does not have the current key but has a previous key, the token encrypts the current key with the previous key and sends the ciphertext to the reader, which decrypts the current key. The token use different cryptographic material for communication with respective different facilities. Rather than requesting the reader to identify the facility, the token assumes that the facility is the same as in the most recent successful authentication. If the authentication fails, only then the token requests the reader to identify the facility. Authentication time and electric power are saved if the facility is the same. Other embodiments are also provided.
