Patent number: 9722999Abstract: A system and method are provided to access a secure host device using a personal security device (PSD). A user's PSD may hold a credential of a requesting component of the secure host device. The credential may only be readable from the PSD when a secure channel is established therewith. The establishment of a secure channel with the PSD may require access to keys. The secure host device may contain a SAM capable of securely storing and operating keys. The SMA may contain the relevant keys to support establishment of a secure channel with the personal security device and release a credential to its requesting component. These criteria may achieve the secure release of the credential from the PSD to the requesting component of the secure host device to achieve access by the user when the PSD is presented in the non-contract field of a card reader monitored by the secure host device.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: John Babbidge, François-Eric Michel Guyomarc'h

Patent number: 9686072Abstract: A system obtains assurance by a content provider that a content control key is securely stored in a remote security module for further secure communications between the content provider and the security module. A security module manufacturer, which has a pre-established trustful relation with the security module, imports a symmetric transport key into the security module. The symmetric transport key is unique to the security module. The content provider shares the symmetric transport key with the security module manufacturer. The content provider exchanging messages with the security module through a security module communication manager in order to get the proof that the security module stores the content control key. At least a portion of the messages exchanged between the content provider and the security module are protected using the symmetric transport key. The symmetric transport key is independent of said content control key.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Assa Abloy ABInventors: Dominique Fedronic, Eric Le Saint, John Babbidge, Hong Liu

Publication number: 20100023776Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining assurance that a content control key is securely stored in a remote security module for further secure communications between a content provider and said security. A security module manufacturer, which has a pre-established trustful relation with the security module, imports a symmetric transport key into the security module, wherein the symmetric transport key is unique to the security module. The content provider shares the symmetric transport key with the security module manufacturer and exchanges messages with the security module through a security module communication manager in order to get the proof that the security module stores the content control key. At least a portion of the messages exchanged between the content provider and the security module are protected using the symmetric transport key.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicant: ACTIVIDENTITY INC.Inventors: Dominique Fedronic, Eric Le Saint, John Babbidge, Hong Liu
