  • Patent number: 11698994
    Abstract: A method is for a first-time startup of a not fully personalized secure element, which serves for the use of services of a mobile communication network, in a mobile terminal. In the method, the secure element is started and requested to transmit a status message. The secure element transmits a status message in which it is stated whether the secure element: S1) contains only a bootloader but as yet no firmware image for the secure element; S2) contains a firmware image for the secure element but is not yet fully personalized; or S3) is fully personalized. The secure element is accepted in the cases S1), S2) and S3) and rejected in other cases. In the case S1), a download for a firmware image of the secure element is initiated for a first-time startup.

  • Patent number: 10943238
    Abstract: A method for authorizing a transaction reading out a first code and a second code by means of a first mobile device. The second code contains information items for decrypting the first code. From the read-out codes a first signature confirming the transaction vis-à-vis the system is generated, which is transmitted to the system. Subsequently, an authorization of the transaction is effected.

  • Patent number: 10531296
    Abstract: A method for loading a subscription into an embedded security element of a system configured on a chip of a mobile end device, wherein the system comprises an application processor, a non-volatile memory and a secure processor. The application processor and the secure processor can access the non-volatile memory via a bus. In the process, the subscription is loaded by a provisioning service into the non-volatile memory, so that the secure processor can load the subscription from the memory and execute it. The provisioning service is executed by the secure processor and the subscription is loaded by the provisioning service into a region of the non-volatile memory readable and writeable only by the secure processor.
